User talk:International Dance Council

May 2023
Hello, I'm Equine-man. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, International Dance Day, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Equine-man (talk) 09:25, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Reviewing admin - this account was editing the BLP article Alkis Raftis. Requested username is the same, so possible WP:REALNAME. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:41, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Would love to know how this editor achieved this in their unblock request: "Seeking guidance: Recognizing the value of mentorship, I have reached out to experienced contributors and sought their guidance on proper editing practices. Their insights have been instrumental in refining my approach and will continue to serve as a valuable resource moving forward." Equine-man (talk) 14:52, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * AI generated appeal? Its style and tone seem very familiar to several recent appeals; and unlike any appeal I saw before then. Good on general promises, non-existent on specifics. No links. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cabayi (talk) 14:54, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The detector says yes. Maybe just a form copied from somewhere. As such, it is drivel which does not actually address the reasons for the block. Please refactor to address the reasons for your block. You cannot use the name of a real person if it is not you. You clearly have a conflict of interest and must not edit that page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:06, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I believe you are correct. Equine-man (talk) 15:55, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
