Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Pomnyun because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

 * Hello,
 * I had way too many links removed from my page. Please put them back as I am planning to describe the Four Initiatives Pomnyun Sunim is trying to establish with Jungto Society. He is particularly well known for his Youtube talks so that should definitely not be removed from the site. Psychroanoker (talk) 08:32, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I can't leave a message on your talk page because it is completely blocked, but I am happy to leave a message on your talk page next go around. Also, in regards to the block, I couldn't get your message in time so sorry about that. Psychroanoker (talk) 00:10, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Pomnyun. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. 2406:3003:2077:1E60:A3EF:7617:2021:2DE7 (talk) 08:25, 30 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry Sorry. I wanted to take some short cuts instead of me having to explain JTS, Good Friends, EcoBuddha, and The Peace Foundation. I went ahead and just summarized them in another section instead. It is a core part of what Pomnyun does on a regular basis. Psychroanoker (talk) 02:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * “If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.” - Can you teach me how to do this? Psychroanoker (talk) 14:29, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I read up on it. Yes, that sounds appropriate and I can do that! Psychroanoker (talk) 00:08, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I was trying to add that moment with Venerable Pomnyun and his teacher. I avoid adding that script then. I admit that it did not look that good. Please put me back on and keep my links in regards to the Yeongseong as well. Psychroanoker (talk) 02:05, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, I need some help with understanding the vandalism piece. The dialog I had put on there is a true story, but the only source I could find was “”jungto.org.” I know the Wikipedia website looked like a gray block mess, but I was unsure of any other way to present this. Could I have an explanation on why it is considered vandalism so that I may avoid the same mistake? Psychroanoker (talk) 14:25, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

I am really giving it my best shot here. I have not designed web pages before, but hopefully this shows that I am trying to figure these things out. Honestly, it was kind of fun learning about these things with the excellent guides that Wikipedia provides. Maybe there was a reason for the tough love after all.Psychroanoker (talk) 19:54, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Am I on the unblock Request list? It's just been a while and I am hoping for an update on the statusPsychroanoker (talk) 22:47, 20 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Materialscientist has pings turned off so they won't see this unless they are following this page. 331dot (talk) 15:10, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * That is good to know and thank you for the notice. :) Psychroanoker (talk) 20:10, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot Any clarification as to why my name is not showing up on the "Summary of pending on-wiki appeals?" Psychroanoker (talk) 00:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know why it is specifically not in the summary, but it is in the category. 331dot (talk) 08:22, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @331dot That's a relief and thank you. Psychroanoker (talk) 15:32, 17 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Many Thanks __ Still proceeding with caution as promised. (Ok sign) Psychroanoker (talk) 23:21, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Please describe concisely and clearly how your edits merited a block, what you would do differently, and what constructive edits you would make. Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:17, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the inquiry.


 * 1) Truthfully, the first thing was that I didn't do was read the guidelines. I will reference the guidelines on how to make changes to wikipedia pages Contributing to Wikipedia.
 * 2) I didn't do a great job referencing material. I will use the talk function to discuss sources that could be referenced. Also, I will make sure the referenced sources are academic or direct sources based on the guidelines on Citing sources. No more copying and pasting without direct reference. No more referencing from other information sources like https://namu.wiki/ based on the guidelines specified on WP:USERGENERATED.
 * 3) When an editor messages me, I am now aware how I can respond to an editor in a timely manner and will be mindful of the alert badge Help:Notifications. Prior to the block, I was making a lot of changes without paying attention to the alert badge. I think doing any changes slowly and with consultation should help with this.
 * 4) I didn't know how to do a quote box. I also didn't consult with anyone on whether it would have been a good quote to add as well. I know how to use the quote box now based on this template Template:Quote box.
 * 5) I was told to not make Wikipedia a collection of links so I will avoid adding lots of links on the webpage. As it was explained to me, Wikipedia is not an advertisement site, and it was meant to be used as a neutral encyclopedia site. Psychroanoker (talk) 05:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)


 * What do you think? I'll have to drop MS a note. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:27, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I think it's worth a shot. 331dot (talk) 22:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * My humble thanks to the both of you and I will not let you down. I plan to practice caution because this experience has helped me understand how much of a privilege it is to be able to have a voice on this website and how important it is to follow the rules. 🙏 Psychroanoker (talk) 10:50, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
