User talk:Corkythehornetfam

Corkythehornetfam, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Were you attempting to impersonate another user? Your edits were only minor changes to your user page, as if you were trying to build up edits to be autoconfirmed. Is this true? 331dot (talk) 19:27, 16 August 2019 (UTC)


 * 502 edits. Too bad that effort did not go into improving the encyclopedia. (sigh)--  Dloh cier  ekim    20:33, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

If you aren't willing to address your inappropriate behaviour, there's no reason to leave you with access to your talk page. If your next edit doesn't substantially address this, I will revoke your access to this page. --Yamla (talk) 21:19, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Respectfully, I am trying to address these concerns. The reason I was giving for my block was username impersonation. I’d like to address the issue by having my username changed. I tried to solve that problem by creating a new account with a more unique name, but I now know that that was a violation and considered a sock puppet. I did not know what a sock puppet was until it was mentioned.

A second reason was given to me later that I had not done anything useful. I contributed to a few pages, added information about the Spartan Marching Band for example, or uploading new images to the Michigan - Michigan State football rivalry article. I also performed many copy edits.

I pledge not to participate in any kind of vandalism, edit wars, or any disruption or damage to Wikipedia. I believe that pledge, plus the request for a username change, covers any possible reason for blocking me.

From Wikipedia: Blocking Policy “Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, not to punish users”.

If I am pledged not to cause damage or disruption, an indefinite block to my account and IP address seems more like a punishment than prevention.

I apologize for the length of this response. To the best of my ability I have addressed your concerns. If there is more that must be addressed, please tell me, rather than threaten to ban me from my own talk page. I cannot read your mind, and am doing my best to rectify this situation.


 * It is inconceivable that your choice of username was an accident. You have made no effort to explain why you selected this name, and until that decision is explained and the thinking behind it addressed, I see no likelihood that you will be unblocked, whether you change it or not.
