Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Lodge, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Have you considered not trolling? (and, presumably from the bad signature, block-evading?) Walsh90210 (talk) 04:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

consider the facts here. have you once seen me trying to put down someone and try to stop them from contributing? all i've been trying to do is volunteer and handle AFD discussion just like a wide number of editors. okay, i've been using all those IP addresses.

not once have these people taken the time to explain why i was blocked in the first place or which blocked person they're referring to. that's not fair. combined with the failure to communicate makes things even worse when you don't know why you're blocked to begin with. thanks for understanding. --Baedo126 (talk) 04:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You're the one signing your comments with fake names, and knowingly violating the AFD closure policy. Walsh90210 (talk) 04:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * the criteria for closing an AFD is clear. they have to be 7 days old.  and my last closure i used my actual name.  Baedo126 (talk) 04:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * and given that you got reverted by someone else it pretty much shows I was correct in closing it as it was to begin with.
 * The process was correctly closed by a trusted contributor, instead of by a new user who fails to take feedback from others. Or capitalize appropriately. Or sign their edits. Contributing on Wikipedia isn't difficult unless you make it so. BusterD (talk) 12:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

You have been blocked
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. BusterD (talk) 04:15, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * If you delete this notice, I'll remove your talk page editing privileges. BusterD (talk) 04:29, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

there really isn't much to do here. if you want to help resolve this once and for all i'm open to ideas, but know my contributions aren't harmful as you think.
 * And your edits are not so helpful as YOU think. All I see lately are reversions. What makes you think you are sufficiently trusted to close an AFD? BusterD (talk) 12:33, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Tell you what, since you’re willing to talk and communicate I’ll post the outcome to AFDs ending today with clear consensus. If they’re correct would you be willing consider shortening the block?  Or if you still don’t trust I would agree to keep away from the process and try something else.  Baedo126 (talk) 20:08, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

my predictions
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Asger Svendsen Keep
 * Articles for deletion/Asger Svendsen keep
 * Articles for deletion/Joseph Chrape relist


 * We are not interested in your predictions. Either contest your block or stop editing here. --Yamla (talk) 22:28, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Will you unblock if i agree to leave the AFDs alone going forward? You can reinstate if I go back to attempting at closing AFDs with any account or IP you can reinstate the indef. fair enough?
 * Nothing here has demonstrated to me that this would be a good idea. WP:GAB explains how to contest your block. --Yamla (talk) 22:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Dude. I've indef blocked you. I'm not unblocking. Just because I've been civil, don't think I've volunteered to review your edits, either. There is a process for unblocking, and you're not paying any attention to it. You may apply, using the instruction Yamla has kindly linked. It may not work in your favor that two sysops have already declined to help. You might go to WP:5P to read up on what we're trying to do here. This isn't social media. You are expected to demonstrate your trustworthiness by acting in a mature manner. So far, no go. BusterD (talk) 23:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It's reasonable to ask why I suddenly descended from nowhere then indef blocked you as WP:NOTHERE with zero explanation. An unblocking admin might want to know my thoughts, and I'll concede I could have made the block more temporary. I could have done so during the above conversation (and expected to do so after engagement), but I chose not to do so as the discussion unfolded. When I came to the situation, I saw an AfD which had been poorly closed reverted by another editor, and when I looked further I saw you in edit war on your close at Articles for deletion/SBSS 0953+549. I thought: this person shouldn't be closing. Before I blocked I looked at all previous edits and found only one not previously reverted. I saw a two year-old account with nine edits suddenly editing again starting by closing AfDs recklessly. Impulsively, I chose NOTHERE. The longer this discussion goes on, the more I think that choice was ultimately correct. BusterD (talk) 15:24, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The above was an edit conflict with the block challenge below. I had hoped to post before an admin arrived but they were quick. BusterD (talk) 18:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
