Please refrain from using talk pages for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room.

Notice
[edit]
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

@GiantSnowman: I have only 1 account. This block is entirely unwarranted.
OldBolshevik (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I have been blocked today for making a suggestion on how to improve the neutrality of Wikipedia and for my efforts I have been blocked on entirely false grounds namely that I have multiple accounts. I do not.
I have looked at the reasoning and evidence of the accusers and it is apparent that it is based entirely upon circumstantial evidence and not actual evidence. Basically it revolves around the idea that I have vaguely made a similar argument to someone else who happens to have been blocked recently for abusing multiple accounts and therefore someone has it got in their head that I must be that person.
I am a victim of circumstance and most likely an attempt by others to censor me for my views. I am very disappointed at this entire process and how an innocent user can be blocked on a whim based entirely upon hearsay and speculation. It does not reflect well on this organisation.
Decline reason:
Perhaps you haven't used multiple accounts; however, in my opinion you seem to be WP:NOTHERE. Wikipedia is not a free speech forum. Just as you can determine what happens within the four walls of your residence, Wikipedia as a private entity can determine what happens on its computers. Your posts indicate that you have a political agenda and a lack of desire to collaborate with others. You have a grand total of one edit to article space(and it was reverted). If you want go stay in a conservative bubble and only read what you want to hear and what fits with your views, as opposed to summarizing independent reliable sources, yes, Wikipedia is not the place for you. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 13:10, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
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.
- Hello. I won't be the admin reviewing your block today. However, since I edited your userpage, I should point out for other admins reviewing the block my comment here. And btw, probably a good summary of this block is here. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:32, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
