Hello, I'm Hammersoft. An edit that you recently made to Reuven Rivlin seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! --Hammersoft (talk) 17:07, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is only being used for vandalism. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

 * Seriously? You post anti-zionist images to templates under a misleading edit summary, get a vandal4im warning over it, then go on a rampage against the edits of the person (me) who reverted your vandalism, undoing edits on more than a dozen pages...and you expect to be unblocked? Sorry, no. Recommend denying the request and re-blocking with talk page access revoked. This is just time wasting. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:21, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but if you see the reverting of your edits as "disrespecting" you, then you really don't understand the way we work here. Anyone has the right to revert any change you make, whether or not you personally think they are right, and the onus is then on you to seek consensus if you want to make the change again - and if you see the reverting of any of your changes as disrespect, then Wikipedia might not be an appropriate environment for you. I urge you to re-examine my recommendations and the policies to which I linked and to consider agreeing to my suggested changes in your approach. Just saying "I will highly respect the Wikipedia spirit at further edits" is unlikely to be sufficient - I expect the next reviewing admin would want to see specific commitments to specific behavioural changes.

 * Right. Your contributions speak for themselves. Good day sir. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:24, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, but when blocked you *should not* have been making any edits logged out at all, the only thing you should have been doing was requesting unblock from your account. What you should have done was engage in discussion *before* you got yourself blocked. It is not disrespecting to ignore block-evading edits and comments, it is perfectly proper. All you are doing here is repeating the explanation of the things you did wrong and telling us why you did them, with no apparent understanding of why your behaviour was wrong.

 * (EC) Again? This was the one, and only time, this account was blocked for vandalism (so this tells you're admitting to sockpuppetry). Additionally, the edits made were, to be blunt, offensive and had nothing to do with edit warring. Finally, you wiki-stalked an editor and deleted their edits. In short, no, this account will not be unblocked, and I'm removing talk page access as it's obvious this is nothing more than trolling. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:27, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * x3 I support denial of the unblock request and removal of TPA per . -  Mlpearc  ( open channel )
