Tiger - I'm touched
Thank you. But all credit to you for improving the Tiger-class cruiser article by cutting away extraneous matter. GraemeLeggett (talk) 19:31, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. You are quite an experienced editor, but have twice introduced material that has needed to be revision-deleted in the last few months, but your response to the notices is to simply remove them with snarky edit summaries - which is not acceptable. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked (which will basically involve you promising that you will not continue such behaviour), please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * TenthEagle, you say that "I was sent them by a friend, should've checked & it's now fixed". What edits are you referring to? Adult Material, or Hechtel-Eksel? What research have you undertaken since your block to ensure that it is only "one in 5000 edits" of yours that have copyright problems? And how will you respond to constructive criticism in future (is it by continuing to delete it all without prejudice until blocked)? — Bilorv ( talk ) 16:02, 8 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I was referring to Adult Material, I don't exactly recall Hechtel-Eksel but it may have been from a blog ?. I delete all comments in the same way I delete all emails & text messages but I'm happy to keep them if that's what it takes. Steve Bowen (talk) 20:29, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * But you also reply to emails and text messages, don't you? You didn't reply to Dianaa or myself, and you left rude messages in edit summaries like this. It is more normal to archive talk page conversations, but deletion is allowed. — Bilorv ( talk ) 15:32, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * For the record, I did a spot check on a couple of suspicious articles. I did not find anything because the sources are dead and Wayback was uncooperative. MER-C 14:14, 9 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm sure that you could be unblocked, TenthEagle, if you read our rules about close paraphrasing and perhaps asked questions about the parts that are still confusing you, or why we have this guideline. But you will not be unblocked with this clear indication that you intend to continue violating our copyright rules in the future. An indefinite block is not supposed to be an infinite block, but a block that lasts as long as it takes for you to recognise what mistakes you made and convince yourself and us that you can be trusted to edit again. — Bilorv ( talk ) 22:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
