Roman numerals
Your remarks about the "Year 4000 Problem" are already covered (just have a look at the last thread on this page). There is no need (in fact it it only confuses the issue) to duplicate this. Just in case the logic of the answers escapes you the year 3999 will not come for another 1976 years. Soundofmusicals (talk) 13:37, 20 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The year 4000 problem is real.
 * Like this:
 * MMMCMXCVI
 * MMMCMXCVII
 * MMMCMXCVIII
 * MMMCMXCIX
 * (On the last line I had to switch to Source mode because of the template. So Y4K is real.) Epochalypse2038 (talk) 13:53, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * No it isn't. Quite apart from everything else there is not (and never has been) a "governing" rule that says you CAN'T render 4,000 as ! (or for that matter ) - it just isn't part of the current "standard". For centuries no one had a "problem" with being the largest number available because it wasn't. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 14:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * But now MMMCMXCIX (3999) is the largest Roman numeral without vinculum. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 15:13, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * What's wrong with or ? (Or any of the other historical ways of writing 4000 without using vinculum? There are lots of them - that's the very reason none of them are standard). --Soundofmusicals (talk) 15:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * They all fell out of use. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 15:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Simply because none of them were needed. So has vinculum for that matter. It could be revived for this (or any other purpose) of course. We have 1,976 years to work something out! If 2038 (or any of the other "problems") really exist then solving them would fix any RN problems. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 20:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * No, year 2038 problem has nothing to do thing year 4000 problem. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 21:15, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Y4K Epochalypse2038 (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * If every way to write 4000 in roman numerals fell out of use, then Y4K is real. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 05:25, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * What happens at the end of XII/XXXI/MMMCMXCIX. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 05:38, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Turn off your computer before midnight on XII/XXXI/MMMCMXCIX. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 05:40, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

February 2023
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. 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:. DatGuyTalkContribs 13:58, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You may only have one account, but you're still continuing your previous disruption on Voiced velar tap, which you were previously blocked for. As written in Sockpuppetry, sockpuppetry takes various forms, and continuing the same behaviour that led to blocks being placed on the various IP addresses you have used is a violation of the policy. Besides, a velar tap being impossible doesn't mean an article on it shouldn't exist. I haven't seen a unicorn, but unicorn sure exists. DatGuyTalkContribs 19:37, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Reasons why your unblock request is weak: You should take these things into account and write a better request. Dronebogus (talk) 19:23, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * you didn’t provide an actual reason
 * you didn’t acknowledge that you understand what sock puppetry is and why it’s bad
 * you have demonstrated issues with WP:CIR (see the nonsense deletion request I speedy closed) and WP:IDHT (see the above thread about the “year 4000 problem” where you are just arguing about a trivial issue for its own sake)

You say that you are sorry for the disruptive editing, but you are not blocked for disruptive editing. You are blocked for WP:sockpuppeting. Please, explain why you were using other accounts and/or IPs.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:47, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I fixed it. Now I am saying that I am sorry for WP:sockpuppeting. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 06:52, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I declined your request. It is not enough just to say you won't do it again (especially after you claimed you didn't do it). You have to persuade us that you understand the problem and that you will be editing constructively if unblocked. We don't need editors who only want to fix typos and edit sandboxes. That is not reason for unblocking.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  09:43, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you, plaese, provide some context here? I don't see any sockpuppet investigation.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:47, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, yes. Epochalypse2038 is certainly the same person as the many IPs that have been editing Voiced velar tap disruptively. They used this exact same wording when appealing one of their previous blocked IPs, Special:Contributions/217.30.166.114. DatGuyTalkContribs 23:52, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

You've previously promised this back in January, only to break your promise. You clearly haven't the slightest intention of following through on your promises. --Yamla (talk) 11:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This is my last promise: "I will never edit Voiced velar tap again." Epochalypse2038 (talk) 11:34, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm saying that I never edit Voiced velar tap even when there is a typo. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 12:13, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I fixed it. Now I'm saying "I'm sorry for breaking my first promise". Epochalypse2038 (talk)

Please accept this. I want to edit software, add citations and create articles. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 12:52, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Your overall contributions still give an air of WP:CIR, particularly your obsession with the “year 4000 problem” Dronebogus (talk) 15:05, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * What? Epochalypse2038 (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry for doing that. I won't do that again. Epochalypse2038 (talk) 17:50, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
