Request reason:

I will be more contributing. I want to fight vandalisim, which seems to be everywhere nowadays. Also have around 75K edits from Wikidata.

Decline reason:

Looking at your contributions, it seems that the vast majority of them have been to your user or user talk pages, and only 12 have been in article space [1], and most of them weren't particularly useful. Indeed, since posting this unblock request, you have continued refactoring this talk page [2]. Other than a vague promise to "fight vandalism" (without giving any indication that you understand what vandalism is), and no suggestion that you intend to build the encyclopedia, I see no reason to unblock you at this time.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Could you start by detailing exactly why you were blocked, and how you propose to rectify the behaviour that led to this? Optimist on the run (talk) 19:31, 11 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Optimist on the run: I got blocked for using Wikipedia as a social site, and now I will contribute on articles. PokestarFan (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
I reviewed some of those Wikidata edits. I assume you are aware that you introduced a dozen or so errors each to all of your most heavily edited items? I'm not impressed by such a "quantity over quality" approach. Huon (talk) 19:49, 11 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Huon: What? I am not aware of that. Can you please link some examples? PokestarFan (talk) 20:09, 11 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
You added labels to year articles for various languages that don't use Latin characters, say literary Chinese. I'm pretty sure that the label of, say, 2221 in Chinese is not "2221" but... something in Chinese characters. Huon (talk) 20:32, 11 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Huon:Numbers in Chinese do not have translations[1]. For example, 2221 is 2221 in Chinese, but year 2221 is 2221年. If you want characters, I will change the Chinese translation to say 2221年. PokestarFan (talk) 21:42, 11 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I know that it will always look like I am editing my talk page, so I want to have a fresh start. Can I have a fresh start? I will allow the alternative account to betracked, and will not make any edits that shows that I am trying to decorate my user space. Can I please have a fresh start?

How can I get myself unblocked?

edit

How can I get myself unblocked? I have tried The Standard Offer, and it did not work. I want to show that I really want to edit, but there is nothing I can do. Can I do anything, or is it indef block for life? PokestarFan (talk) 23:36, 29 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

One option open to you would be for you to copy (with attribution) a small article from the main encyclopedia onto your talk page, and for you to work on it over the next few days and weeks, demonstrating your ability to edit, reference, generate citations, work with wiki markup etc. When you finish working on an article, you can request another unblock, this time you'll have generated a body of evidence which an administrator can take into consideration and to then decide on unblocking your account. We're all here to write an encyclopedia, that's where you've had trouble in the past, so focus on that going forward. Nick (talk) 09:57, 30 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Could someone decline this, but copy/paste all threads to new archive Archive 6? PokestarFan (talk) 12:03, 1 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

No. Unblock requests are only to be used to request an unblock. Yamla (talk) 13:32, 1 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I am perfectly capable of contributing good content. Can I please contribute like this?

Decline reason:

Until you stop socking, no. No you cannot. You could take the standard offer in walking away from Wikipedia completely for 6-12 months, no edits, no socking, nothing. Give that amount of time, your unblock request may be given more of a chance. Right now however, as you continue to sock that won't happen. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:36, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Recently, you socked as GoodOne2017. If I would be an admin here, I will speedy decline this request. Come on PokestarFan, take a break from editing. That's only your chance to continue editing here. Pokéfan95 (talk) 10:12, 5 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Good evening. I have taken the time necessary to figure out what I had done to lead to the block and what I should do moving forward in order to contribute positively to this wiki.

  1. I realize that I thought Wikipedia was a fun way to make my own page, since I originally did not have any experience in HTML, CSS, or even making my own webpage. Now that I have grown up from that point in life, and figured out how to do that on a platform which is truly designed for that type of content. Additionally, I will try my best to declutter my userspace and clean up the bloat that I created.
  2. I realize that I would make vague unblock requests which basically centered around the fact that I had waited a period of time that I thought was sufficient for a re-examination of the block (usually 6 months to a year). I have decided to come back to Wikipedia now, when I intend to put my best and only my best into editing.
  3. I realize that making alternate accounts to get past my editing ban, even to make harmless and/or beneficial edits, is wrong and dishonest, and that I should have waited to contribute to Wikipedia as a whole and not about a certain topic. I will no longer think about creating sockpuppet accounts, and I am proud to say that I have gone sockpuppet-free since the last sockpuppet incident.
  4. I want to use both the Standard Offer and the Second Chance.

You've edited as an IP. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:02, 24 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

@NinjaRobotPirate could you please provide proof that I was editing as an IP? The only thing that comes to mind is a few harmless edits I made as an IP because I had forgotten that I was permanently blocked on this account. I also have not committed any vandalism ever as an IP after the last period. PokestarFan (talk) 23:58, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

My previous unblock request was denied due to accusations of sockpuppetry, yet I do not recall intentionally socking on Wikipedia. I have asked for evidence yet have never received any evidence. I would like to be unblocked based on my knowledge and intentions of my actions. If there is any evidence showing that I have intentionally socked on Wikipedia, I would like to be able to see it.

Decline reason:

You don't recall "intentionally socking"? Combined with the admission in your previous unblock that at one point you forgot you were blocked and edited from an IP, I have no confidence you won't be tempted to do this again, and since we have given you three chances since we restored your talk page access, as polite as you have been about it I think we have no choice now but revoke it again so you can appeal through UTRS. -Daniel Case (talk) 02:08, 27 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
