User talk:Wikihelper751

January 2017

Hello, I'm McGeddon. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Chess.com, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! McGeddon (talk) 19:31, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:V, "any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged" should include a citation. --McGeddon (talk) 19:40, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I'm sure you can see I am editing from London and am not using any kind of proxy so how you can claim I am macer75 on the other side of the world... Yes, I made a few bad edits and am very sorry but only did it a couple of times and am friends with some other people via chess.com who did worse. Please unblock me and I promise only to make useful contributions in future.

Decline reason:

I don't have the ability to see your IP address (only those with Checkuser rights can do that), but there are many ways to edit from different geolocations. If you make a new request, at the minimum I'd say you need to provide a convincing explanation for this. And out of interest, how do you know where User:Macer75 is?

Request reason:

Well, I'm kinda friends with macer75 through chess.com and he encouraged me to edit the chess.com page. I can email a screenshot of the private forum he created there if it helps, and ask him to not make stupid edits anymore. I know he lives somewhere in the US, nothing more specific

Decline reason:

I don't see a single constructive edit in your contributions, in this situation I see no point in trying to figure out whether you're a sockpuppet, or a meatpuppet, or whatever. I believe that this account is better off blocked. Max Semenik (talk) 00:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I offered to help by asking the original vandaliser to stop, considering I know him well. You just seem to want to make the problem worse. Wikihelper751

How on earth was this edit in any way helpful?!? --Yamla (talk) 19:33, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I said I was sorry. If you followed Wikipedia policy as you should, it says to give more chances if the user recognises it was disruptive and agrees not to do again. - Wikihelper751

Well, are you going to unblock me please?. As I say I'm sorry for making that bad edit on chess.com page changing the link to someone very well known, who has made 17,000 posts in chess.com, and it's clear that I am not him. Please lift the ban and I promise to make helpful contributions. Bans aren't meant to be as punishments and you can watch me as closely as you like. - Wikihelper751

This is Macer75 here. I did not encourage anyone to edit the chess.com page; in fact, in the private forum I specifically told people not to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LenaDunhamFan (talk • contribs) 22:03, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
