User talk:Think for Yourselves

If you would refer to my user page, you would see me problem. I was a member several years ago, and was blocked, and also maliciously edited under my IP a little over a year ago. I feel horrible for doing this, and want to know the proper course of action to be reinstated as a member.


 * Hello, and welcome back to Wikipedia,
 * Under ordinary circumstances, if what you say is true, then you will be probably allowed to edit constructively here. But just so we are all on the safe side, I suggest you join here to chat with other experienced wikipedians so we can look into your case, and check for the best way to move forward -
 * Hope this helps.

Blocked, with a but
Ok, I have blocked this account for the time being. While your honesty is appreciated I'm sure you understand that you were in fact evading a block. So, here is how I believe we should proceed:


 * Consider this a "procedural block" not a "go away don't come back" block.
 * Pick one account that you wish to use from now on.
 * Only log in as that user. Ever.
 * I will be opening a discussion of formally unblocking you, and I will let you know where it is as soon as it is open. Please be patient, this may take a few days.
 * After reading that discussion, feel free to post anything you would like included in it here and it will be copied over for you.

Thanks so much! I have decided that I will use this account as my sole account. I thought that I was going to have to use an old one, but I'd prefer to use this current, scandal free one. I realized after actually looking through things that the creation of this account constituted block evasion. I apologize for that; I had no idea that it did when I made the account. I was merely trying to figure out the correct path forward. I intended no harm to be done. Thanks for considering my appeal, and I'll gladly do whatever steps are necessary.

What do you plan to do if unblocked? --Rschen7754 07:50, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

I would probably update a lot of pages and the like about U.S. politics and politicians. I consider that my expertise, and although many of my troll posts in the past were about that, I feel that I can overcome the past and be constructive. I also consider myself to have a fairly good knowledge of various movies and TV shows, so I'm sure that I could help there, as well. I could probably help fill in some history pages, but I'd probably want to start with something less complicated.

 * I seem to be having a bit of trouble clearing the autoblock that was on your IP, so you might not be able to edit right away but it will expire in a few hours. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:57, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Thanks so much. Don't worry about maliciousness or anything. I take it upon my honor that I won't go back to the dark side.

Welcome back!
