This blocked user is asking that their block be reviewed on the Unblock Ticket Request System:

DavidYork71 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

UTRS appeal #21299 was submitted on Apr 22, 2018 04:20:57. This review is now closed.


The UTRS bot failed to add this notification, presumably because this page was protected at the time, so I have added it manually. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:04, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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:

Apologise for past transgressions & request unblock. It's been 11 years+. Time's come. See the UTRS appeal #21299 of 22 April this year where more detail was supplied. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidYork71 (talk • contribs) 01:31, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your appeal has been declined - see here. I have also revoked your talk page access again. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:05, 30 April 2018 (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.

    • [The sockpuppet investigations] were ceased in 2015 noting those themselves were confused with the actions of a user "Timothy P Graham". I really don't have a means to recapitulate what I put in the UTRS request because I wrote it there once and entrusted it to you, so since you have it my request is to share it to the appropriate audience and allow it into consideration. I hope it is not being suggested that best reason for keeping me off the project for decades more is some sort of motivation to maintain fairness to New Zealanders, because I challenge you to prove how it is that I may not have been.— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])
  • I have copied the UTRS contents below. If there is anything you want to add to the WP:AN discussion, please post it here with a request to copy it across. Finally, please remember to sign your comments with "~~~~". Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:58, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Last stealth editing was on ‘Australia-nz relations’ & ‘mumia abu-jamal’, years ago in each case. Can’t see how the content I supplied in either case was “controversial”. Again, challenging for proof — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.17.79.70 (talk) 19:54, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS appeal 21299

[edit]

As I have your permission to do so, here is the content of your UTRS appeal...

  • Why do you believe you should be unblocked?
It's from more than 11 years ago.
Apologising for past transgressions, requesting unblock/unban
  • If you are unblocked, what articles do you intend to edit?
Those I started as a user (Terrorism in Australia, Statelessness Status Convention, Australia-Indonesia Prisoner Exchange Agreement, etc)
Mumia Abu-Jamal, which I sponsored through Good Article, A-Class article and into Featured Article Status
Australia-New Zealand relations
And doing Good Article reviews, which I formerly did a number of
  • Why do you think there is a block currently affecting you? If you believe it's in error, tell us how.
It is a result of community ban occurring in April 2007: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Community_sanction/Archive7#Community_patience_ban_for_DavidYork71
  • Is there anything else you would like us to consider when reviewing your block?
No sockpuppeting cases/allegations for many years now.
At the time of the ban 11 years ago, User:Tom Harrison said "Maybe in a year or so it can be revisited, if he asks and convinces someone he is no longer looking for a soapbox and wants to help write an encyclopedia". Regarding that criteria have regard to the observations by critics at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Australia%E2%80%93New_Zealand_relations#Good_Article that "he has positively contributed a great deal to this article", "I noticed some good changes from a quick glance. Is there anything stopping a good faith, knowledge editor [..] going through and individually re-adding any they feel are warranted'" and "Are the edits good enough to WP:IAR and allow some of the [User:DavidYork71] reverted edits (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australia%E2%80%93New_Zealand_relations&action=historysubmit&diff=475357509&oldid=475182943) to remain in the article? Not too bothered about the minor wikilinking, but there are some substantial referenced sections there"

I shall notify the WP:AN discussion that this update is here. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:43, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your appeal has been declined. --NeilN talk to me 00:33, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most recent sock-puppet?

[edit]

As I said in the AN thread, I'd like a direct statement as to when your most recent Wikipedia editing was (particularly on Australia-related topics) before I'm willing to support an unblock. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
