Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Your recent category edits have been in violation of our guideline about ghettoising categories of people. Also, it's highly suspicious that you've suddenly started doing this sort of thing. To be unblocked you'd need a convincing explanation of your editing pattern. I've mass-reverted your edits. Graham87 (talk) 17:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87 Hmm... What's wrong with WP:DIFFUSE?.. Long Island Expressway (talk) 18:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Amanda Filipacchi#Wikipedia op-ed for the controversy doing this by gender can cause. Your response only invites further suspicion. Graham87 (talk) 18:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87

I had no idea about any of this, to be honest. I was pretty sure that an article shouldn't be included in a category and its subcategory at the same time. I've even seen people get their edits rolled back if they add an article to a more general category when it's already included in its subcategory...

Can I be unblocked? I won't touch gender categories if it's such a delicate thing. Long Island Expressway (talk) 18:39, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, unblocked, for one more chance. If you want to make mass changes again, please check very carefully by asking at a relevant page first (e.g. Wikipedia talk:Categorization in this case). Graham87 (talk) 18:44, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thank you. You can rest assured that I'll double-check such a thing next time. Long Island Expressway (talk) 18:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Népsziget (September 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 98Tigerius was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Népsziget and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
