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:.

A few thoughts: Without my understanding of the nature of your project and having only seen your few Sandbox additions, a lot of what I say is based on guesswork, but I hope this is of some help. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:47, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The block would have been partly for the Ola mundo page (which you would not see in your contributions because the edit filter prevented it from being created - admins can see the edit filter log), but together with the French postings to your sandbox there was a general appearance of not being here to create English Wikipedia articles. Blocks are for preventative reasons, not punitive, and yes we generally speak to an editor or issue warnings first. But seeing the repeated attempts at creating Ola mundo in rapid succession, I can see why the blocking admin might have placed a priority on preventing further attempts (see my next point). Anyway, it seems it was an honest misunderstanding of how this project works, and I'm happy for you to be unblocked.
 * Regarding bots, all bots must have prior approval before being allowed to run, and must comply with Bot policy. Rapid automated editing is often characteristic of a vandal attack, and will always raise suspicion.
 * Speaking of sandboxes, you have your own personal sandbox - just click on the "Sandbox" link at the very top line where it shows your login name.
 * The different language Wikipedias are managed individually and, as you have noted, a block on one does not affect the others. In fact, there are often differences in the rules governing the different projects as each one is run by its own language-speaking community - so that's something else that adds to the complexity for new editors! There is a mechanism for globally locking editors across all projects, but that's only used in exceptional circumstances.
 * I suspect using your French Wikipedia sandbox for the same activities might be problematic, if it does not appear that you are trying to build French Wikipedia articles. The French Wikipedia is also not a repository for original material - it's just not what an encyclopedia does. An encyclopedia hosts articles about subjects, and uses external sources as references for their contents. There's also a copyright issue, and if the material has not already been published with a suitable license (which must be compatible with any original copyright status) then it generally should not be copied into any language Wikipedia. Having said that, if your project includes creating descriptive articles in a similar form to Wikipedia articles and is published under a suitable license, then with some adjustments and appropriate references, it might be suitable for creating Wikipedia articles. To be suitable as a Wikipedia article, a piece of writing would need to contain inline citations for verification, to reliable sources (see WP:V and WP:RS) and should demonstrate the notability of the subject (see WP:N). Wikipedia would not accept your project's writing without citations to the sources on which that writing was based.
 * Translating original source material into English could be problematic for the reasons, again, that Wikipedia is not itself a repository of original sources, and for the same potential copyright concerns.
 * For these reasons (and some others) I think it is unlikely that the automated copying of articles from your project directly into Wikipedia would be appropriate, but without knowing what your project actually looks like I can't be sure. It might be better for you to explore the possibilities of getting articles accepted by the French Wikipedia first. And if that is successful, subsequently translating French Wikipedia articles into English Wikipedia articles might be a possibility.
 * As I suggested, Wikisource might be more suited to your needs, but that would depend on the nature of your project (of which I am uncertain). The Wikisource article about it gives a good explanation of what it is (at Wikisource in French). Essentially it's "an online digital library of free content textual sources" and exists in different language versions - the French one is at https://fr.wikisource.org/.

Speedy deletion nomination of Aide:Bac à sable
Hello TCVPYR,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Aide:Bac à sable for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
