User talk:MinnesotaTwelves

February 2023
Hello. Since it has been a while since I did my request, I am wondering when I can have my request reviewed. Thanks MinnesotaTwelves (talk) 22:31, 12 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello. Looks like there was some random person doing impersonation and vandalism on my talk page and you have thankfully blocked them. I thought my block was **finally** being reviewed, but guess someone wanted to waste your guys’ time. Anytime timeline on when I can have my block reviewed? Another month? Thanks.

Conversation with CorbieVreccan
User:CorbieVreccan, I don’t have access to my original account after all this time, so I posted here. After my long hiatus, admission of guilt, and promise to be a better editor, I truly hope for the opportunity to edit again. Thanks —- MinnesotaTwelves (talk) 23:15, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * User:CorbieVreccan, I wanted to add to my last message that I wasn’t trying to send a bad signal by creating this new account. Since it has been two years, I no longer remember or have my old passwords saved from my terrible socking days. So, I felt this was the only way to beg for my forgiveness and ask for a second chance. —MinnesotaTwelves (talk) 23:21, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * My concern is not just the socking, but the edit-warring, the refusal to post on the page of your original account, even with this account when you were able, your not tagging the blocking admins and, most worryingly, your mimicking the username of one of the admins who blocked some of your socks. The other concern is the extreme number of socks you used. 23 is a lot, and makes one have to consider that there could be more that were not found. I've never seen someone who did that extensive a degree of socking reform. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 23:22, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * User:CorbieVreccan, there is no excuse for my behavior two years ago. But, I was a young and stupid teenager who was frankly not the best version of myself. As I have moved out of my teen years, I am a changed person who is now a conscious adult. If I only remembered my password, the blocking admin, and the accounts of all those who I sadly wronged, I would have 100% contacted them. If it takes a million sorry letters to right my wrongs and allow me to edit again, I am willing to do it. I decided after these years, I can now come back and I created this account to first acknowledge my old mistakes. I only wish, no longer the stupid teen I was back then, to be a constructive editor. Also, all of the accounts I created were found. In addition, some of the ones in the report you linked I don’t even recall creating (maybe they were accidentally connected). I come here in the best of intentions. MinnesotaTwelves (talk) 23:54, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * User:CorbieVreccan, please let me know if you have any other questions. I am willing to do whatever needs to be done to be able to edit again after waiting these two years. Much thanks MinnesotaTwelves (talk) 22:32, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * As the most recent blocking admin, I have already weighed in. Your block review has been submitted and will now be reviewed by other admins. As long as I'm here I will note that you first claimed that you don't remember who blocked you and who you had conflicts with, but now you are promising that you will avoid the people you had conflicts with. So, you remember now? I am still not encouraged by the inconsistencies and shifts in your statements, along with your history of trolling. I'm also not pleased by how much time you are taking from productive editors. I think anyone reviewing this has to take into account how much time your disruption and needs take vs. any possible benefit that could be gained from unblocking someone with such an extensive history of deception and disruption. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 22:46, 26 February 2023 (UTC)


 * User:CorbieVreccan, hope you are doing well. I still don’t remember, it was a short, regretful, stint two years ago. But I promise to make note of the names by looking at the report and follow through on my word. I have not shifted my statements. I come in good faith and want to be as helpful as possible. I, again, fully apologize for my brief and awful time as a socktroll two years ago. That does not define me now. MinnesotaTwelves (talk) 22:53, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * In addition, I have not acted needy. I have only been nice and have answered all the questions asked of me. My “history” of those two acts only lasted during the summer of 2021. I have had zero interaction with the wiki since and have promised that action was regretful and is something of the past. I will not be a needy editor or repeat my old mistakes, that I promise. I come here asking for a second chance after all this time. MinnesotaTwelves (talk) 23:00, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Minnesota Twelves / Jwb23, I hope I'm not treading on any admins' toes here, but other than looking for socks / vandals, what kinds of edits do you think you would make here if unblocked? What work did you think of doing when you decided to return? And, not unrelated, have you thought about how you could avoid edit warring? Yngvadottir (talk) 22:36, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * User:Yngvadottir, thank you for your question. I plan on focusing almost solely on Minnesota geographical articles (towns and such). I would also maybe venture into editing some local elected leaders too since their pages are always outdated. In answer to your question, wanted to return because I wanted to add the mayor to the Montrose, Minnesota page. Am yes, I have thought a lot about how to avoid edit warring over these past two years. I plan on utilizing the article talk page if any disputes arise. I plan on not having any disputes in the first place too!! Hope these are helpful answers.

 * These are the exact articles you were blocked for edit-warring and socking on. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 22:49, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That was two years ago. I come in good faith and have promised not to repeat the edits that got me in trouble. I will not repeat the same errors and do similar actions. As you can tell by my name, that is an interest area for me. That is all. No nefarious intent. MinnesotaTwelves (talk) 22:53, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
