1986
I have ended the discussion on Talk:1986 as it wasn't getting anywhere. We will not be changing the article to make anything more "positive" in your view but I just want to make sure that you understand this one thing: I hope this is clear. If you are still having difficulty understanding how we do things on Wikipedia please have a look at the links in the welcome message above. They should help. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:11, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * There really is no such thing as an article thumbnail. We do not have any code that makes an image into "the thumbnail". Whatever you think "the thumbnail" is, whatever you are seeing on your screen, it is not something that everybody else sees and it is not something that is chosen by Wikipedia so there is no point in asking us to change it.

Talk:Suspension_railway
You made a suggestion at Talk:Suspension_railway and I have asked for some clarification. Please respond. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 06:45, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 1986. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been undone. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. DanielRigal (talk) 15:28, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Terrorism in the United States, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.  Sum mer PhD v2.0 14:21, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Holographic Versatile Disc are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

February 2017
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Talk:Apollo 11, you may be blocked from editing. TJRC (talk) 21:26, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at CNN, you may be blocked from editing. David J Johnson (talk) 18:20, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at CNN. Saturnalia0 (talk) 23:05, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at CNN. ''The article is about CNN - Cable News Network, based in Atlanta - please stop changing to a different organisation. '' David J Johnson (talk) 12:54, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Widr (talk) 13:40, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at World Trade Center (2001-present) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. David J Johnson (talk) 15:17, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. Neil N  talk to me 14:06, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Having reviewed your article edits and talk page posts I have concluded that they are far more disruptive and time-wasting than they are productive. I am therefore blocking you indefinitely. Any appeal should include how you're going to contribute constructively to Wikipedia if you are unblocked. --Neil N  <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 14:12, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Unblock
Please explain this edit. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 21:18, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I thought that a broadcasting tower in Canada found here was the broadcasting tower for CNN. Also, When I first saw CNN, I thought it was the main news network in Canada and the United States. Sausagea1000 (talk)

The comments were accurate. Sausagea1000 (talk)


 * Please explain the situation at Talk:Suspension railway. You seem to have thought part of a video game is a real mass transit system. (Incidentally, just to clarify, I am still not a bot. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 20:50, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

I have revoked talk page access to prevent this user from continuing to troll. Another admin will be along shortly to review the block and may choose to reinstate talk page access. If not, WP:SO would apply six months from today's date, though the user would have to use WP:UTRS at that time. --Yamla (talk) 14:57, 29 December 2017 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 19:51, 29 December 2017 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 22:36, 29 December 2017 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 15:00, 13 January 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 07:50, 14 January 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 18:04, 7 July 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 20:27, 7 July 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 11:51, 26 January 2019 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 01:00, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm back
Checkuser tools show no evidence of recent block evasion (this is a good thing). --Yamla (talk) 13:30, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

I don't wanna sockpuppet because that would only decrease my chances of being unblocked. Sausagea1000 (talk) 13:40, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Oh, OK. I might make another appeal in the future. Sausagea1000 (talk) 12:55, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Explain?

 * It's not a scam. It's actually helpful to you. A stale unblock request at Category:Requests for unblock can appear to those checking the list as one that has been passed over by multiple admins for some reason, so they don't bother clicking to see. That doesn't meant that's what happened here -- unblock requests also go stale simply because there's a backlog. The solution is a new unblock request. In this case you can just copy the old unblock text into this new unblock request. I'd do it soon, as the current unblock request is not good. :) —valereee (talk) 11:30, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, I did it. Hopefully an admin can actually notice this appeal. Sausagea1000 (talk) 11:09, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

"it would probably be easier to just create a new account" err no that would be sockpuppetry and would get that account blocked as well. Lavalizard101 (talk) 18:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

You do realise you are minimodding, right? Sausagea1000 (talk) 02:30, 24 September 2021 (UTC)


 * When I started reading this page, I was about to contact the original blocking admin and asking if we should unblock you. Then as I read, I swung 180 to just straight-out declining: your (post-UTRS) unblock "I've grown up" appeal was fine, and usually the standard offer would have kicked in without issue. But here we have you being impatient and discourteous, and then You do realise you are minimodding, right? directed at ...who is both an experienced editor who knows the rules and, in their particular case, has abundant reason to know the issues socking causes with getting ultimately unblocked.


