December 2012

Hello, I'm Darkness Shines. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, White privilege, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:18, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Richard Girnt Butler. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Darkness Shines (talk) 08:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I vandalize once unknowingly and get blocked?! If this is how you treat new editors then it's a wonder anybody stays on this site. Afrikan Liberationist (talk) 17:39, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can of course be unblocked as soon as you acknowledge that you have understood why your previous editing was unacceptable and how you intend to edit constructively in the future. Your edits, together with your user name, rather clearly indicate that you have been here to push an ideological agenda, so you will really have to change your whole approach to editing here if you want to become a constructive member of this project.

Decline reason:

This is not a username block. And with responses like this, I don't see any chance that you will be getting unblocked any time soon. — Daniel Case (talk) 20:01, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand my previous actions did not meet the standards of this website. I will not engage in further point-of-view-pushing behaviors. Afrikan Liberationist (talk) 19:18, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new. I didn't understand at first that what I did was considered vandalism. I understand that now. I found something that might apply here, WP:DNB. Not sure how to link to it, but it cautions against being hostile to new users, and I really am feeling some hostility right now. I recognize that I made a mistake. What does it take to rectify that mistake? Afrikan Liberationist (talk) 20:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

As I've tried to say before, I was unfamiliar with the rules when I began editing here. I understand them now and will not break them again. What do I have to do to prove this to you? Afrikan Liberationist (talk) 20:27, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The first thing you can do is to concede that calling anyone a racist idiot is not acceptable here. The person in question may have views which you see as unacceptable, and many people would agree with you, but this is not the forum in which to make the point. Are you able to accept that this encyclopedia will not tolerate any articles expressing a point of view? and will you also read living persons biography policy? --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 20:42, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Note to admins

This guy did not commit a BLP vio with the "racist idiot" edit, that guy is dead, which is in fact a good thing, he was a wanker. You need to read BITE, cut this newb some slack let him read the rules and give another chance. Darkness Shines (talk) 23:19, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
