User talk:Ygglow

Blocked as a sockpuppet
What? So an user cannot dispute the validity of a wikipage if he came from a specific location? I got no ill intent, I HAVE disputed the information in the page with sources which you can see here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_largest_empires&oldid=965544254 in the Semi-protected edit request on 1 July 2020 and instead of having a mod/admin/etc check the validity of my information they block me? I seriously do not understand.

For the sake of discussion,
if we could persuade the blocking and reviewing admins to even consider unblocking you, would you agree to be unblocked except for Talk:List of largest empires and List of largest empires with a WP:topic ban on  pages related to Portugal and Brazil? What constructive edits would you make? -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 16:07, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Ygglow:

How would that even begin to make sense? First of all you cannot even make edits on that page anymore if you don't ask for one in the talk page. I have already made a thread about it there where I have presented solid evidence enough to disrupt the narrative that is presented on the page right now, I was erroneously blocked for sockpuppetry and it does seem like I was only blocked so that the page can be peacefully monopolized by the user TompaDompa (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:TompaDompa&action=edit&redlink=1). His edit in 07:10, 9 April 2018 which you can see here :https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_largest_empires&oldid=835530392 has been sustained by an erroneous source (https://escholarship.org/content/qt3cn68807/qt3cn68807.pdf) at least, in the subject of the portuguese empire's area, on that pdf file you can see that the author makes no scientific research on the portuguese matter and even adds "?" in front of the area size of the countries.

This, is where he should have gone to for information, he should have gone for this articles 1, 2

This works are in portuguese but you should be able to understand them with a translator, they effectively prove my point: '''História do Brasil nos Velhos Mapas. Rio de Janeiro: Instituto Rio Branco, 1965. '''

 * I'll take the forgoing to mean you have no other interest in editing Wikipedia on any other subject, but merely wish to continue on the previous course. Thanks. It's what I needed to know.  -- Deep fried okra  ( talk ) 17:59, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

The only thing I got to know from this exchange was that you have been of no help to me, how does that even make sense? How does me having or not interest in other subjects block me from participating in this one?

Where did I mention that I came from that video in particular? I have contributions that precede that user, or some other user, one that goes as far back as 19th September of 2019, the video in question is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV1fOTHoBvc which was made in 9th June of 2020

Unblock discussion

 * Willing to consider unblock with WP:TBAN on Talk:List of largest empires/List of largest empires, if this is acceptable to the blocking admin and NRP. Though I'm not sure appellant would agree.  (In my Joachim Steuben voice)  -- Deep fried okra  ( talk ) 17:39, 20 July 2020 (UTC).

Response:

There is no justifiable reason for you to do so.I was blocked for being a suspected sockpuppet, which I am not, if that is proven then there is no need for a Topic Ban since I was just making contributions that were respecting all the wikipedia policies - Ygglow

Unblock Request

 * , I talked to a pt.wiki CU about the data, I don’t think this is the same person. Same country and common UA, but different geographic region and ISP, and the geolocation can apparently be trusted. Less common country than we normally see on en.wiki, so I’d probably have gone with ’s posilikely at first too, but I don’t think these are the same people after talking with people on other projects who are more familiar with the data.
