Kingdom of Nauru
I have moved your article to Draft:Kingdom of Nauru because it was clearly not ready for publication in article space. Draft space is a place that gives you time to work on improving it, without worrying about it being deleted. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:02, 13 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you. It needed lots of work. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 03:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

High error rate
Hello again—if I could offer some more advice, could you please make a habit of checking the relevant articles before making corrections? Many of your edits have been reverted for reasons that would not crop up if you took a glance at the relevant page being linked to. Cheers. Remsense 诉  02:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * What dó you mean by “relevant articles?” Also, which edits? Chould you be mire specific. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 02:38, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You changed "Osama bin Laden" to "Osama Bin Laden" in War in Afghanistan (2001–2021) because you thought you were fixing a capitalization error—one glance at Osama bin Laden would have rectified this.
 * You changed "Umayyad Emirate" to "Umayyad Caliphate" in Siege of Tortosa (808–809), thinking it was some inaccurate neologism—one glance at Umayyad Emirate would have clarified that it was a distinct polity.
 * Remsense 诉  02:42, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Í see. But also, the reason í corrected Emirate to Calipahte is because í thought it was refering to the Umyadd Caliphate not the Emirate of Cordoba. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 02:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The Umayyad Caliphate as such ceased to exist c. 750. My point still fully applies: please double-check that your corrections are actually corrections. Remsense  诉  02:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, í should check for factuallatyy more often. Thank You. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 02:47, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aldamira Guedes Fernandes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Quixeramobim. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Article not available
@friend,In your userpage There is a link referring to an article which claimed to be created by you but after clicking this shows that no such article exists or might be deleted.I hope you could do something to reorganize your userpage.regardsKEmel49 (talk) 04:24, 7 April 2024 (UTC)


 * It’s a draft, but yeah i need to fix it. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 15:11, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Blocked
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. 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:. Graham87 (talk) 05:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Your editing pattern is highly suspicious and you are clearly an incompetent editor. You are not welcome here. Graham87 (talk) 05:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Also the fact that you say you've previously had accounts here is highly concerning. Were they blocked for any reason? Or do you mean IP addresses? On your user page you say you've had an "IP account"; that's a contradiction in terms. Graham87 (talk) 05:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, I found you because an edit you made added extreme overlinking with a link to the "Australia" article. The fact that you even thought to do that without checking the simplified Manual of Style linked above (that clearly advises against it) does not portray you in a good light either. Graham87 (talk) 07:03, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I just lost my password tó the other accounts. With the IP account, í was blocked several times due tó abuse of Admin powers. There where periods where í didn’t even edit and still blocked. It was very Consistent. Check my editing history. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 12:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Please, all my edits where in good faith.
 * My accounts:
 * User:Leninistpython
 * I can not seem to find my other accounts, but they where called Snipercobra and Socalistviper, tó be exact.
 * You will see that í haven’t made edits on the accounts in months, so í am not a sockpuppet.
 * Again, í am relativley new to Wikipedia, and try not to Make any mistakes. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 12:28, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I have also read the manaul of style. I was not aware it was there. Chould you please be more specific on how my edit pattern is “suspicous?” Blackmamba31248 (talk) 15:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Unblock request
Those where acccent marks, and the spelling mistakes are mostly do to the Auto correct that is endabled, as i use an Icelandic keyboard. Either way, i should of went and corrected it. (UTC)}}

Additional unblock request

 * The appeal above is the first coherent and well-written thing you've written. Thank you for demonstrating that you have read the guide to appealing blocks.


