Darin Fidika,

I am convinced that you do not understand our copyright policy, or that you refuse to comply with it. You have had many, many chances to change your ways, and you have not done so. That is why you are banned from editing Wikipedia, not just under the account "Darin Fidika," but under any name at all. Please find some other outlet for your interests in manga/anime.

FreplySpang, I would like it if you could explain to me the original copyright policy of Wikipedia, since I believe that it never noted to ban the member account that created an article with only one source. I would ask it if you could try to understand this issue and explain it to other administrators because ignoring logic and rationality should not be a method employed by a member, even so speaking of an administrator. Please, once again, look into this issue.

The point is: "Changing a few words around and adding a couple extra pieces of information per article is not enough to keep you from plagiarizing," as Nihonjoe explained to you more than a month ago ([1]). Persistent copyright violations most certainly are grounds for blocking: [2]. If you don't see how you have been violating copyright, then we can't trust you to stop doing it.

Hello my fellow Wikipedian. You seem not to grasp the current situation--it was already decided long ago that I wasn't to be banned (by NihonJoe himself) in the Samurai-Article "plagiarism incident". Recently however I have been banned merely because I stupidely forgot to mark the copyright-property of a few images I uploaded. I apologize for this, and will take better care in the future to make sure I fill in all the drop-down-menus when uploading images in the future. This is why I would like to be unbanned. Please check my recent history of edits and page-creations and see for yourself that they are not copyright-violations of any sort. I feel that my positive contributions to Wikipedia far outweight the errors I have made in the past.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
