Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Sharjah English School, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.  Please see MOS:Headings: Section headings should follow all the guidance for article titles, and should be presented in sentence case (Funding of UNESCO projects in developing countries), not title case (Funding of UNESCO Projects in Developing Countries).

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Pune, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.  Please also see MOS:PUFFERY. Peaceray (talk) 15:53, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to List of University of California, Berkeley, alumni—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Stanford University. Jasper Deng (talk) 09:05, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. firefly ( t · c ) 10:28, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 * I am writing to appeal my recent block from editing on Wikipedia. I deeply value the contributions of moderators such as Japer Deng and Firefly, and I want to express my admiration for their dedication and hard work in maintaining the integrity of this platform.
 * I acknowledge that my recent edits to the Stanford page might have appeared unusual or erratic. However, I wish to provide context for these edits. As a member of the executive board, I have a vested interest in ensuring the platform's robustness and the efficiency of its moderators. My seemingly unconventional edits were an attempt to test the responsiveness and vigilance of moderators like Japer Deng and Firefly. I regret any confusion or disruption these actions may have caused.
 * Furthermore, I am scheduled for a high-level meeting tomorrow regarding the donation drive for Wikipedia. Having an active editing account is crucial for my participation and contribution to this significant discussion. Being unable to access my account would not only hinder my ability to contribute but also be potentially embarrassing in the context of this meeting.
 * I understand and respect Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I assure you that my intent was not to disrupt but to assess the platform's functionality. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and am willing to adhere strictly to Wikipedia's editing policies moving forward.
 * I kindly request the unblocking of my account to allow me to fulfill my responsibilities effectively, particularly in light of the imminent meeting. Your understanding and consideration in this matter are greatly appreciated.
 * Thank you for your time and attention. Harbinger of Change (talk) 10:34, 13 December 2023 (UTC)


 * — (Non-admin) —, to start off with, the you need to acknowledge the block was fully justified. In your own words in this edit, you threatened to ban evade “till my dying breath”. Obviously your appeal minutes after being blocked will not be accepted. That said, if you truly want to be unblocked, you should one acknowledge everything you did that was wrong (i.e. what violates Wikipedia policies and guidelines) and then give an exact idea of what useful contributions you wish to do on Wikipedia. That second part is key as you were blocked under the exact reasoning of WP:NOTHERE. To start with, given your block related directly to Stanford University, if you ever were unblocked, you should stay away from that article and go on a self-imposed (if it isn’t formally imposed) topic ban on anything related to Stanford University. Hopefully this comment helps. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 11:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
