You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Ping An Finance Centre. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 16:36, 20 June 2019 (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 read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Block
Hello there I had no malicious intentions of vandalizing any page whatsoever and I recently just learned that account was blocked because it was apparently sock puppeted by me I do not even know that person. The reason I begin editing Wikipedia articles was because I just wanted to update some facts and Statistics that needed to be updated due to recent events about skyscrapers I did not mean to offend anybody or make anyone mad and I apologize. Whatever I did wrong I will not do again as it has made a few people upset and I apologize I had no intentions of doing that Action. I would please like to have my ban lifted thank you and have a nice day Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 00:32, 21 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Funny, that's what you said on your other account, who also just showed up and started editing Skyscrapers, qawinkydink? nada. Good luck with your unblocking. You should find somewhere else to play. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 00:42, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Listen here Flightime
Hey, I apologized, I didn’t mean to do anything wrong, I’m sorry, and if you have a problem with me, just don’t talk to me OK you don’t have to be mad I don’t have to be mad and I won’t do the thing I did wrong again just undo the block and stop  antagonizing me

Bullying me for tinkering with your little Wikipedia article fixing a few inaccurate height statistics is an unnecessary action. I don’t want to be mean but when people accuse me of doing something that I did not do wrong and instead trying to help, I defend myself.

Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 00:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Lincolnlover, Brady, whoever you are... look I welcomed you to Wikipedia because you showed promise. Sockpuppetry and the like is just flying in the face of that initial assessment. All that's left is for you to take the Standard offer and stop with this nonsense. It is highly unlikely that you did not violate our policies. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 04:00, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry
I apologize for my behavior, and I appreciate that you think I had potential. This will not happen again and it was just a misunderstanding. Have a nice day Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 11:34, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

My edits
Listen, I edited these articles for a reason, buildings like China Zun are already completed and reverting the articles are A: mean, B: giving inaccurate information, and C: supposedly, you don’t want to update an article that made me join in the first place Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 14:45, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * But... China Zun isn't open yet? You need to provide a reliable source for those kinds of edits. My apologies for the inconvenience. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 17:00, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

China Zun
According to https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/citic-tower/11116

China Zun is listed as completed Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 21:58, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Block
OK, can somebody undo my block! I’m tired of not being able to contribute to this amazing page and repulsed that some facts and information is still wrong despite the fact that I fixed it, only to have it reverted back to its inaccurate form (I’m looking at you Flightime) please just undo my ban. For Pete’s sake Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 22:58, 23 June 2019 (UTC)


 * You can look at me all you want, you might also want to "look at" this WP:GAB -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 23:05, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry Flightime, you seem like a nice guy, and I’m sorry we got off to the wrong start. Thank you for the link to the unblock page. Guess I need new glasses! I hope you have an absolutely amazing day. Best of apologies/ Wishes, Lincolnlover2005 Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 23:09, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Block decline
I apologize if my unblock request wasn’t exactly the holy grail, I’m only 14. I mean, look at Goldin Finance 117, I basically rebuilt the article from the ground up, updating and adding facts and height statistics that made the page more interesting and informative. I only admitted these malfeasances now because I honestly did not know how to exactly unblock my account. Heck, someone else updated it to the correct format. I walked myself into a corner, so the only way to walk out is to admit my sins. Another thing is that in my apology, never at any moment did I say the word, “misunderstanding” So I apologize if my unban request wasn’t exactly “War and Peace” but it was the best I could do. Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 23:38, 23 June 2019 (UTC) If you didn't think it was wrong, then you didn't need to lie about it. Wait out the six months, tell the truth, and show how you've grown. That is pretty much the only way you'll get unblocked at this point. Cheers, &#8211;  MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 23:57, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Here, you say, "it was just a misunderstanding." Care to walk back your claim you "never at any moment" said "misunderstanding"? Look, I understand sometimes you do bad stuff, then you lie to cover it up, then you are stuck and feel like you have to keep lying, over and over again. It happens, it's part of growing up. But given that you've demonstrated we can't trust you, WP:SO is your best option. Six months will give you an opportunity to mature and have a chance of earning back the trust of the community. --Yamla (talk) 23:52, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I know six months at that age might seem like a big deal, but I would just wait this out. I know this will seem unfair to you, but when faced with the accusation of Sockpuppetry you doubled down and lied instead of say right then and there "yeah that's me. I don't know how to get this account unblocked." Instead, you said "no that's not me. That's someone else."

