your Rfa
I have closed your rfa per WP:NOTNOW. I n k a 888 07:12, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Your RFA
I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you only have 76 edits on Wikipedia; while your edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards by which they judge RfA candidates, this particular RfA was all but assured of not passing.

I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I am confident that you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Wikipedia editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.

If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck!  D u s t i *poke* 08:52, 29 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Core. Stick around, because there's an awful  lot  you  still  need to  learn about  contributing  to  Wikipedia before you  can even consider being  an admin - filling  in  edit summaries for example. Some editors who are 50 or 60 year old university  professors with  five years experience and 50,000 edits sometimes might even fail  to  become admins. I would suggest checking  out  the links on  the welcome message I'm shortly  going  to  post  here, and if you  really  want  to  know what  being  an admin is all about, read WP:ADMIN, and User:Kudpung/RfA criteria where you  will  also  find some more interesting links. Best  wishes, --Kudpung (talk) 09:00, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: American Idol
How do you know there will be six performances in the finale? &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  02:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I know because there are every year, in fact usually there's more but I figure it looks bad with that many TBA listed that many times. Just look back to last year's finale. The finales are always the biggest, best, and most watched Idol event each season.

June 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article 2011–12 United States network television schedule, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. KnownAlias X   08:10, 13 June 2011 (UTC) The entire schedule is attributable to the respective upfront press releases for ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox and NBC with the exception of the Cougar Town/Apartment 23 slot which is directly cited to this article. Please provide some evidence that What Would You Do? will be on the schedule when you say, or stop introducing it, especially when the ABC upfront doesn't even currently include Primetime as one of the renewed shows for 2011–12. And as for the baseball, it is not included on any of the previous schedules (for this century, at least), in all likelihood because the scheduling of games is sporadic and is usually attributed to afternoon games, and definitively because it is not attributed to the regular schedule the way football is, and as such is not sourced as being on the schedule. Scheduling a game is not the same as a regularly scheduled game; again, please source it or stop. KnownAlias X   08:40, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on User talk:Knownalias, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. KnownAlias X   10:33, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to 2011–12 United States network television schedule‎. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. KnownAlias X   23:05, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Ask yourself, Core2012; who are you to me or anyone else on Wikipedia that we can take your word that you know or have met John Quinones? If I told you that I had a personal relationship with Glee's Jane Lynch, or that Jon Stewart was my wife's distant cousin, would you have any reason to believe me? Wikipedia's policy is to VERIFY with RELIABLE THIRD PARTY INFORMATION.  Provide some evidence, or just accept that you know more than everyone else does, and walk away.   KnownAlias  X   10:27, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

ABC source
That'll do just fine for a source. I had to remove it from the schedule, as nothing on there places it at a date or time, but I did add it (and Wipeout, incidentally) to the returning series section. I usually look for more official information in the press releases at ABCMedianet, but yours, finally, works great. KnownAlias X   22:42, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank God, because I was gonna just give up, though I never would do that. I don't see why it can't just be assumed that it will air at the same timeslot, considering it has EVERY single episode and season so far? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Core2012 (talk • contribs) 22:55, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Because this could be the year they flip it with 20/20 like CBS started doing with CSI and The Mentalist. Or maybe use it to fill the gap on Wednesdays or Sundays if Revenge or Pan Am flops until they're ready to plug in Good Christian Belles.  We won't know until they announce their intentions.  That's why it's not an assumption policy (Wiki calls that original research); it's a verification policy.  Like any good reporter.  Like John Quinones.  Oh, and by the way, you really should sign your posts; adding four tildes ( ~ ) to the end of your comments automatically adds your name and stamps the time so people know who you are when you're talking to them.

April 2020
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page List of rallies and protest marches in Washington, D.C. has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 11:28, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Shooting of Ahmaud Arbery
In this past week, you have tried to remove Arbery's race from the article three times, here, here, and here. You have also been reverted three times. Do not do it a fourth time. His race is 100% relevant to the story. Your editing is disruptive. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:39, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Four times. here Twice incorrectly marked as minor edits. O3000 (talk) 17:57, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

There is an ongoing discussion on the article's Talk Page. You can join it here Talk:Shooting_of_Ahmaud_Arbery. Further reverts without engaging in the discussion are disruptive and may result in an report at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Let's not let it come to that. Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 00:26, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. O3000 (talk)

May 2020
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Guy (help!) 10:08, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

