Welcome to Wikipedia and the edit-a-thon on SDGs in September 2020
Hi,

I am EMsmile, and I am a part of a group of people wishing to improve SDG-related articles on Wikipedia. We are organising this online SDG edit-a-thon during Global Goals Week, 18-26 September 2020. Please take part in it! If you have any questions about this work, please feel free to ask your question on the event's talk page here. The event page itself is here.

Here are some pages about Wikipedia editing that you might find helpful:
 * Quick introduction to Wikipedia
 * Finding your way around Wikipedia for novices, including tutorial videos
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Ten Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia

Please sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ) when you post on talk pages. This will automatically produce your username and the date. Look for the "tilde" character on your keyboard; for example on English keyboards it is to the left of the "enter" key (accessible with the "alt gr" key).

 * Hello KAP03, I meant to start the page on Swahili Wikipedia. Please delete the page here. Sorry for inconveniences. --CaliBen (talk) 09:48, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Hello Drmies, may you please clarify more about this. I recently tried adding photos on English Wikipedia under the WPWP campaign. Did I violate any rule? --CaliBen (talk) 17:45, 29 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah. There's an enormous number of accounts doing the same thing, from the same IP addresses. This is very odd. Drmies (talk) 17:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * We share laptops to support each other in learning to contribute in the Wikimedia projects. Currently, there is a campaign for adding photos to Wikipedia pages. I have not made any edits with my username in the recent few days so other users have been using the laptop to edit. Is this a problem? --CaliBen (talk) 17:56, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello Drmies, I realize and apologize for the violations that have been taking place due to the participation in this campaign. It was not intended for the mistakes and violations to take place. I request for my account to be unblocked as this will never happen again. --CaliBen (talk) 18:18, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * CaliBen, I need to hear what the background is of this campaign, and how we have so many accounts from the same range. I need you to have a look at Administrators'_noticeboard, and at this. Because this has raised many eyebrows. Drmies (talk) 18:19, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Drmies, the link to the campaign page is you can find more details about the campaign there. Editors use this tool  to find Wikipedia pages from different languages with no images and they add images from the related Wikidata items having photos. I have communicated with the users to stop adding the photos not to cause further problems through the campaign. --CaliBen (talk) 18:34, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Admin: please see Administrators'_noticeboard. And I'll just say this: CU evidence is clear but does not prove that ALL the accounts I blocked are the same person. If you believe this user is honest and of good faith, feel free to unblock. Drmies (talk) 20:21, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you —CaliBen (talk) 19:15, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello Drmies, I hope you are doing great! I have been waiting to be unblocked for quite a while. Since, I am still blocked I thought of kindly asking you if there is any further step I have to take to be unblocked. Thanks --CaliBen (talk) 10:39, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh my dear CaliBen, I am so sorry--I wish you had let me know earlier since this is entirely my fault: there was one more screen for me to click through. It's taken care of now: please accept my apologies. Drmies (talk) 14:15, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello Drmies, It is okay, apology accepted --CaliBen (talk) 11:21, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Are you good
