Request reason:

I use a VPN and the system thinks I'm a bot probably. I have begun to turn it off when contributing to Wikipedia. This was definitely and error.:(Sebastian Da Silva (talk) 04:41, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline as there is no direct block on this account to lift. You might also consider going to WP:IPECPROXY and asking for IP block exemption per the instructions there. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:30, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed that you were adding short descriptions that got reverted. Please consider Template:Short description#Usage. That template is not intended for summaries, but for terse descriptions of about 40 characters to, for instance, distinguish similar terms in a list of search results. —Ost (talk) 01:48, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!!!! How do I make the side bar table like on almost all Wikipedia pages? Sebastian Da Silva (talk) 02:32, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just read your comment. I'll read more before contributing more. Sebastian Da Silva (talk) 02:35, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that you are referring to is what Wikipedia calls an infobox. Help:Infobox#Adding an infobox to an article explains how to add one, which involves finding the appropriate specific infobox template (e.g., {{infobox settlement}}) and then adding it to an article.

As an aditional tip for communication on Wikipedia, users get notifications for comments on their own talk page, but they do not get notifications when someone responds to them on a page that is not their talk page. In those instances when you want to make sure someone sees your response or question, you can use {{ping}} to notify them. —Ost (talk) 20:24, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A few pointers about your recent edits to GrapheneOS:

Videos from YouTube are user-generated and therefore typically unreliable for statements of fact made there within. When referencing in the reception section of articles, it's good practice to summarize what those sources say: why it he believes its better than any other mobile OS [sic] lacks that summarization for the Wikipedian reader. I've also removed The Hated One's video as a reference for now, because self-published, user-generated sources are "generally unacceptable"; 2020 consensus from Wikipedia editors has also established YouTube as "generally unreliable", due to videos being frequently self-published and from anonymous authors with varying reliability and editorial policies (WP:RSPYT). and there was no indication the author is a subject-matter expert; it's debatable if it's suitable for biased statements of opinion, like in this reception section. Per Wikipedia:Video links, there is no blanket ban on linking to those sources, but they should be carefully and individually evaluated for inclusion (thus my suggestion what you would like to summarize with said reference, with a neutral point of view and critical evaluation).
Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), prefer "Support status" instead of "Support Status" for capitalization.
You can re-use references to avoid reference duplication. See my edit Special:Diff/1099547697 for an example with the source editor; in the Visual Editor, see Help:VisualEditor#Re-using an existing reference for how to do this.
Per Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources policies, when possible, it's preferable to cite what independent, secondary/third-party sources say about the subject. I've personally avoided adding statements cited to the official website of GrapheneOS as much as possible.
Wikipedia:Short description § Formatting defines the format for short descriptions. Since the new "short description" exceeded the 40 characters guideline (was 83 characters), I've restored the former short description (37 characters). Short descriptions should also not end in a final full stop.

Anyway, welcome, and hope this is useful for your future edits. 84.250.14.116 (talk) 10:53, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For statements that may quickly become dated (such as the "supported devices" table), it's preferable to use precise language for dated statements such as "as of 21 July 2022". Refer to Wikipedia:As of; you can find an example of an improvement to your edit at Special:Diff/1099548169. 84.250.14.116 (talk) 11:06, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've also found the "endoflife.date" website you've cited as user-generated, so it may be unreliable and inappropriate as a reference. Consider citing more reliable sources when available (sources about self). Contentious references and statements may be removed. 84.250.14.116 (talk) 11:15, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all the help! I'll re-read the Wikipedia rules. Sebastian Da Silva (talk) 00:06, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! How do I make a sidebar like on almost all Wikipedia articles?
