Psthomas
We have talked before, then you said to contact after 6 months. I only remembered it after seeing a notification this morning through mail about me being mentioned in an article in which i was involved previously with tag reverts. It's been a year now and currently I would like to ask you as an admin to prevent use of my username in any wiki-articles, without permission and to not use at all it in any negative sense. I feel I deserve this privilege.

I would also like to request for revoking my block.

Reasoning
Looking back one thing I know is that I wasn't familiar with policies and was only starting to understand what an admin is then. If I remember it correctly, after reverting the tag my articles was targeted for deletions without specific answers, most of them looked like policing and I felt it as bullying and felt strongly to stand against it. Now I know it wasn't bullying but following policies, this wasn't mentioned then or taken the time to explain clearly. Though I am clear from the memory of the incident that skilled editors could have spotted all the signs of a newbie and someone who didn't know what bite is to mention it. What I can ascertain is that I wouldn't go for complete article creation now and would follow related policies. Though I am a person who can make mistakes, but if policies cited honestly any mistakes from my part would be cleared. For matters I didn't understand then I cant truly apologize, but I can be careful in the future.

If the block is now reverted or not, I don't want my username misused and I hope this privilege would be respected as a wikipedia user and as an editor who have previously attempted to contribute to the project.(but didn't understand or were aware of the policies in its whole sense) This is not any attempt to evade blocks, this is the only way I know to communicate given the situation.

Just letting you know that the IPsocking has continued since the block and as recently as a few hours ago there's the claim of not knowing Psthomas. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  05:08, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've left a note on their talk page so that if they request an unblock reviewers can look into it. Max Semenik (talk) 04:07, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

UAA soft block question
You soft-blocked User:Serviceyearalliance for promo (reported to UAA as SPA editing Draft:Service Year), and said user seems to be back at it as User:Audreykono, working on the same article. As the UAA was not formally resolved, is this considered socking that needs to go to SPI? MSJapan (talk) 18:51, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * , I personally don't consider this a violation. If she engages in promotion later, we can deal with it through our usual channels, but right now the draft is not promotinal (albeit it doesn't demonstrate any notability either). Max Semenik (talk) 05:18, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
