User talk:Metikatic

Welcome!
Hello, Metikatic, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:50, 20 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Will we ever be unblocked or what exactly do we have to do for that? Metikatic (talk) 00:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ThatIPEditor. I noticed that in this edit to Coral bleaching, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ThatIPEditor Talk · Contribs 18:43, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Coral bleaching, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you would like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Coral bleaching, you may be blocked from editing. Kirbanzo (talk - contribs) 18:58, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Coral bleaching. Kirbanzo (talk - contribs) 19:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing including violations of the copyright policy. 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:. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:25, 28 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Ensuring you are aware of this block as it effects one of your students.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:31, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll add . Metikatic, you have to start communicating with other editors; repeatedly reinstating contested content is particularly problematic. And while the copyrighted content that that ToBeFree is referring to is compatibly licensed, it is not appropriate for an encyclopaedia in an unmodified form, and the license in question (CC BY 4.0) also requires that you clearly attribute where the content is from. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:43, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * (just for the record, additional deleted content had been submitted to User:Starfruit101/Coral bleaching) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:49, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, hadn't noticed that page – those sources are indeed not all compatibly licensed. --Blablubbs (talk) 19:53, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Blablubbs and @ToBeFree (and everyone else). I just got the notification of the block and was digging through their contribs & deleted contribs. I'm going to email the instructor now. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:00, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Coral bleaching. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:34, 28 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I've fixed the request formatting. --Blablubbs (talk) 21:31, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * An unblock request that so clearly displays a lack of discussion of the issues with an instructor should probably be declined. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:51, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually we talked to our instructor and we were instructed to follow direction. Metikatic (talk) 21:53, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * If the above unblock request is the result of instructions, the instructions have been insufficient. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:54, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * All this mishap was due to the problem of us trying to post our sandbox into our main space and we were just trying to copy and past that into the main article, which introduced the problem. We didn't know how to do that and after talking to our instructor we were told to do copy and paste since one of our other classmate tried that and it worked to get it on the main space. Metikatic (talk) 21:58, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * , the sandbox was deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, so your editing in the main article was merely part of a larger problem that is not being addressed in your current request. That aside, though, the editing in the main article was highly chaotic, as you may notice when having a look at the revision history of the page. Other editors have attempted to contact you about their concerns, but their messages remained unanswered without a change in the criticized behavior. And even that aside, your plagiarism is unaddressed by the request. The main argument you currently provide for unblocking is your assignment being due, which is a personal problem instead of a credible demonstration of understanding of the actual problems. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:05, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * So should we make another appeal? Metikatic (talk) 22:26, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You use the words "we", "our", and "us". Does that mean this account is shared by more than one person? JBW (talk) 07:38, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I meant we because we are working in group and that person has also been denied access to the sandbox draft. We were also told by our instructor to add the changes we made to our draft and add it to the talk page. We have gone through our material to edit out an anything that is not appropriate and anything that might have copyright infringements. We have condensed the Potential Solution: Artificial upwelling (AU) text, taken out anything that was unnecessary from the images we used which is found in the context section and the infectious disease section paragraph, as well. Metikatic (talk) 13:15, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @JBW looks like they're working on this together with . I believe that's the "we". Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:15, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

is closed. Thanks,. are you there? -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 22:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