August 2020
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for Tendentious editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 21:52, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Core2012. Essentially every one of your edits has reflected a history of tendentious editing, to the extent that it seems like the purpose of your being here is not to build an encyclopedia but rather to engage in advocacy. You have a history of using misleading edit summaries, such as "Fixed typo" or "Fixed grammar", to railroad through changes that reflect a pattern of plain ideological agenda. Here are some of the common edits you've made:
 * Changing "undocumented immigrant" to "illegal immigrant"
 * De-capitalizing "Black" and removing the race of individuals (including edit-warring to achieve this)
 * Other than edits that contribute to a pattern of tendentious editing, you've made essentially no edits. After the expiration of this block, I strongly suggest that you shift your focus; I anticipate that any further block will be indefinite. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 21:58, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with your characterization of my edits. There is no reason to capitalize black, and illegal immigrant is the correct legal term. Core2012 08:26, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Based on this, I have extended the block to indefinite per WP:TE/WP:RGW/WP:NOTHERE. I have posted this to WP:AN] for review. Guy (help! - typo?) 09:04, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

How would I be able to get the block removed? Core2012 15:09, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
 * See the guide to appealing blocks. Guy (help! - typo?) 12:41, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

I am literally agreeing to discuss edits I wish to make before making them on articles in those topics. That solves the issue of problematic edits because if there isn’t a clear consensus I will not make the edit. Core2012 23:34, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Core2012. I think it may be helpful to clarify why I blocked. Essentially, I blocked your account because the purpose of your editing is to push pages closer to your ideological perspective (rather than to improve the encyclopedia as a whole). While this is a perfectly legitimate thing to do outside of Wikipedia, it's disruptive on Wikipedia. This is so even if you seek consensus for each edit before making the edit in mainspace; if you are here for just one issue or one viewpoint, and others aren't, you're going to utterly tire them out from discussing this issue and it's going to be disruptive to our editorial processes. That's why proposes a topic ban from race and American politics: that will give you an opportunity to show that you can improve the encyclopedia more broadly. Hopefully this helps, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 21:09, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

By using the term illegal immigrants I am making those articles reflect legal terms rather than politically motivated ones. The Supreme Court as well as federal laws use illegal and not undocumented. Core2012 23:36, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

It is also very inappropriate to state what you think the purpose of my edits are in a way that implies your opinion is indisputable because you do not know my intentions. Only I have the right to say that. Core2012 23:41, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This will be my last post here unless my participation is requested by a reviewing administrator. I apologize for declaring your intention; rather, what I mean is that it is apparent to me that that is your intention, and as a Wikipedia administrator I have to make that call when taking administrative action. Regarding the "legal term", your note is a content question that isn't really relevant to your block appeal, but every time you make it you're digging yourself into a bit more of a hole. According to the libertarian think tank the Cato Institute, "illegal alien" and "illegal immigrant" are indeed used in immigration law, but collectively constitute only 46% of the legal usage; an additional 46% of the legal usage is "unauthorized alien" and "undocumented alien". (source) But in fact none of that is important, because we do not use the "legal terms" in our articles. We use language reflected in reliable secondary sources. While this is an ongoing debate, your position is not the only correct one; for instance, the influential AP Stylebook has shifted away from "illegal immigrant". In any event, none of that is the reason for your block; the reason for your block, as I said, is that your pattern of editing advances only one ideological position and that is not a good fit for Wikipedia. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 00:18, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Kevin, what can I do to be unblocked without agreeing to any ban? Core2012 01:26, 7 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I edit-conflicted in declining this request, but my reason was pretty much identical to 331dot's, and I also would not support an unconditional unblock. If you edit collaboratively elsewhere and show no sign of promoting any ideological perspective in your edits (and whether you are doing so intentionally or not, your edits do come across that way), then an appeal against a topic ban could be reviewed a few months down the line. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:35, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I will add that each admin can only review one of your requests, so it is not necessary to ask for different admins. 331dot (talk) 09:08, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

All I want to do is be unblocked. I shouldn’t have to agree to censorship for that to happen. I am agreeing to reach consensus for controversial edits. Core2012 21:25, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * As multiple people have explained to you, you've demonstrated you are not capable of editing without causing problems. You are free to make one more unblock request, but given that multiple people have told you that you are unlikely to be unblocked without a topic ban, I strongly suggest you listen to what you are being told. If you can demonstrate several months of contention-free edits, you could then apply to have your topic ban lifted. You are free to plead your case that you should be unblocked without a topic ban, but based on your unwillingness to accept that your edits have been problematic, I have to warn you that it is unlikely to succeed. Remember, you have no free speech here; see WP:FREE. --Yamla (talk) 01:12, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Yamla I did accept that my edits have been problematic. You seem to be missing this. Core2012 05:59, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

How many months would a topic ban last? And I wish for someone other than Yamla to respond. Core2012 23:38, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

