 * This is the oldest account, I think, and the only one that made article edits, so I'll unblock this one. Drmies (talk) 23:54, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

- Drmies My sandboxes just had a bunch of weather boxes in them. Unless that somehow offends you or causes a problem, I don’t see why you couldn’t just leave them there since I really don’t see how a bunch of weather boxes and no edits is causing issues. It also would have been nice to give a warning so I could have saved my hours of work somewhere rather than have it just vanish in an instant. Just seems very rude to unnecessarily delete a person’s work without warning. Steelernation35 (talk) 00:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * You had five different accounts. I left you a note on User talk:Steelernation33 twenty minutes after you edited from there; I didn't start deleting until five hours later. As for the contents, they were inappropriately copies, in violation of Drmies (talk) 00:34, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

June 2018

 * Alright, enough already. Drmies (talk) 04:04, 17 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I added sources. What more could you want? Just leave me alone! It was up for over a year and no one cared until now and you’re the only one who’s had an issue so clearly it’s not that big of an issue.

Here’s a suggestion: Unblock this account so I can still edit but I’ll only show previews and then save those to my computer and not actually save my edits. Then I’m happy because I can update my weather boxes and you’re happy because I won’t have sock puppets anymore and if I do create a sock puppet again, you can block it permanently. Try that as a reasonable compromise. Drmies


 * Question: How many accounts do you have? List them below, please. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 21:28, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

The other two I’m fine with being blocked as this is the only one I have and will use for edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steelernation35 (talk • contribs) 22:25, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

 * What was I missing? I listed them there, I guess I should have said I had 3.
 * You might remember that above, said that there were five accounts, but there are more than that even. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 00:19, 20 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Steelernation 34, Steelernation36, Steeletnation37, Steelernation33. Those were blocked awhile ago but I thought since they had been up for 1.5 years before and I wasn’t making edits I didn’t realize I was doing anything wrong so I created the 2 new ones I told you about but then those got blocked so I now have learned my lesson and know that creating sock puppets is wrong, even if I don’t edit articles with them, so in the future I will only use my one account and focus on contributing to Wikipedia.

 * Well, I'm glad you're listing them all, but I still have no idea what you're doing here besides copying into user space without attribution--and I note you've continued to do that after being warned; did it on 9 June, after being warned. And here's another thing: you complain about my having deleted hours of your work--well, no, I deleted your copying of hours of other people's work. So I will be happy to leave the unblocking to another administrator, and I can confirm that (right now, and as far as I can see) the sock accounts that the editor listed are all the ones there are, and that all the sock accounts are blocked. I'm happy to make a non-CU admin make the call. Drmies (talk) 17:25, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Steelernation35/sandbox was recreated a couple of days after you deleted it, . ​—DoRD (talk)​ 18:00, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Steelernation35, if unblocked, what sort of editing do you intend to do? ​—DoRD (talk)​ 18:00, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Steelernation35 I will possibly be without internet the next few days so I may not respond immediately if you have any questions for me.Steelernation35
 * DoRD I intend to add and edit the climate sections of various places, usually adding weather boxes and updating others. You can check my contributions and find that I did that a lot before with seemingly no issue so that is what I would do if unblocked. And Drmies, I was copying the weather box template a lot but I was making my own changes to them within my sandbox. I was not just mindlessly copying weatherboxes that other people made. However, I won’t do that any more as I’ve already been blocked twice about it so I now realize having sock puppets is wrong. So in the future if I’m unblocked I will only edit articles and if there’s no issue with it, my own sandbox on one account. It says in my contributions that I’ve created or fixed many climate sections, so that is what I would continue to do if unblocked.
 * We use sandboxes to prepare for article edits, to try them out. Any copying into user space MUST follow the guidelines in Copying within Wikipedia, lest (parts of) the editing history may be lost. Please read those guidelines, and any admin considering unblock will want to hear your assurance that you will abide by them. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 21:07, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * A lot of people on weather forums I’m on keep weather boxes in their sandboxes so I never realized that was an issue and then I didn’t really understand when I was blocked the first time. I just read those guidelines so I understand the rules now. I assure anyone who will unblock me that I will follow these rules from now on. Steelernation35
 * Drmies, DoRD I am just wondering if a decision has been reached. I understand that I did something wrong and did it once again after being warned but I now realize the issue with what I was doing and will not keep weather boxes in my sandbox or make sock puppets again. I know I can’t prove I will follow the rules but by giving me a chance, I can show how I have learned from my mistakes and will only make legit edits from now on. I would really appreciate being unblocked and I am hoping you will give me another chance to show I will contribute within the rules of Wikipedia in the future. Thank you.
