Welcome RcAlex36!
I'm Walter Görlitz, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.
There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Please un-permablock me from Wiktionary (copied from User talk:Chuck Entz)
editHello, I, Mr. Shāntián Tàiláng, want thee to know I'm very deeply sorry about evading my Wiktionary block (both last week and this week). The first time (October 26) I thought I'd be able to get away with it because way back in January 2019 when I was first blocked from Wiktionary, I evaded that block and nobody ever noticed (I believe it might have been because none of the anonymous edits I made at that time were disruptive). The second time (November 1), I thought that I wouldn't get blocked because I was trying my best to refrain from making disruptive edits.
If I had a time machine, I would go back to before thou and the other editors blocked me (say, October 20th) and create, say, 肝腦塗地 and 德薄 and 不留 as they exist today (November 2nd), so that your younger selves would no longer need to block me, let alone permablock me.
And I'm sorry about the pinging as well―I was worried that thou and the others might be ignoring my pleading because of you (or at least RcAlex36) apparently thinking of me as incorrigible. I never thought I'd get blocked from editing my Wiktionary talk page. (See, ye never actually said, "Please stop pinging us, or else we will make you unable to edit your own talk page.")
And I'm sorry for Eirikr―please tell him and Justin that I just wanted a few more chances to...prove I wasn't entirely disruptive, and I now realize I blew those chances as well. If any of ye ever unblock me on Wiktionary, I tell you, I will not do any hasty Japanese name-creation edits again (as I did on October 28), and I won't do any disruptive Chinese entry creation edits either (as I foolishly did on October 26).
Again, if I could mentally time-travel to October 26, I would wait out the block and avoid doing all those disruptive edits and block evasions so that ye wouldn't end up wasting your time cleaning up my bad edits with a mop and a shovel. I'm telling you the truth, the whole truth, and absolutely nothing but the truth.
So please don't assume that I'm beyond help and/or don't have any self-restraint because of the horrible mistakes I've made.
Isn't that just as bad as my sloppy creation of 德薄 where I assumed it was a noun (not an adjective) and gave it the wrong meaning??
Or my edits that I did using IP addresses 158.106.52.10 & 71.246.146.76 because I thought that not being disruptive would give me a pass this time? (I realize I was mistaken about the definition of the first etymology of 不留 as well; I did not know Yellowbridge wasn't reliable.)
(And regarding self-restraint, I would never even try to create sockpuppet accounts like Angela Criss did.) Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 15:37, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- And by the way, I really need to link 握り締める to and from its component words 握り and 締める. I also need to link 一時的 & 一時 to each other, as the former is derived from the latter (in Japanese); there's お手伝いさん that needs an etymology as well—it's from 手伝い, which is in turn derived from 手伝う. (I ask because I found them all mentioned in this file's description that was pulled from Flickr.)
Speaking of which, you do NOT have to completely remove the block for me to be happy. Just remove the permablock and allow me to edit my own talk page again. I promise I will wait out my block THIS time if you remove the permablock. Cheers. Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 15:48, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

- In addition, I need to add Category:ja:Mythology to 伝説, and Category:zh:Hair to 髯, and the zh-forms of 一絲一毫 and 一絲不掛 needs "|type=211" added. The latter entry also should link to "stark naked" instead of to "stark" and "naked", and worse, meseems that English stark naked has "likely" misspelled as "likelily". German fasernackt also needs its etymology added (yes, I know it's from Faser + nackt, the same applies to splitternackt from Splitter, so splitterfasernackt is also equivalent to Splitter + Faser + nackt). Just giving you a heads-up. See, I am NOT someone who "simply cannot be reasoned with and [is] beyond help" (or redemption, either!). Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 17:22, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
