Request reason:

  1. first reason: so the blocking reason is "i dont understand wp:agf".

    but in wikipedia or wikipedia talk namespace i didnt argue about my supposed misunderstanding of AGF in november. if there is any such problematic edit of mine, User:Valereee needs to give a diff as evidence.

    Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Purpose_and_goals: "Blocks should not be used: to retaliate; to disparage; to punish; or if there is no current conduct issue of concern."

    for example, all my Wikipedia talk edits are discussing the arbcom candidates and other topics https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=RZuo&namespace=5, nothing about AGF.

  2. second reason: Wikipedia:Administrators#Involved_admins: "editors should not act as administrators in disputes in which they have been involved."

    i disputed Valereee's claim that i assumed bad faith, and her understanding of Wikipedia:Assume good faith, then i was blocked.

  3. third reason: by blocking me from editing wikipedia and wikipedia talk ns, i am deprived of the chance to go thru Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution#Noticeboards_2 and ask for help. Dispute resolution by asking other users to mediate is something User:Valereee as an involved sysop should also have done.--RZuo (talk) 13:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

i didnt do what User:Valereee accuses me of: "assuming bad faith", because: #User:Valereee thinks i keep "assuming bad faith" for edits like Special:Diff/1165390786 ("there was no argument for why nyt was preferred over other news agencies to justify that edit.").

Valereee's edit"habit of assuming bad faith...here" #Wikipedia:Assume good faith: "Nor does assuming good faith prohibit discussion and criticism... Rather, editors should not attribute the actions being criticized to malice unless there is specific evidence of such." #all the accusations Valereee makes against me can be summarised as: ##User:Enterprisey said "I don't know for sure, but I vaguely recall that it might've been because AfC wanted it for their submission template, because they were already linking to a NYT search." https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)&diff=prev&oldid=1173631241 . ##i said, there was no discussion/consensus that led to the earliest addition of nyt in "find sources" templates and modules (without any reference to User:Enterprisey's name or his conduct). (the earliest addition https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Template:Find_sources_3&diff=prev&oldid=217157307 , by a different user in 2008, predating User:Enterprisey's 2016 edit. so what i said, is not even exactly related to what User:Enterprisey said.) ##Valereee thinks, i am accusing User:Enterprisey of bad faith by saying something different from User:Enterprisey. #disagreeing with another user, is not assuming bad faith of that user.

disagreeing with another user, is not "attributing the actions being criticized to malice".

in fact, disagreeing with another user doesnt claim anything about that user's intention or conduct at all. #quoting User:Czar from Wikipedia_talk:Assume_good_faith#Title_misinterpretation: "Assumption of good faith" is often interpreted, especially by those new to it, as similar to a "blind faith". Most importantly with something like, "I do not have access to the source so I 'assume good faith'", even though that's not how it's meant to be applied.

  1. in other words, "Assumption of good faith" does not mean that, users' claims (even if without evidence) are accepted unconditionally.
(otherwise, why does for example Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents ask "Include diffs"? anyone makes a claim without diffs, then by Valereee's logic you should automatically "assume good faith" and believe any claim is true.) :i explained to the accuser four times why my edits made no judgement against other users nor other users' motives https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Valereee&oldid=1187094370#sectioning . :yet my attempt to communicate not only failed but also got myself a block and a declined unblock.--RZuo (talk) 3:53 pm, 29 November 2023, Wednesday (1 month, 8 days ago) (UTC−5)

Decline reason:

Clearly you do not understand why you were blocked. Clearly, you are still editing in a tendentious manner, and clearly you have not addressed the reasons for your block. You might want to reread someof the comments you blanked and maybe that would help you understand. Please concisely and clearly tell us why you were blocked and what you would do differently.. And please, no illustrative allusions. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

lol, the situation in which i am blocked for, is exactly discussed by User:Czar and User:WhatamIdoing https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Assume_good_faith&oldid=1174593776#Title_misinterpretation .

and also User:Czar's Wikipedia_talk:Assume_good_faith/Archive_9#Faith_and_verification in 2016:

I have seen, on more than one occasion, an editor citing "assume good faith" when another reader asks for help verifying a citation. This is to say that AGF—the behavioral guideline for assuming that others mean well and are not acting maliciously—is confused with simple "trust but verify" verification requests. So while we assume that editors add citations to the best of their ability (and mean well), AGF doesn't mean that we abdicate verifiability, especially when the editor has the source material...

— User:Czar

AGF should not extend to assuming any form of content is accurate without evidence.

i disagreed with a claim by another user. i asked for evidence to back up the disputed claim. and then i was said (notably by a third-party but not the supposed target of my action) to be not assuming good faith.🥴--RZuo (talk) 20:53, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

It says above that the block is "for WP:IDHT" (=not AGF). That usually means that you are not showing the community that you know How to Win Friends and Influence People, or to collaborate in a collegial project. If you want to get an IDHT block removed, you usually need to demonstrate Soft skills. Depending on what the underlying dispute was about, that might sound something like "I can see that my effort to help by ______ might have been upsetting because _______ and ________. In the future, I plan to _______ to avoid problems like this. I understand that it's more important for us to work together than for me to get what I think is best right away". Of course, now that I've spelled it out, it'll be about as convincing as a little child who's been told to say 'sorry' for bumping into a friend, but perhaps that will give you an idea for a relevant response.

it's "WP:IDHT after repeated explanations of what constitutes ABF..."
the accusing and blocking user thinks i fail to understand their interpretation of ABF/AGF (assuming bad/good faith), but their interpretation is plain wrong. my 4 attempts to explain to them becomes "IDHT" aka "Failure or refusal to "get the point"", "the point" being their wrong interpretation of ABF/AGF.
am i the 1st person to notice this misinterpretation of AGF ("AGF = accepting claims without evidence")? no, you, Czar, Alextejthompson already said the same thing.
will i be the last victim of these sysops' misinterpretations? answer looks like "no" too.--RZuo (talk) 21:54, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
"In the future, I plan to _______ to avoid problems like this."
towards this misinterpretation and the resultant accusation, my initial strategy had been to ignore and avoid argument, then i got threatened with blocking, so i explained, then i got blocked. i say nothing? block. i say something? block.
i argue after i get blocked? soon i will be blocked further for "battleground". a million ways to get blocked.
the only recourse i can see, is Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution#Noticeboards_2, but i have already been preemptively blocked from all those pages.
i'm not concerned at all, after all, ja:wikt:悪事千里を走る "bad news travels fast". :) --RZuo (talk) 21:54, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
RZuo, dispute resolution isn't where you'd need to take this, as it isn't a content dispute. You can take it to WP:XRV or to WP:AN. I or anyone else can post your appeal to one of those places; ping me if you'd like me to do that. Valereee (talk) 22:08, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
