Unblock request
Hi Philoserf, I would love if you could rejoin Wikipedia. I see that you tried to request an unblock in September but were denied. Please review the advice given by the reviewing admin. If you have questions or ideas on what it would take to show your understanding of the situation and what you need to do to move forward, maybe we can talk about it?

 * @Philoserf made an enormous mess which created dozens (hundreds?) of hours of busywork for other editors to fix. They completely refused to help with any of the cleanup work, didn't ever indicate that they understood what the problem was, didn't show any contrition, and didn't indicate that they would refrain from causing similar messes in the future. Instead they ignored the problem, ignored conversations about it, and finally stomped away with an "I'm retired now, don't bother me" message. If they want to be unblocked they're going to have to put some effort into it. –jacobolus (t) 01:06, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
