July 2020
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Average human height by country, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Transcendence (talk) 06:11, 10 July 2020 (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:.

 * Admin note: account is obsessed with height and edit-warring; its history shows it was created for that specific purpose. Who the master is is not clear yet, but undoubtedly that will follow--even without such evidence (including CU evidence), it's clear that this is not an editor who wishes to thrive in a collaborative environment.

Thanks for your unblock request. Some questions when you have a moment: Not looking for an essay on the above, just a few sentences to give some idea that you understand the issue that led to the block. If you really want to continue editing it will need to be with a more collaborative approach; otherwise the block is likely to persist.
 * What is your association with User:Dazaif?
 * What is your understanding of collaborative editing on Wikipedia? Can you see why WP:NOTTHEM is relevant to your edit history? How will you avoid this issue if unblocked?

331dot I feel like I'm pinging you a lot today, sorry about that. Any views welcome on the answers to these questions if/when they arrive. -- Euryalus (talk) 00:17, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Drmies is the blocking admin, not me. 331dot (talk) 00:19, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, sorry about that., a ping for you. -- Euryalus (talk) 00:49, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * This height obsession is really pathetic. But Euryalus, I don't see any evidence of socking and no connection with Dazaif (whom I just blocked...for socking...). Anyway, this user just doesn't get it: it wasn't "spamming without explanation" or whatever. I'll leave it up to you. Drmies (talk) 02:33, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for viewing this.

1. I have no association with Dazaif, or anyone else. This is my one and only account.

2. Collaborative editting is not being engaged in an edit-war, which doesn't get anywhere. If I am in a disagreement with another user, I should let admins make the decision, and I should engage in diplomacy with the user I disagree with, rather than just changing what they changed back. I will also not talk about the wrongs of others in the context regarding my wrongs, which is relevant to NOTTHEM. In the future, I will exercise more caution regarding collaboration. I will also not revert more than once every 24 hours, if that is another rule I broke.

 * comment yeah... in the future you'll just post another call to action in a sexist/racist reddit thread (Aznidentity), creating a WP:Meat, where you coordinate with other ethno-natiolists, like User:12b2s, to tag team and create a false consensus on a page. I was lucky enough to be warned, but who knows how many other articles you and your "friends" influenced. Belevalo (talk) 13:42, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Another thing is this, admins. Belevalo keeps going on random talk pages with other admins, falsely accussing me of being some socketmaster and making things up about what I said or what my intentions are. I assure you, I know nobody one wikipedia but myself, and the people on my side in that article are not my "friends", but simply happen to agree with me. In any case, could you please get Belevalo to stop his attacks on me please.

 * Hi Shadowdeathss. Thanks for your reply above. The issue holding up an unblock is that a large proportion of your edit history is edit-warring over heights, interspersed with minor vandalism. I don't presently have confidence that you won't resume this conduct if unblocked.


 * An unblock might work if it was accompanied by a topic ban on articles and content related to height. This would allow you to edit other areas of Wikipedia and build a body of good contributions which might later lead to that topic ban being lifted. Let me know if this is something you would agree to. -- Euryalus (talk) 02:14, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

I'll agree to that, thank you.

 * Okay, in the spirit of WP:AGF I've unblocked your account but you are topic-banned from any article or article content associated with height. This topic-ban is broadly construed, meaning if in doubt about a borderline edit you'd like to make, it will be best to simply not do it. As with all topic bans it also applies to talkpages, WikiProjects etc. From the discussion above there isn't a lot of support for this unblock, so be aware that further disruptive editing will get your account reblocked fairly fast. And after all those grim messages, happy editing in non-height related pages. -- Euryalus (talk) 03:04, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