It's up to the reviewing admin, but my suggestion would be a topic ban from race and American politics, broadly construed, which you could appeal after 6 months. 331dot (talk) 23:50, 13 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I agree with 331dot's thinking for a potential topic ban. That being said, your going kicking and screaming into an agreement for a topic ban isn't inspiring much confidence to me.  What are the "numerous productive and non-controversial edits" you have in mind?  This can help us assess your ability to contribute to the project to weigh against your past edits that suggest you weren't here to improve.  only (talk) 00:22, 14 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Surely—surely!—you're interested in some thing that doesn't implicate politics! Bicycle tires? Water gardening? Dale Murphy? Graham's number? Christopher Moltisanti?
 * Here's the big ol' litmus test: If you just now read that and felt yourself getting all tetchy because those things are not important compared to my political thoughts as an American in mid-September 2020, this isn't a good fit for a volunteer project for you. If you really want to make this a better open-source encyclopedia, show us that you're cool with spending an hour on a nice Sunday afternoon copy-editing articles like Caroline Calloway and the list of Tibetan dishes and zero-energy building and making them un-embarrassing when, someday, they get randomly brought up by Seth Meyers for some currently unforeseeable reason. If you only want to be the political defender of whatever you characterize your cause as, that's not helpful to this project. Gut it up and hit the "Random article" button in the left sidebar and show this community that you care about this project's article about, oh, hmmm... the 2016 Slovenian Olympic delegation. If your reaction is, "I don't care about that crap," have fun explaining that to our fine Slovenian colleagues, and please go back to your pre-Wikipedian endeavors. Thanks. -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  01:11, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

I plan on some edits to articles related to the 2020 US TV primetime schedule and updating names of shows and other items. Core2012 02:37, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I am an uninvolved admin here, I am willing to unblock you on the condition that you accept a topic ban from race and American politics. This topic ban could be appealed starting six months after your unblock, but would remain in force until successfully appealed. I need a yes or no: do you accept those terms? GeneralNotability (talk) 13:30, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

How does this get enforced and why is politics included? Race has been the primary issue here. Also would you be willing to make the ban be until January 1 2021? It’s not 6 months but it’s a more neutral date. Start fresh in a new year. Core2012 23:07, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * So, to be clear, you are unwilling to accept the option offered you by GeneralNotability, who asked you a yes or no question? --Yamla (talk) 00:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

That is not true. I am allowed to make a counter offer first. You have been hostile to me the entire time Yamla. Core2012 23:07, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not a negotiation. Do you accept the offer, yes or no? 331dot (talk) 23:09, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

There’s no reason to be demanding I’ve been nothing but nice. I accept because since apparently there’s no other way to get unblocked. Core2012 23:38, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

I also need to know that a neutral arbiter will review my ban appeal when that time comes. Core2012 23:39, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

I obviously don’t plan to violate the ban but how exactly is it enforced? Core2012 01:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
 * If an editor sees you violating the topic ban, they can report it to the administrators' noticeboard. If an admin sees you violating the topic ban, they can block you. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:11, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Yamla needs to be banned from actions against me. She is no longer capable of being neutral and is now being confrontational against site policies. Core2012 18:06, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Topic ban violation
These edits were a violation of your topic bans from race and American politics, broadly construed, imposed by. Please familiarize yourself with the wording of WP:TBAN:

The sole exceptions to your ban are listed at WP:BANEX. Please note that further violations of this restriction will trigger further enforcement action. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 06:48, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Of the six edits you've made since your block was lifted, five were in violation of your topic ban. You are exceedingly lucky that L235 saw this before I did. Had I noticed this first, I'd have blocked you immediately. Your topic ban was unappealable for at least six months; you should consider that timer reset; you can not appeal your topic ban until 2021-03-01. You won't get another chance. Any further violations and I will impose an indefinite block on you. --Yamla (talk) 09:55, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

unblock
Core2012 18:11, 8 November 2020 (UTC) I won't review this, since I was involved with your earlier block review. But you were told on October 29th above "Unless clearly and unambiguously specified otherwise, a topic ban covers all pages (not only articles) broadly related to the topic, as well as the parts of other pages that are related to the topic, as encapsulated in the phrase "broadly construed""(my emphasis). 331dot (talk) 18:18, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not only is this unblock request false (the user was explicitly blocked for a non-talk page edit) and the user bordering on CIR concerns it's clear to me at this point that this user has failed to understand the gigantic waste of time they have caused. I recommend that the reviewing administrator revoke talk page access if denying this appeal. KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 18:35, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I won't review this either since I implemented the TBAN, but concur with 331dot. I told you what a topic ban means, and L235 laid it out quite clearly above (including, in fact, "discussing on talk pages"). You've had plenty of chances. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:38, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Just ban me for 6 months and then give me a final chance. Core2012 18:39, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

