Unblock request
And, evading your block to make edits to show that we should remove the block for evading your block will not be a successful strategy. 331dot (talk) 09:09, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Per your instructions in step 1, how should I make this unblock request from my original account if it’s locked? I understand the part about contacting the stewards, I’ll just go ahead and contact them first. Cmnpt (talk) 17:15, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is what you must do first. We can do absolutely nothing for you locally on this wiki until the global lock is removed. 331dot (talk) 17:21, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I contacted stewards two days ago, still haven't received a response. Should I wait longer or contact my blocking steward? Please let me know, thanks. Cmnpt (talk) 01:26, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Stewards are volunteers just like the rest of us, doing what they can when they can. I guess you could try directly contacting the steward that instituted the lock, but either way, patience is required. 331dot (talk) 09:01, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot: I emailed the steward that instituted the lock, should I leave a message notifying him on his talk page on Meta? Because I don't want to get in further trouble for lock evasion, does leaving a message on his Meta talk page count as lock evasion? Please let me know, thank you. Cmnpt (talk) 03:09, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The email should be sufficient. 331dot (talk) 07:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It has been over a week since I emailed Wikimedia stewards, and a week since I emailed my locking steward, still no response. Should I keep waiting or are there other forms of appeal? (i.e. eligible for un(b)lock after x months of no editing,) or will the block be infinite unless I address the issue? Please let me know what I should do next, thank you. P.S. I still haven't edited any Wikimedia project ever since my block on enwiki, and I will continue to not edit, hopefully I can get un(b)locked soon. Cmnpt (talk) 22:30, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I can't force the stewards to communicate with you. It's in their hands now. The only other possible avenue of appeal would be contacting ArbCom. 331dot (talk) 22:36, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * And just to confirm, no unblocks can be made here until the global lock is dealt with? Cmnpt (talk) 03:57, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes. 331dot (talk) 08:41, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * So does this mean that if ArbCom doesn't reply, there's no way to get un(b)locked? Cmnpt (talk) 21:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Any pathway to you being unblocked is going to be a long process. That includes those who hear appeals and who may have other fish to fry before they get to you. And no one can force them to communicate with you- if they don't want to talk to you right now, they won't. 331dot (talk) 21:47, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * As of writing this, it has been three weeks since I've been blocked, during which I haven't edited any Wikimedia wiki. I understand that it may take a while for me to get unblocked on enwiki, but after a week, can I start editing other Wikimedia wikis? I really want to, and I could've done so any time, but I haven't done it at all because I don't want to get in more trouble if this is considered (b)lock evasion. Please let me know if it's allowed; if it isn't, then I won't do it, even if I really want to and I can, because I recognize my past mistakes and don't want to make the same bad choices again. Thank you. Cmnpt (talk) 23:35, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

If you further evade the block/global lock, that will reduce your chances of being unblocked to zero. You should not do it. I would suggest that you find another wiki type project to participate in for the time being, like a Fandom wiki. The advantage there is that you can build up a history of good contributions and behaviors and offer that as proof that you can do so here. 331dot (talk) 23:57, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