 * "Minimodding" is the main modding on Wikipedia, but beyond your misconceptions that it would be a bad thing, this, coupled with your issues earlier on the page, make me think that while you have improved, when things didn't run smoothly (as happens) you'd fall back into negative behaviour.


 * So why no straight decline? Well, I thought that having held both views, I'd leave it to you to convince me (or another admin, should I remain undecided) that you can be extended some rope. Nosebagbear (talk) 09:52, 8 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I just assumed that minimodding was bad, because it is not tolerated in most places. Additionally, there is no policy about minimodding, which should probably be written considering that it could affect something as large as a user's block appeal. As for the sockpuppetry I threatened, it was just supposed to be an exaggeration. As mentioned earlier in this page, I do not intend to sockpuppet as it would only decrease my chances of being unblocked. But still, I have no idea why so much information is needed, but I'm going off topic now, so I'll just end it here. Sausagea1000 (talk) 13:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I remain unsure, but insufficiently so to reject the appeal. I will leave it to another reviewing admin - for the sake of our impatient requester (and as another admin may have passed over seeing my comment), any procedural close (if applicable) should be based off 2-weeks from now Nosebagbear (talk) 13:29, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Hopefully my last unblock request.

 * I'd just like to note that I saw this appeal and decided not to review it. That's because all I personally could do after already having declined one appeal is granting one, and the discussion that happened after my last decline made me uninterested in granting any appeal on this page here until at least 2022. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:48, 28 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Daniel, how is that ground to deny the request? He said he wasn't going to review the appeal, yet you said the same thing and denied it? Explain please? Sausagea1000 (talk) 08:15, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

I will stop creating new sections now.
{Unblock|Can an admin please contact Daniel Case and ask him how ToBeFree's message below my last appeal, where he stated that he would not review the appeal is grounds to deny the appeal?}
 * STOP IT. The unblock template is to be used to request an unblock, not for general questions. If you keep abusing your talk page, you will once again lose access. --Yamla (talk) 14:55, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, fine, I will stop. But just so you know, the reason I posted my question as an unblock appeal was because I had asked this question previously and got no replies and creating an unblock appeal puts my talk page in a category that admins often check. I will probably make another appeal soon. Sausagea1000 (talk) 16:10, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

A couple of things before resolving this latest request:
 * Sausagea1000: appreciate you say you'll won't resume disrupting talkpages and edit-warring. Thanks for that. As notes above, you also need to give some indication of what you will do. For example can you name some articles you'd like to edit,? Perhaps outline what edits you actually want to make to them? That would make it easier to determine whetehr this latest request has credibility that the previous ones lacked. If you can't think of any that's fine, but unfortunately it will point away from you needing edit access.
 * Yamla: I know you're not actually the blocking admin but this saga has gone on so long that seems to have retired. So you're the next best thing. Views welcome on this latest request. -- Euryalus (talk) 23:44, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

My edits will mainly involve fixing typos (e.g an to and, every to ever and out to our), updating outdated information (e.g stuff that says it's still 2018) and some other stuff. Can't think of any articles to edit at the moment however... Sausagea1000 (talk) 00:10, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced WP:CIR has been overcome, but I don't object to lifting the block and assuming good faith. I'll warn Sausage that any further disruption may result in an immediate indefinite reblock, so they'd want to be really careful. --Yamla (talk) 10:51, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * One example of an edit that will NOT be repeated again was my edit to CNN where I inserted blatantly false information. Looking back, that edit was dumb and VERY disruptive, possibly vandalistic. Sausagea1000 (talk) 12:40, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

thanks and yes agree with the concern. Sausagee1000 am unblocking given the passage of time and your commitment to make useful contributions from here on, but be aware that any return to disruptive editing will swiftly lead to a reblock. Otherwise, welcome back to editing. -- Euryalus (talk) 20:43, 26 November 2021 (UTC) Thanks for unblocking me. Once again, I agree that I will make useful, constructive edits and resolve disputes using talk pages rather than edit wars. Sausagea1000 (talk) 17:39, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Christ's Hospital
The article Christ's Hospital you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Christ's Hospital/GA1 for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Mertbiol (talk) 12:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Your edits since the unblock
Since you were unblocked, you have made 6 edits, one of which was correct. The five others all had more or less minor issues:


 * This was not correct, the actual Welsh name can be found at the Welsh article: Clarbeston is not even the Welsh name of the town.
 * Here you tried to help, but you actually just enshrined a previous vandal edit by grammar-correcting it instead of reverting it.
 * This was just a waste of time of the GA reviewers, that article was nowhere near GA status.
 * This is very unlikely to get any support
 * This is trying to create an issue where none exists. Please start doing what you said what you'ld do when unblocked, which is actually improving articles, and stop with the disruption. Otherwise it seems likely that you will just be reblocked as a net negative, with very little chance of getting another unblock later. Fram (talk) 08:47, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The Clarbeston Road edit was Google Translate, I don't actually know Welsh. As for the Leez Priory edit, I didn't know it was a vandal edit, I just thought that somebody removed the year because it was incorrect, and didn't remove the in. While I did make this account years ago, since I spent most of those years blocked, I really have no idea what GA quality is, and the reason I nominated Christ's Hospital for GA was because I wanted to nominate it for DYK (something like ...that Christ's Hospital is not actually a hospital) and found that it wasn't a GA, and only skimmed through the article before nominating it. Even though the article was quite long, it wasn't GA quality, despite the fact that it was long enough for DYK (not trying to start an argument because I don't want another block). The cardinal direction merger proposal was because we shouldn't have an article about everything. My most recent edit, which was to the main page talk page, was about showing nudity on the main page, which I don't think should happen because this website is often used by children. Please don't take this as me trying to start an argument, I am just explaining the edits I have made. I am willing to be proven wrong. Sausagea1000 (talk) 09:00, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I would say the latest drama about the 'nip' on the main page is proof enough this one is not here for useful additions to the project. You gave him rope, he used it to tie up a bank teller - reinstate the block for another six months and see if he will finish "growing up." 50.111.19.34 (talk) 00:04, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * First of all, you're an IP address editor. Wether I get blocked or not is an admin's decision. Secondly, have you not seen my edits since then? Not a single one has been reverted. Additionally, how is taking part in discussions on talk pages disruptive? It is not editing the encyclopedia itself and all 'disruptive' changes should be ironed out at that stage. At least I'm not edit warring anymore.

 * WP:CIR. This edit was the final straw for me. Maybe try in another six months once you've matured a bit more. I strongly suggest you not request an unblock, as it's quite likely every other admin watching would have just indeffed you again and are rolling their eyes at me. —valereee (talk) 11:32, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Marston Vale Line
There have been so many changes of plan on this line that I wouldn't bother changing anything until it actually happens. But it probably will. See Testing begins to restart trains along the Marston Vale line and SERVICES TO RETURN TO MARSTON VALE LINE NEXT MONTH WITH INITIAL TIMETABLE RELEASED (24 October 2023, press release, probably) 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 18:03, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * There are some things that get edited as they happen, e.g articles about ongoing wars, but there aren't that many people editing articles related to this subject so I think this is the best option. Even though the information isn't entirely accurate, WP:NOTGUIDE DEFINITELY applies here. Sausagea1000 (talk) 18:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * there aren't that many people editing articles related to this subject I guess you aren't too familiar with UK rail enthusiasts then! [Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that you revert your edit to Fenny Stratford, but only that it might not be worth the effort to replicate it at all stations to Bedford just yet. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:31, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I mean relatively speaking. Articles about stuff like global news can attract hundreds or even thousands of edits in a single day, whereas there are some articles about the UK's 2000+ train stations that haven't been touched in years. This is a big community, but I'm just saying that there are many bigger ones out there. Sausagea1000 (talk) 17:40, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Date of 1972 stock
Thank you for your recent edits to the Bakerloo line article. You are right that the 1972 stock entered service on 26 June. The problem was that you got the parameters to the "age" template the wrong way round. It should have read "age|1972|6|26", not "age|1972|26|6". I have now corrected this. (And it is now correclty showing the age as 51 years; it will automatically change to 52 in June.) Mike Marchmont (talk) 09:07, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Of course, we have to Americanize all the time, even in articles about UK-related stuff. Quite a shame that we have to constantly do things differently to satisfy how it's done across the pond. Anyway, thanks for letting me know where I messed up. Sausagea1000 (talk) 10:35, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
