January 2020
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I declined your request to delete Draft:Christopher Paul Richards under CSD criteria G13 as the article was edited recently (last 7 days). Please do not nominate any articles for deletion (regardless of method) unless you fully understand the process and rationale. Thanks, N.J.A.  &#124; talk  14:08, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

List of best-selling books Revert
I wanted you to know I reverted your edit to List of best-selling books because the article you cited claims Mein Kampf only sold 85000 copies in its current release - not the 12 million you claimed. Furthermore, the introduction of the article indicates "All books of a religious, ideological, philosophical or political nature have thus been excluded from the below lists of best-selling books for these reasons" (emphasis mine) so please do not attempt to redo your edit without a discussion on the article talk page.

Thank you.

Please slow down and take the time to read and understand the edit summaries. in that context, "Geneva" and "Paris" are not city names; they are the names of the treaty "Acts" -- essentially versions -- named after the cities where they were concluded. TJRC (talk) 01:40, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Notice
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. creffett (talk) 14:16, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Indefinite block
Sorry, but even the potential harassment of minors is something we take very seriously on Wikipedia. You said while he's inactive on YouTube and Instagram. When I ask him to follow on Instagram, specifically do not. I'm so sorry about my incident while ago. Frankly, that is too incoherent for me to parse. Until you are able to provide a sufficient, cogent explanation, this block will remain in effect (unless, of course, the Arbitration Committee or Trust and Safety figure it out first, in which case, I defer to their discretion). El_C 16:13, 10 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Specifically, I don't made WP:BLACKMAIL to someone, because I would help while I've supposed for being apologized. --SwissArmyGuy (talk) 22:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

A suggestion
Since you do not seem to be capable of writing fluently and coherently in the English language, perhaps it would be better if you tried contributing to Wikipedia in whatever language you speak best. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  22:40, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

My apology

 * SwissArmyGuy, this is just a suggestion but you may want to post an explanation in whatever your native language is, since it's obvious both from your posts and from your article edits (e.g., , ) that your English is limited and it seems you're having a lot of difficulty trying to explain in English what happened. As Cullen328 says above, you may also want to consider contributing to the Wikipedia in your own language instead of here, since if you keep trying to contribute here without speaking the language, you're likely to continue getting into difficulties. &#8209; Iridescent 08:06, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

 * SwissArmyGuy, I have removed the userbox from your user page claiming that you are a native speaker of the English language, as you clearly have difficulty even making yourself understood in English. Those userboxes are for us to help each other with communication, and making false claims about language ability is misleading. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks User:Boing! said Zebedee, no wonder what I did to translate some English articles, but sometimes even multilingual articles. --SwissArmyGuy (talk) 08:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Being multilingual and being fluent (I suspect you mean fluent rather than native) are not the same thing.Slatersteven (talk) 09:44, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * But I briefly translated some foreign articles, including sources from German Wikipedia among with this article SS America (1939), . --SwissArmyGuy (talk) 09:50, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * This is the sum total of your edits to SS America (1939); all you did was remove a gallery, mess about with the image placement, and add a single incomprehensible and apparently machine-translated sentence to the text. Again, we're not trying to be nasty, but this is an English-language project and if you can't speak English, you really shouldn't be editing here. &#8209; Iridescent 09:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

 * But also I forgot something, even I cited these sources about the auction of King Tut's bust, ( and ) and citing copyright information for Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. --SwissArmyGuy (talk) 10:15, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Including I removed this gallery from the SS America (1939), to omit this space, but it is only available at Wikimedia Commons gallery page. --SwissArmyGuy (talk) 10:05, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Lastly, I've been removed and changed some external links to SS America (1939). --SwissArmyGuy (talk) 10:14, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * At this stage AGF flies out of the window on a pig. Are you just using goggle translate, because the problem is not the words its the syntax. I think this has gone way beyond not being nasty, your English really is of the "all your bases are belong to us" variety. Please stop wasting our time now.Slatersteven (talk) 10:20, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I am sure with AGF, and using Google Translate, but I'm very serious with both. --SwissArmyGuy (talk) 10:22, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * This my my last comment here, the above is nonsense (and as such renders any attempt as meaningful reply pointless). I am going to suggest you stop posting nonsense, go away and actually learn the language, before the ability to post here is taken away.Slatersteven (talk) 10:30, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk page access revoked
You are clearly unable to communicate in English in a manner that is comprehensible. You have been wasting everyone's time here — no one can understand you. As a result, your talk page access has been revoked. El_C 10:53, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

You did not need to email me about your intention to appeal via UTRS. But since you did, a word of caution: if you continue to to waste the time of volunteers there, too, you are likely to see the same result in that avenue, as well. El_C 11:08, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Since inappropriate emails have been the reason for the block in the first place, and even talk page access had to be revoked due to persistent disruption, I have revoked email access as well. To my knowledge, there has not yet been new abuse of the email feature; this is a preemptive measure. The block should prevent the user from ever continuing what they did; a block with email access enabled does not serve this purpose. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:01, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Thanks, ToBeFree. El_C 13:09, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Cross-wiki block circumvention will not be tolerated
