User talk:RV2014

Welcome!
Hello, RV2014, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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) 16:03, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Bombyx mandarina. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Bombyx mandarina, you may be blocked from editing. Simplexity22 (talk) 22:04, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. 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:.

Pinging User:Guettarda/User:Ian (Wiki Ed) for comment; based on the user's edits this appears to be an entirely valid and necessary block. Yunshui 雲 水 07:59, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * . Yes, it's a perfectly valid block. I have communicated with RV2014 by email, and hopefully they understand what was problematic about their edits. They though the wiki pages was copied from EOL, and thought they were removing a plagiarised version. Edit warring and lack of accountability to the community is the real issue here, which hopefully they get.
 * Provided that they can convince you that they understand their mistakes, and you're willing to unblock (I'm not saying you should or shouldn't; obviously that's your call) I believe that they should draft their changes to the article in their sandbox, and only move it into mainspace after I've looked at it. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:56, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Also note that the fact that this is part of a graded assignment should not be part of your decision - I'm sure their instructor can find an alternative assignment in the event that they are not unblocked. I only brought up the other details to say that there's plenty of support for them, and I'm willing to work closely with them going forward. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:01, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Ian. Based on your comments, I would encourage RV2014 to add a new unblock appeal, below, setting out what they understand about the problems with their editing so far and how they intend to proceed. If the stipulation that you review their work in sandbox or draft before it goes live is held to, I'd be disposed towards lifting the block. Yunshui 雲 水 15:10, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That sounds good to me too - I have no objections to unblocking on those conditions. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:53, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
