&lt;nbsp&gt; AND THE MESSAGE LEFT BY MisterBee1966
Thank you for your message. I was under the assumption (yes! I know what happens when I assume (Ass U Me) and I was wrong) that the &lt;nbsp&gt; HTML tag was used only to prevent what I call a 'hard line-break'. By a 'hard line-break', I mean going from one paragraph to another, with a space between the two lines. I checked-out what you said and, of course, you were correct. I sincerely apologize for my screw-up. I atempted to leave a message on your TALK page, but I continue getting a message that says you've been RETIRED for the last 3 years. I hope you receive this message. All The Best, 06:53, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm TSventon. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Phil Konstantin have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. TSventon (talk) 09:48, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

APPEAL TO UNBLOCK WIKIPEDIA ACCOUNT ID: RTMORPHINE
Since you posted another lengthy rant that is too long to read, have decided to remove your talk page access. I will leave the request open, but if it is declined you will need to use WP:UTRS to make further requests. 331dot (talk) 16:52, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

For your own protection, do not post here or send copies of personal identity documents that can be used to steal your identity, and don't prove much since it is not difficult to fake pictures of identity documents. 331dot (talk) 16:55, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

And I'm a guy. 331dot (talk) 16:58, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

I've once again redacted your personal information. SQL Query me! 17:25, 25 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I've digested some more of your request. Re "I believe that if I had originally lied and said it was me who vandalized the “Phil Konstantin” Wikipedia page and that I was sorry and would never do it again, that my account would have been unblocked. So much for honesty being the best policy."  This is precisely why compromised accounts are not unblocked. Also, re "Would someone who isn’t the creator of an account (an account that has no special privileges), go through the time and effort that I have gone through to restore my account?".  Yes, people do attempt to do so, probably more often than you think. 331dot (talk) 07:35, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I was going to restore your access to this page to permit you to respond to comments if you wish, but it seems I did not remove it in the first place. However, you will need to keep your posts to a minimum length. 331dot (talk) 07:41, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

331dot’s message
Greetings: This is a brief message. I just saw your reply to my last unblock request. This was after I re-entered it with the addition of the e-mail message the bot sent to me and the response that I received when I clicked the hyperlink. I don’t believe what I wrote to be a rant. My suggestions for proving who I am and that I’m in control of my Wikipedia account were excellent and totally reasonable. Additionally, my observations about 1) Wikipedia’s different standards depending on whether I’m asking for my account to be unblocked or making a donation, and 2) indicating the ambiguity in Wikipedia’s text about this issue, were both spot-on.

Since my Wikipedia account was not only blocked, but I was banned from creating a new account, what do you suggest I do in order to be back in Wikipedia’s good graces? Thank you. All The Best, Robert Ternes Previously, rtmorphine Rtmorphine (talk) 17:45, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Donations are handled by the Foundation, which does not handle day-to-day issues on Wikipedia. They just operate and fund the computers Wikipedia is on. I'm not sure why the UTRS system would be doing that, you could try again, maybe with a different email address.  When you do get through, I would suggest that you keep your answers to the questions to a few sentences each if you want it to be considered.  331dot (talk) 18:26, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk page access revoked
You've been told the length of your unblock requests is abusive. 331dot was going to revoke your talk page access based on your previous request, which I believe to have been 1072 words. You just posted one that had just short of 2500 words. WP:WALLOFTEXT applies here. I have therefore followed through and removed your talk page access. --Yamla (talk) 17:53, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

The facts of the matter
I am the original blocking administrator. For the sake of discussion, I will accept your various explanations above. On July 16, your account added false information to SS Athenia (1922), stating that German submarine U-123 torpedoed that ship when the reliable sources agree that it was submarine U-30. Perhaps that was an honest mistake, and another editor corrected the error within minutes. Six days passed without any edits from your account. Then, on July 24, your account made 11 serious vandalizing edits to Phil Konstantin over a 56 minute period. Those edits posed a major risk to Konstantin's reputation, and he considered them embarrassing and insulting, and complained about them at Wikipedia's help desk. That led me to block your account. You claim that your password itself was not compromised so this leads to the conclusion that, for at least 6-1/2 days, your device was logged into Wikipedia and that potential vandals had access during that time. We know for sure that a vandal had access for nearly an hour. That is the very definition of a compromised account. In addition, your comments on Talk:Messerschmitt Bf 109 variants call your competence to edit Wikipedia into question. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  19:51, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
