Discretionary sanctions alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at WP:AN, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. OhKayeSierra (talk) 12:29, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

The good reason to unblock me is that I was just making a joke. I didn't know humour was against Misplaced Pages rules. It won't happen again, I promise. I will try to be professional from now on. EarlWhitehall (talk) 12:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Only because the sun is shining will I refrain from blocking you indefinitely. Instead, I'll revoke your talk page access. Use the next two days to think about your approach to editing. Favonian (talk) 13:01, 28 February 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.

• Followed up by this, too. Misplaced Pages has a civility policy. If you post any similar "jokes" or other rudeness on this page, your access to editing it will be revoked. Bishonen | tålk 12:35, 28 February 2020 (UTC).

@Bishonen: Okay, whatever. Now leave. Go read some yaoi or something.

(edit conflict × 2) A bit of advice for you: saying "I was only joking" as your unblock reason and then attacking the admin that blocked you is all but certain to cause your unblock request to get rejected by the reviewing admin. I suggest that you withdraw your personal attack at Bishonen and read over our guidelines for appealing blocks to draft a request that stands a better chance at getting you unblocked. I will also mention that it is fortunate that you were only blocked for 48 hours by Bishonen. Typically, personal attacks such as the ones that you made on WP:AN would cause an indefinite block.

@OhKayeSierra: I am eternally grateful for her magnanimity. EarlWhitehall (talk) 12:53, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Lovely, I'm sure that'll get you unblocked. You don't get to tell me to leave. Actual humour is not against the rules. I did not acknowledge your "joke"; I put scare quotes round the word, to indicate that you called your post here a joke. Which you did in this insulting post. But an uninvolved admin will come and review your unblock request. Bishonen | tålk 12:54, 28 February 2020 (UTC).

@Bishonen: How could you treat a fellow anime fan this way? Don't we face enough persecution from the outside world? Why has it come to this – anime fan oppressing anime fan... I just want a world where weebs can live in peace. I know you want the same, so please put in a good word for me with the impartial admin. EarlWhitehall (talk) 12:58, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

What..?

Hello. You pasted in a great big chunk at AN which doubled text that was already there. What happened? I will assume it was probably a mistake. See . Bishonen | tålk 17:24, 1 March 2020 (UTC).

Maybe they were trying to resolve an edit conflict and didn't understand how? Nil Einne (talk) 12:27, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

@Bishonnen: It was probably a mistake. Not sure what happened. Sorry.

Anyway, DrL is up to her old tricks again. She and Johhnnyliu have been vandalising the Chris Langan page. GorrillaWarfare edited that page a few days ago, and it was voted by admins that her version of the article should remain. Can you look into this? Thanks.
