Hello, I'm Peaceray. An edit that you recently made to Talk:Climate change seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Peaceray (talk) 20:01, 28 December 2022 (UTC)


 * My edit wasn't a test. I added it because of climate change being distressing. B4531826 (talk) 20:16, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * It does seem that you were testing Wikipedia norms about what to label as distressing. Looking at Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Distressing article, it seems that the types of article talk pages that this gets posted to focus on extremes like violent death, sexual assault, or catastrophic events. The template has just been used fifteen times, so it seems reserved for ones most certain to distress readers. While climate change may lead to catastrophic events, it certainly seems well beyond the Wikipedia norms to post it at Talk:Climate change. Furthermore, you offered no reason why in the edit summary when you posted it.
 * Labeling it as a test seemed the most appropriate to me. Which user warning (click on [show]) would you suggest that I have used? Peaceray (talk) 21:20, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:GenZenny. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. --Yamla (talk) 22:33, 28 December 2022 (UTC)


 * It wasn't a test edit. GenZenny tried to trick people by changing someone's comment. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1126896188 for proof. B4531826 (talk) 22:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)


 * What possible benefit did you see in sending a message warning that the user may be blocked, to a user who is already blocked indefinitely? For that matter, how did you even find that user page? --Yamla (talk) 22:41, 28 December 2022 (UTC)


 * A user being blocked indefinitely doesn't necesesarilly mean that that they will never be unblocked and GenZenny wasn't blocked for changing people's comments. And I found their user page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:COVID-19_pandemic&oldid=1129262152#Extended-confirmed-protected_edit_request_on_17_November_2022.

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used mainly for trolling, disruption or harassment. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Please list all other accounts you have used. It would be helpful as well if you can show where you disclosed this as an alternative account of your other one, as per WP:SOCK. You should also address your disruptive edits. --Yamla (talk) 17:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)


 * My only other account is A4531826. I disclosed that this was an alternate account at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1130332973. And I can't address my disruptive edits because you haven't explained how they're disruptive. B4531826 (talk) 18:20, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * That edit doesn't mention A4531826 and didn't happen until after you were blocked. Still, maybe this will be sufficient to convince a reviewing admin. --Yamla (talk) 19:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)


 * But why did you call my edits "disruptive"? B4531826 (talk) 19:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Leaving warning messages on a banned user who has already had talk page access revoked and who hasn't edited in weeks is disruptive. That's not even looking at your other edits. This was harmful. Adding something that wasn't even an earthquake, let alone an earthquake with a magnitude 6 or above, was at best, bad judgement. Plus, there's what Peaceray brought up. Basically, if you don't think your edits were disruptive (and cannot convince us you won't repeat them), I would very strongly oppose anyone from lifting your block. --Yamla (talk) 21:11, 29 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Why does the White Earthquake have that name when it wasn't an earthquake? B4531826 (talk) 21:19, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. But if you truly thought it was an earthquake, I'm afraid we can't trust your future edits. Or you were trolling. --Yamla (talk) 21:20, 29 December 2022 (UTC)


 * According to the definition at https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/earthquake?q=Earthquake, the White Earthquake actually was an earthquake. B4531826 (talk) 16:04, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You are failing WP:CIR. --Yamla (talk) 17:52, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * How am I failing that? B4531826 (talk) 18:08, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Either you truly don't know, in which case WP:CIR applies, or you are trolling. Either way, I'm done. Don't ping me again. --Yamla (talk) 21:16, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Help request (denied)
Please add Template:Adopt me to my user page because adoption will probably stop my edits from being disruptive. B4531826 (talk) 05:26, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ❌, you may seek adoption if/when you successfully appeal your block. It's not designed for users who are currently blocked. If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then use the unblock template again. DanCherek (talk) 06:40, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Since it was not clear enough when I reverted this help request, let me spell it out. You, as a blocked user, still have talk page access mainly for the sole purpose of making an unblock request. While a certain amount of caterwauling about your block will be tolerated, since it's not worth reverting, but making a disruptive help request is inappropriate. Since any edit by a blocked editor is at risk of being deleted simply because of the block, it's particularly true of a request for a proxy edit that could have no effect if done as long as you remain blocked. And it was quicker to revert the request than to add a longer explanation. A help request adds your page to a category where a variety of helpers get notified. Something had to be done to turn off the noisemaker.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 07:08, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
