Hello, I'm Wiiformii. I noticed that you recently removed content from Egg punk without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Sorry, the only thing I removed was me accidentally adding sources that were already in the article, if that was an issue yes please feel free to restore these changes. 79.79.80.252 (talk) 15:31, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Industrial rock. Block evasion by User:Aradicus77. Binksternet (talk) 01:28, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for block evasion.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Drmies (talk) 02:26, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Your reason here Hi, I'm not sure what is going on. Spent the last few days trying to respectfully edit as a new user, some pages that have been under sourced or aren't really that well written. I started talk pages and kept asking questions if there were any problems with my edits and if anything needed to be amended, after being congratulated on pages like noise rock and industrial rock. I'm now finding that all my edits are being reverted and removed without question, and I'm being accused of being a banned user. I'm editing on school wifi right now, so the issue might be that I share the same wifi as a banned user as Wikipedia usually bans users who have done something wrong on school wifi, which leaves them without editing permissions for any computer in the whole school. I'm trying to resolve this issue by adhering to the rules of the site, but I'm struggling since I don't know the ins-and-outs of it all, anything that I've done wrong, I will amend. Thank you for your interest. 79.79.80.252 (talk) 02:28, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You'll need to explain why you are editing about the same topics as a blocked user if you aren't that user- editing from the same school WiFi doesn't explain your choices of what to edit. 331dot (talk) 07:56, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

So a blocked user now owns the universal topics of noise rock and industrial? how does that make any sense, this is just completely uncalled for, and with no reaosn whatsoever. This is why people call Wikipedia biased, because there's no way of defending yourself, you get blocked without reason, and then have to read a whole assortment of rules to even counteract it and even if you do there's no point, admins will have the final word.

You are free to make a new request for someone else to review. Your way of defending yourself is here, now. You don't necessarily have to read a single rule, but you have to understand the ones pointed out to you and use common sense. This isn't the wild west. There is a reason for the block, it's not no reason. As I said, please explain why you are making the same edits as a blocked user if you are not that user. It's not just a matter of the same topic area. 331dot (talk) 15:55, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'm good. I've been researching and found that many people online have had issues with users such as Binksternet (real name Michael Knowles) and Drmies for longer than I've even been alive! That is absolutely insane, and I don't want to waste my life on this site like you guys have done. I've even seen Binksternet remove edits from another IP address and accuse it of being a sockpuppet on these articles, as if no one is allowed to edit these fringe articles. Someone even wrote a post saying he left Wikipedia five years ago, and Binksternet is still banning IPs thinking it's him! Wikipedia is also written by 1% of the total user base and has gotten worse and worse, with new editors leaving just like I'm about to do now because of these issues. I don't want to throw any ad hominems, but everything I've said should probably let you all know where I and many others stand on this topic. If you want to keep your editor Gestapo going, then so be it.

I also figured out that I could check the views on these pages and found that many of them don't even get more than 20k views per month, which makes it even more bizarre. Basically, people are editing and holding onto pages that barely anyone even sees. You could make a video on Instagram or TikTok on these genres that gets more reach than this. School was right; Wikipedia is biased and unreliable. Goodbye.

Yes, school was correct- Wikipedia does not claim to be unbiased and reliable, and it should not be used for scholarly or academic purposes. It's a content aggregator for lay people, who should examine the sources provided for themselves when determining factors like bias to decide what they believe. Sorry to see you go. 331dot (talk) 20:02, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, in order for someone who left 5 years ago to know that IPs were being blocked to stop them, they would- you know- have to be here to see it- meaning they haven't left. Just FYI. 331dot (talk) 20:07, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I mean you still get notifications when you go on articles, just like I've gotten right now when clicking on the caesar salad page, only for the top to show me a notification for a reply to this thread here. And the claim about wikipedia not claiming to be unbiased is false Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Everything I've mentioned means you all are failing to meet this policy. 79.79.80.252 (talk) 20:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral point of view has absolutely nothing to do with bias. All sources have biases; Wikipedia's goal is to present those sources neutrally, not to obscure bias, an impossible task. 331dot (talk) 20:56, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