I was not specifically told talk pages. Pages means articles. Core2012 19:55, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You were told "all pages (not only articles)". 331dot (talk) 19:58, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Ok well I didn’t see that so I deserve another chance especially with yamla being so unbelievably rude. Core2012 20:09, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * We are not responsible for what you see or don't see. You are responsible for fully understanding what you agree to. I think the Standard Offer is your only pathway back to editing at this point. 331dot (talk) 20:20, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

What is that offer? Yamla is the only one who suggested anything and obviously she can’t be trusted anymore. Core2012 20:21, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * See WP:SO. 331dot (talk) 20:23, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

That’s literally what I was doing anyway. But I need a guarantee of no bans at all after that time. Core2012 20:25, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No, the ban will still be in effect and must be appealed separately, after you have demonstrated that you can abide by it and make other contributions. You're not going to get such a guarantee. 331dot (talk) 20:29, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Is there a way to file a formal complaint of bias or intimidation against an admin? Core2012 16:12, 9 November 2020 (UTC)


 * You're blocked, you can't edit anywhere but this talk page. You've convinced me that an unblock would be a bad idea. Doug Weller  talk 17:32, 9 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Note that WP:ARBCOM is still available to you even though you are blocked. Be warned, multiple administrators have already weighed in here, so it's unlikely any formal complaint against any one of those admins would go far; WP:IDHT generally applies here. However, ARBCOM is an avenue of final appeal. Be aware, they may impose additional sanctions upon you; see WP:BOOMERANG. That's not a threat at all, mind you. I'm not part of ArbCom and would expect it's unlikely they'd impose additional sanctions, except perhaps to set a time frame around future unblock requests. --Yamla (talk) 17:58, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

If anyone except Yamla would tell me how to file a complaint against her, please tell me ASAP. She has convinced me she should no longer be allowed to take actions against me. Frankly, her actions thus far should be reviewed for bias. She has been rude since the beginning and I’ve noticed other instances where she is also rude to others for no reason.

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. In addition, your ability to edit your talk page has also been revoked. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then submit a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:59, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You clearly are not understanding how blocks or topic bans work and every attempt to explain them to you has apparently had no effect. While you can request an unblock at UTRS, I recommend you do not edit at all, including attempts to appeal, for six months, then submit a request via UTRS after the six month mark to get talk page access back in order to make an unblock request under the standard offer. Don't waste your time trying to negotiate terms for your unblock or removal of your topic ban - they're not going to happen and frankly all they've done is annoy everyone dealing with you (especially considering that you previously agreed to a limitation and then did nothing except violate that limitation). GeneralNotability (talk) 19:04, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

UTRS 43158 is now open
User has requested unblocking at. Admins familiar with this case are invited to opine. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 14:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Following your statements in the above UTRS appeal, and discussion among several administrators, I have restored talk page access to allow you to post an unblock request here. As you were told at UTRS, any unblock is likely to be on the basis of your accepting that the topic ban can't be appealed in less than six months. JBW (talk) 22:13, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I have made a formal unblock request which still has not been addressed after several days now. It is posted as a new topic discussion on this talk page. Core2012 22:51, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Unblock request 2021
Please wait while I look into the events surrounding your block. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 00:30, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Then why exactly was I specifically told to use the SO? I did not previously understand how broad the ban was and did not realize it was ANY edit in those topics regardless of what the article is about. Core2012 01:16, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

I need an answer please. How do I get unblocked if no one is willing to accept the request? Core2012 20:28, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You don't.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:33, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Except I was told I would be unblocked with a topic ban. Core2012 15:42, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And clearly that didn't matter. You could try appealing to ArbCom, other than that, there is nothing more to do here. 331dot (talk) 15:46, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Someone needs to give me another chance since that’s what I was promised Core2012 21:24, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I highly doubt you were promised that unconditionally. ArbCom is your last avenue of appeal, there is nothing more to do here. 331dot (talk) 21:36, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

I was promised that if I agree to a topic ban I would be unblocked. Core2012 02:52, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Someone needs to give me another chance like I was promised Core2012 06:16, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You were not unconditionally promised or guaranteed that such a thing would occur. Since there is nothing more to do here, I am removing talk page access. 331dot (talk) 07:08, 19 July 2021 (UTC)


 * With the user indeffed, I've removed the TBANs from the conditional unblock editing restrictions. Should an appeal be made in the future, a new TBAN will have to be provided. Nosebagbear (talk) 00:35, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
