Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (Hello. I am brand new and just figuring out how all of this stuff works.  I do not know exactly what to put in my page.  I found one humorous userbox, but am still working on it. Most of my edits outside my userpage were to pages in need.  I just wanted to mostly copy edit and clean things up.) --Smearg (talk) 23:34, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. 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:. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 23:34, 18 August 2019 (UTC)


 * There is a general Sandbox and you also have (or can create) a personal sandbox(see the upper right corner of the screen if on a computer). To me it looked as if you were trying to build up your edit count to gain extended-confirmed status and edit protected articles. Anyway, what productive contributions do you want to make if unblocked? 331dot (talk) 00:04, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

I would like to mostly edit movie articles. Eventually editing things like poor plot synopses and expanding articles that are small. I would also like to edit sports articles and work on game summaries. To start, I just want to mostly edit small things like spelling, grammar, sentence structure, etc. to get my feet wet, because I don't know how everything works yet. I also think I would enjoy working with formatting. Smearg (talk) 00:16, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Were you trying to build up an edit count? 331dot (talk) 00:20, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't know there was an edit count, or that there was an advantage to more edits. I was messing around with my userpage absentmindedly.  I thought that page was just for me to mess around with.  I didn't know about the sand box you mentioned Smearg (talk) 00:41, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
