 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. 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:. Graham87 (talk) 17:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Your recent category edits have been in violation of our guideline about ghettoising categories of people. Also, it's highly suspicious that you've suddenly started doing this sort of thing. To be unblocked you'd need a convincing explanation of your editing pattern. I've mass-reverted your edits. Graham87 (talk) 17:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @Graham87 Hmm... What's wrong with WP:DIFFUSE?.. Long Island Expressway (talk) 18:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * See Amanda Filipacchi for the controversy doing this by gender can cause. Your response only invites further suspicion. Graham87 (talk) 18:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Graham87
 * I had no idea about any of this, to be honest. I was pretty sure that an article shouldn't be included in a category and its subcategory at the same time. I've even seen people get their edits rolled back if they add an article to a more general category when it's already included in its subcategory...
 * Can I be unblocked? I won't touch gender categories if it's such a delicate thing. Long Island Expressway (talk) 18:39, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, unblocked, for one more chance. If you want to make mass changes again, please check very carefully by asking at a relevant page first (e.g. Wikipedia talk:Categorization in this case). Graham87 (talk) 18:44, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * OK. Thank you. You can rest assured that I'll double-check such a thing next time. Long Island Expressway (talk) 18:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
