You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent copyright infringements. You have received a very large number of warnings about this, on the talk pages of two accounts, over a period of seven years, but you have ignored the warnings, your only response to them being to remove them from your talk pages, and continue infringing copyright. Several times you have been warned that continuing in the same way would be likely to lead to being blocked, and you should have been blocked years ago. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. In place of "Your reason here", give your reason why you think you should be unblocked. That reason should be such as to persuade the administrator who reviews your unblock request that you understand the reason for the block, and will not continue to infringe copyright.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

original unblock reason

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. 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

understand what you have been blocked for,
will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. OhNoitsJamie 02:26, 1 December 2015 (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.

Your unblock template is incomplete. When you complete it, by including a reason as to why we should unblock you, you will need to explain, in detail, your understanding of copyright policy as it applies within Misplaced Pages, and also explain why you ignored the multiple messages regarding your copyright violations posted on this page. --Anthony Bradbury 22:13, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:

Request reason:

I understand what you have been blocked for copyright. I will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and will make useful contributions instead. I am a track and field certified coach and official. Misplaced Pages is one voice for the general public to find track and field athletes and events. I hope to contribute to the sport of Track and Field through youth encouragement, mentoring new officials and broadcasting exciting events that happen when people set goals, dedicate the ambitions in their lives, seeks guidance and support and achieve those goals. Track and Field is a unique vehicle where people can change their life. God bless.

Decline reason:

you will not be unblocked until you give satisfactory answers to the questions already put to you. Also note that if you blank this page again, about which you have already been warned, you will be prevented from editing here. --Anthony Bradbury 20:50, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

I have restored the previous declined unblock requests - as long as the block they refer to is in place they must remain present so reviewing admins have the full facts of the case. As for your comments here, I'll let the previous admins handle a review, but there are a few questions you can answer that will help them greatly - do you understand the copyright policy of Misplaced Pages? Do you understand that Misplaced Pages is not for promotion or advertising of sporting events and is not a directory of past or upcoming events? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 14:19, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

"Misplaced Pages is one voice for the general public to find track and field athletes and events" - that suggests to me that you see Misplaced Pages as a marketing tool. Please understand that as well as not allowing copyright violations, Misplaced Pages does not allow advertising or promotion, even of charities and good causes.

Also, you have not made it clear that you understand the reason for your block, or explained in what ways your editing in future will differ from what you have done in the past. Unfortunately, experience shows that editors who just say things as general as "I will not continue to cause damage or disruption", very often do not actually understand the reason for the block, and if unblocked they are very likely to continue in the same way.
