User talk:Mclist

I am a software professional based in Auckland, New Zealand and part-time in Goiania, Brazil. My interests are topics on computing, software development, New Zealand politics and Brazilian insights as a 'first-language-English' ex-patriot.

Request reason:

I have made thoughtful contributions to Wikipedia and am blocked because I used a work PC

Decline reason:

No, you're blocked because, other than two edits, you've done nothing but promote Charles Proxy in the eleven years you've had an account, and then you created another account to do the same thing. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 22:48, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

No, I have no affiliation with Charles Proxy other than being a user for over 10 years and we have one of our offices in Auckland where the author is also from. I have nothing to gain from this other than improving Wikipedia. The use of 2 accounts from the one computer was a complete accident. At the office we saw a random tweet across the web asking why Charles doesn't have a wiki page when other less-renowned tools do, and our internal mediawiki had a wiki page from about 10 years ago which the team thought would make a good starting point. I haven't got into the Wikipedia editing until now, and I must say the whole experience has been incredibly unfriendly to a returning newb trying to contribute to the knowledge of the internet. It gave a bad taste in my mouth to be blocked and treated as some kind of miscreant for trying to help, and saddened given the donations I've made to wikipedia over the years as a reader, and now how I'm treated when I've tried to write on a subject I can actually contribute on. There is nothing malicious in this, I just want to extend knowledge - including what I felt was valuable information about an epic software tool that has saved countless hours of debugging for web developers across the internet, including my team.

Decline reason:

This is a procedural decline of this unblock request. The blocked user has not responded KrakatoaKatie's concerns in 2 weeks. If you do come back and can address these concerns, please file another request. Jayron 32 20:14, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am willing to give you a WP:CONDUNBLOCK if you agree to:
- accept a WP:topic ban on all subjects related to Charles Proxy, broadly construed
- accept a single account restriction (meaning that you will not be using any other user account except this one, ever). Vanjagenije (talk) 20:58, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mclist: Can you describe what kind of edits you intend to make if unblocked? Please, WP:sign your posts. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:37, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@KrakatoaKatie: What do you say about unblocking this user? Vanjagenije (talk) 13:37, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This explanation of the creation and editing from two accounts on the same machine as being a complete accident doesn't pass the laugh test. However, there were no other sleepers, and if he agrees to the unblock condition in a more detailed manner than 'sure' and gives an answer to your second question that meets your satisfaction, I have no objection to unblocking.
