Sources

A reliable article is build on sources. Just pointing to another article is not sufficient. The Banner talk 15:45, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You might do grumpy about it, but the title is nowhere mentioned in the article, only in the infobox. The Banner talk 19:41, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- Wingedsubmariner (talk) 15:52, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello! My account is HistoricallyAccurate. I do not know if this is the correct email to write to, but I have a problem. As you probably already know, I have been banned from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent vandalism. According to my talk page, the infracting edit in question was the addition of '(Self-Proclaimed)' at the end of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi's title in his infobox. If you can imagine an infobox below, it read like this: "Caliph of the Islamic State
(Self-Proclaimed)" In the explanation of the edit, I admit my wording in which I explain the edit made it seem sketchy, unconstructive, and pointless, but hear me out. To fully explain the situation (which I am about to do now) would've been too long, so I ended up writing something along these lines: 'Adding 'Self-Proclaimed' to Al-Baghdadi's infobox, as I promised in my last edit of Abdullah Qardash's page.' You See, I had previously added a title to Abdullah Qardash's page, 'Suspected Caliph of the Islamic State,' which someone else then changed to 'Suspected Leader of the Islamic State.' I understand the reason for this change, as ISIS' claims to a caliphate are fraudulent, and it's also generally respectful to muslims to NOT call such an evil man 'caliph,' but I wanted to use the official title that he used. To compromise and avoid an edit war, I added '(Self-Proclaimed)' To the end of his title. After this, I then remembered that Al-Baghdadi's page DIDN'T say 'Self-Proclaimed' like Abdullah's, so I added it there too, if only for the sake of consistency. In fact, even the actual page for ISIS itself refers to Al-Baghdadi as 'Leader, self-proclaimed Caliph.' What's more, Abdullah's title, which is identical to the infracting edit I made to Al-Baghdadi's page, still remains on his page as I am writing this now. It was fifteen minutes after editing Al-Baghdadi's page that I received a notification informing me of the report for vandalism. I read the report, then, wanting to make things right, I explained these points to the user who reported me, stating that I am not angry and that I think how he is making sure things are done right is commendable. I also said that if he thought '(self-proclaimed)' didn't belong in the infobox, then I would back off. However, I was unable to submit my response to his talk page because my account was locked minutes after I received the message (this, of course, wasn't his fault. I want to make sure you know I'm not trying to pin the blame on someone else). My edits on Abdullah Qardash's page have been well-received and I have been thanked for them by other editors. I would never dream of vandalizing Wikipedia. People depend on this website for so much information, and we as editors must do all that we can to make sure they get reliable, factual, unbiased information. Doing otherwise only hurts our community, which is arguably already messed-up as is. Vandalization not only denies people the information they expect us to give them, it also undoes the hard work of editors who come here in their free time to share their knowledge for free, and it is morally reprehensible for someone to vandalize such a community for nothing more than their own thrill. Thanks for your time. And if I am, in fact, in the wrong, I deeply apologize for what I have done. I really do want nothing more than the best for this website. HistoricallyAccurate

Decline reason:

Procedural decline as duplicate - see below appeal. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 22:43, 29 October 2019 (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.

I was just writing a clarification as to the block reason when I saw you appealed (I was made aware that you had questions). I thought that I should clarify that this block is in relation to your repeated replacement (vandalism) of Donald Trump's name as "Donald Drumpf". From what I gather above, you were warned about this. I then saw that, after the latest warning above, you did it again. It was at this point that I decided a block was necessary to prevent further disruption/vandalism to the project. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 22:30, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

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

Request reason:

I am so, absolutely sorry. I have a Chrome extension that changes 'Trump' to 'Drumpf.' When I dowloaded it, I initially thought it only changed it in, say, news articles. I thought it was funny. It must've changed all of the words saying 'Trump' to 'Drumpf' while I was in the editor. I really do apologize. This was not on purpose. I swear on my life that I wasn't even aware of it. I will remove the extension immediately.

Accept reason:

I am going to accept this appeal in good faith and assume it was an honest mistake as you say. I must admit that that is the first I have heard of that extension, thank you for making me aware of it. If you wish to use it on other websites, go ahead by all means...just please don't use it on Wikipedia as those changes are by definition vandalism, even if unintentional (we can't exactly determine intent). TheSandDoctor ^Talk 22:47, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the comments you most likely accidentally removed when posting your new unblock request. I have procedurally declined your first reason due to the second one you've posted. I will tend to your new appeal momentarily. As an etiquette thing, please don't remove comments of others. Thanks! --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 22:43, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocked

I have gone ahead and unblocked your account. You may now edit freely. Please be careful about that extension in the future and turn it off when editing Wikipedia. Thank you, TheSandDoctor ^Talk 22:50, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Shah dynasty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bhirkot (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Doug Weller talk 07:32, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A userpage draft you created has been moved

Hello HistoricallyAccurate, thanks for your contributions. A request was made to delete a userpage you created, for a user account which you also seem to have created, "HouseOfBetula-Gryfudd", back in 2019. The request was declined, but we can't figure out what the page is for. For now the page has been moved to User:HistoricallyAccurate/HouseOfBetula-Gryfudd. If you no longer want to keep the page you can tag it with {{db-author}} to request that it be deleted. Thanks. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 23:25, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
