| {{unblock reviewed | I was re-blocked originally for my deceitful behavior and nonchalant avoidance of a promise I made to the community as a condition of an early unblock request.

But I am not here now to make excuses for the behavior and give the “correct” combination of words to persuade you to unblock me.

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!
Greetings!
After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Misplaced Pages articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.
The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.
On English Misplaced Pages, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:
- Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
- Diversity winner
- Gender-gap fillers
For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

TheGracefulSlick (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I was re-blocked originally for my deceitful behavior and nonchalant avoidance of a promise I made to the community as a condition of an early unblock request. I dug myself in a deeper hole thereafter by avoiding the block with two sockpuppets. After the second sock, I came at a crossroads: make another sock or truly evaluate what put me in this position in the first place. I stopped trying to cast blame on others and pointed the finger back at myself. But I am not here now to make excuses for the behavior and give the “correct” combination of words to persuade you to unblock me. I was disrespectful, arrogant, immature, and a liar who treated consensus (and hence the editors who formed it) like nothing; I believed I was always in the right and ought to do what suited me, regardless of the words of editors much more experienced than me. I don’t want to be that type of person—a narcissistic, conceited jackass—nor do I want that to be my final mark here. Having been working in my first job, I have learned from real-world experience the value of honesty, of teamwork, and of respect for others. I would like to believe I have matured since then. The only way I see how I can demonstrate an actual change in my character is by asking for the opportunity here, with the understanding it will be a long road before I can rebuild anyone’s trust in me. If I am granted that opportunity, I intend to finally fulfill my original pledge (avoiding controversial topic areas and modern-day politics indefinitely), as well as any additional conditions made here, to demonstrate that I truly respect the judgement of others. I also hope to resume improving content on women and WWII biographies. This, with the understanding that any lapse should result in a site ban with no chance of re-entry into the project. As this may very likely be my final opportunity to address the community, I extend my apologies. I know for many my words probably hold no value, and I have no one to fault for that but myself.

Decline reason:
You must really think we're idiots. You already made this heartfelt apology last time you were unblocked. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:33, 8 January 2020 (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.
NinjaRobotPirate no I do not. If I am somehow calling you “idiots” for reflecting on what I did wrong, then I apologize. I wish for another admin to review this appeal and if they come to the same conclusion then I will reflect more on the errors I made.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
