Misplaced Pages

!a3oYzmN4fGhm7rA4ob (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I understand it appears that I am not here to build an encyclopedia, and that vandalism is not allowed. I understand what I changed is viewed as vandalism. It was never my intention to commit vandalism, and I never planned to commit said acts, but understand how it looked like that was my intention and that it lead to my blocking. As a reason for an unblock, I created this account for the purpose of working on a personal project in a sandbox with a friend. I was not attempting to commit vandalism, and did not realize that sandbox pages are subject to the same rules as normal pages, which is entirely my fault, and I accept responsibility for my negligence. I did not plan to edit any actual articles as of the time, and if I did would have done so with good intentions, I do not like vandalism either. I will not edit official pages or sandboxes in this way if I am unblocked, and will only make actual edits from then on. If you want conformation of the friend allowing editing, ask the owner of the sandbox that I attempted to edit. In my view, this block was a mistake, I had no reason or motivation to commit vandalism. I repeat that I was not attempting it either. However I understand if I just need to accept my punishment. !a3oYzmN4fGhm7rA4ob (talk) 21:34, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Misplaced Pages, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. — Voice of Clam (talk) 11:12, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

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.

What actual edits do you wish to make? 331dot (talk) 21:48, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

The edits made by !a3oYzmN4fGhm7rA4ob were actually fine, they were in my sandbox but it is a group project that I authorised. As far as I am concerned, !a3oYzmN4fGhm7rA4ob should be unblocked. Language_Boi (talk) 17:36, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

@331dot:

I wished to make a few edits, adding some entries and creating some possibly humorous descriptions for already existing and new entries. I already had permission from the owner to add, edit, and remove entries or descriptions from the sandbox, and was not attempting vandalism in any way. !a3oYzmN4fGhm7rA4ob (talk) 21:56, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Pages have no 'owners' here.

Edits like this, and this make me doubt you will contribute to the encyclopedia in a constructive manner.

In order to try and help you address this, 331dot has asked above what constructive edits you intend to make. Please be as specific as possible. SQL 20:10, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