 * I must say, this talk page shows ample evidence of careless writing and contributions that force others to clean up after you, leading others to suspect a lack of WP:COMPETENCE that deserved block. The fact that you have had multiple accounts in violation of the terms of use to which you agreed when you created them is also sufficient reason for blocking. Thank you for disclosing them, although you haven't explained why you created them in the first place. Are you saying those accounts have been abandoned forever? Do you plan continue with this account without creating yet another account? ~Anachronist (talk) 06:25, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, the reason i created them follows:
 * My first account: First time i edited Wikipedia, lost the password a couple of days later.
 * Second and third: Wanted to be able to edit a semi-protected page.
 * Current: I decided i wanted to have a permanent account rather than being an IP user. Some are saved in my password log, but i had belived i had lost the password. Also, the “cobra” one i had not made any edits on and i created before i started editing, and abandoned it a few days later.
 * When i was on my IP account, i will admit i was blocked almost every day, but then i was unblocked the next day. It was constant, and no talk page message was left. I have never vandalised Wikipedia, the reason i was blocked for some reason. If you checked my IP account edit history, you won’t see anything. Also, it was my School IP, which might have been the reason. For the lack of Competence, after the “High error rate” message, i now always fact-check. I’ve read Competence required and everything related. I do apoligize for the foolish edits. (Also, if my unblock request is accepted, i will continue editing this account) Blackmamba31248 (talk) 12:06, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you realize that if you confirm an email address in your account profile, you can still access your account to reset your password if you lose your password? If you haven't yet added your email address, then do so now. It's under Preferences, User profile tab, email options section.
 * Based on these responses I am willing to unblock if you have no objections. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:01, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, í’ve added my email to my account now, just not confirmed it, because problem is, í created this account on my School device, and foreign emails can not be sent. I am logged in on my home device, but í obvisouisly have a different email on that, so really nothing i can do. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah do what you like ... I'm not really in a position to do much because I'm trying to get used to this new computer. Graham87 (talk) 14:30, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Confirm your account with what you would consider your permanent email address. The device you use shouldn't matter, particularly if you can get email through your browser, which most mail services offer. You should be able to access your account from any device, but if you lose your password, you would need to reset it from a location or device where you have access to the email address you confirmed. I'm reluctant to unblock until you get this sorted out, because administrators don't want to deal with yet more accounts from you just because you didn't manage your account access properly. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:58, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I’ll get that done. Thank you. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 00:18, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * So are you saying í can change my Email? When i created my account, i used my school email. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 00:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh. I got a little confused when i read that. I have changed to my home Email now, and confirmed it.

Blackmamba31248 (talk) 00:27, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have unblocked your account. Now that you can recover access if you lose the password, be sure that this is the only account you use from now on, or one of the admins will block you again again. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Regarding your WP:AN report
Yes, it is nothing. In general, if an editor makes a silly "drive-by" comment like that, either just ignore it, or if you're absolutely sure you're following WP:TPO, remove it. (If you're not sure, leave it up to the next person who discovers it). There's no need to report it anywhere. I don't know if they were trolling, but I doubt it. In fact, I doubt the person behind that IP is ever going to view the talk page again. Think of it as a YouTube comment. I'm oversimplifying a bit, but unless it's hate speech or repeated personal attacks, it doesn't need to be reported. And even then, maybe not. Remember trolls thrive on conflict; having their comment just quietly deleted an hour later is boring. One more thing: "only edit" doesn't mean much when it comes to IPs; most IP addresses are dynamic these days and they may have been only assigned that IP recently.

 * Thank you, i will consider this the next time a see a troll. The reason i was concerned was unlike Youtube or any other Social Media, Wikipedia is a formal setting, but, you’re right. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 02:22, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Also regarding Special:Diff/1223587482, you really, really, really don't want to be posting at WP:ANI unless you know what goes on there. It's a hostile, high-drama place, so only go there as an absolute last resort. Seriously, be careful. Technical matters can go to WP:VPT, which is friendlier. However, I think I can answer: File:Example.jpg is WP:CASCADE-protected through Cascade-protected_ items/content but not protected directly, and for some reason, the "view source" link only shows up when the page is protected directly. I don't know why, but it probably has something to do with efficiency. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 03:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for iforming me of this. I will only Post on there when i see persistent vandalism or something serious like that. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 11:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
