User talk:BranchGuy180

September 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Sro23 ‎, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  Acroterion   (talk)   00:45, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to User talk:Trivialist, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. North America1000 11:06, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Use of edit summaries Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Ritvik12
It is clear that you are the same editor as Ritvik12, YoshiFan155, Marole3 and numerous IPs. You have been blocked from editing under all of those names. You, the person, are blocked/banned and YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EDIT WIKIPEDIA AT ALL whether logged in or not. Because you have been blocked, all of your edits have been reverted. When you are blocked, you are not allowed to edit. If you edit anyway, that is "sockpuppetry". You seem to be fairly young and do not seem to understand what is happening. The ONLY way you will ever be allowed to edit Wikipedia again is through what we call the "standard offer". It works like this: If you edit Wikipedia again before doing all of this, whether logged in or not, all of your edits will be reverted and we will assume you still do not understand. Your block/ban will continue. If you do not understand this, wait six months WITHOUT EDITING ANY PART OF WIKIPEDIA and use the Unblock Ticket Request System to ask for help understanding why you have been blocked/banned. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 03:40, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) Wait at least six months without editing Wikipedia (whether in articles, talk pages, your sock case or anywhere else).
 * 2) AFTER the six months, log on to your original account, Ritvik12, and submit a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. Explain why you were blocked and why what you did is not allowed.
 * 3) Promise that you will not do it again.
 * 4) An administrator will read your request to decide if you understand what you did wrong and, if so, decide what you must do to be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

I'm NOT young to edit Wikipedia. My original I.P. (24.130.48.156) was unblocked last weekend and blocked again on the same day, that I can't edit my talk page. That block was a mistake. BranchGuy180 (talk) 04:18, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * You, as a person, are banned from Wikipedia. Do not edit. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 04:33, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
 * And even after SummerPhDv2.0 explained to you in plain terms that you must not edit, you do this. I'm going to reiterate what's already been said to you a million times. I'm trying to make this as clear and unambiguous as possible:


 * You are blocked. That means you are not allowed to edit wikipedia. At all. I want you to reread that over and over until it's ingrained in your mind. Say it out loud if necessary. You are not allowed to edit wikipedia. Your only option is to stop editing for six months, whether logged in or out, and then make another unblock appeal via UTRS on your main Ritvik12 account...six months after your last edit. I don't care if you don't want to wait that long, it's your only option. The world will go on. Find another hobby. Better yet, why don't you edit this wiki instead?


 * If you cannot understand that basic paragraph above, then I'm sorry but wikipedia probably isn't for you. If it's true you are too young to understand how wikipedia works, then I'm sorry if were being harsh, but maybe you should wait until you're old enough to comprehend the words being said to you? If you do understand, however, and are just being difficult on purpose, then you are not helping your case at all. We don't need editors who are disruptive on purpose. To be honest, your non-stop sockpuppetry really has me at my wit's end. If you are unwilling to even try the standard offer, well maybe that rangeblock I requested for you will help enforce it, but today I looked at your edit filter log, and considering the amount of disruption you have already caused, I seriously question whether it would be a good idea to ever invite you back. Sro23 (talk) 12:02, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

It appears the editor really did wait over six months before returning to editing, but neglected to use the UTRS to request unblock first. See this and this. Sro23 (talk) 01:07, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

 * PLEASE, please just stop. Like I said, I'm at my wits end here. Sro23 (talk) 21:48, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

So you want me to take a 6 month break, then log in as Ritvik12 and ask for that block to be lifted, and discuss the issue on the articles talk pages, under this name? BranchGuy180 (talk) 21:53, 11 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes. Stop editing for six months, then you may appeal your block using your first account. I can't promise you that it will be accepted however. Sro23 (talk) 21:55, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

What's it mean by ""not accepted""?
 * I mean I can't promise you that your block will be lifted, even after the standard offer. But, do you promise to give it a try? Sro23 (talk) 22:06, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Just so were clear: In sixth months you may appeal your block, using your original account. However, until then you may not edit. If I see you editing before that six months is up, you'll have to wait even longer. Sro23 (talk) 22:15, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