Mah ban
2 more months to go! Lincolnlover2005 (talk) 13:06, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

My Unban
Remember, I said, "At that point, you'll need to make a convincing argument that despite many instances of lying, we can now (in six months time) trust you. Hint: You'll need to demonstrate you have matured significantly and you'll need to convince us you learned your lesson not just because you were caught." You haven't done any of those things. --Yamla (talk) 19:38, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Secondly, WP:DENY is an essay describing how to interact with trolls and vandals. Lincoln is not either of those things (which presumes a malice for intent). It's right there on the top: "This page in a nutshell: Recognition is a motivation for vandalism. Trolls require food − don't feed the trolls." Finally, if you scroll up on this very talk page, you'll see that I have been following this case for almost a year now. You got involved only six months ago. As the person who welcomed this user to English Wikipedia, I consider it my duty to steer them in the best direction I am able. That's who I am, and it's what I choose to do with my limited free time. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 15:10, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * For future reference, and apropos that this is being further entertained below: Lincolnlover2005 purported "I have waited the 6 months and I believe I am finally able to receive my ability to edit again I understand that I have learned my lesson." Contrary to that purport, merely two days earlier, Lincolnlover2005 requested unblock on the Commons claiming "One of my so called 'Sock Puppets' was simply a previously made account that I forgot even existed until I accidentally logged into it. All the photos I took were from my Flickr Account and NOWHERE ELSE unless I took it and chose WILLINGLY to upload."  This was, of course, a blatant lie regarding both socking (for CUs, evidence is here; even non-CUs can see the  account claimed "as honestly as possible [...] that I have no affiliation with Lincolnlover2005," yet Lincolnlover2005 claimed " All The photos I upload are from my Flickr Account: https://flickr.com/photos/183318886@N04/" (underline added), a Flickr account whose username is "bradycloud2005" (!!!)) and regarding copyrights.  Only when these lies were pointed out did Lincolnlover2005 acknowledge certain of the same.  This seems the clearest possible demonstration that Lincolnlover2005 has, in fact, learned absolutely nothing and is merely continuing the pattern of lying, with admission and disingenuous "contrition" only when caught, identical to the behaviour referenced previously by .  While WP:SO references 6 months on en.wiki, the user (and thereby integrity and competence) at the keyboard does not change with the project space.  Эlcobbola  talk 13:05, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Lincoln isn't a troll. They're just a kid who might actually come back later. I want to make sure it is fully understood that they have been given every chance to amend their ways, and the loss of editing privileges completely falls upon their own actions. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 15:23, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I've not called them a troll, and that you think I have suggests you've not actually read that essay. As neither an admin nor a CU, you cannot see "Lincoln's" behaviour, either in substance or scope, and thus cannot offer an informed opinion.  That you offer comment anyway is your prerogative, but telling.  Эlcobbola  talk 17:04, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Unless you are referring to the actions Lincoln took on Commons (which I am already aware of), there's nothing you can see that I am unable.

My Unban Part Two
I have waited the 6 months and I believe I am finally able to receive my ability to edit again I understand that I have learned my lesson and I have reread the terms and conditions making me realize what I had done. To elaborate, the reason I was banned was because I had been recklessly adding information, despite being true, was unnecessary. It was bad because I had not consulted with other editors before recklessly adding said information and pictures. Not just this, but I attempted to lie and cheat out of the situation I put myself in by creating another account. I realize that I should not have done this and I have an awareness for what I've done is wrong. I hope that this realization can result in my account becoming unbanned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lincolnlover2005 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Care to elaborate? What exactly did you do, and why was it bad? &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 23:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:TALK, it's generally considered impolite to edit your comment after someone else has responded to it. That's not everything you did, Lincoln. Look, I'm still trying to help you despite everything going on IRL for me, but you are going to have to show a deep level of self-awareness for an admin to move forward with the appeal process for you. Otherwise, you're just the kid who wouldn't listen when told to stop, then tried to lie and cheat themselves out of it. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 19:14, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
