Unblock request
[edit]AllanCelikCraft (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
As Far as i can remember the reason for the block was because i made an article on either robux or roblox. It was extremely poorly made and grammar. Clearly your admins couldn't tell the difference between a kid in good fatih who had no idea how the site worked and an actual advertiser. If you actually try and understand it you'd see the person writing it was not very old. I don't want to edit on your garbage political shithole. All i want is an unblock so i can vanish my accountAllanCelikCraft (talk) 22:13, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Accounts are not unblocked to vanish, as doing so would allow users to evade sanctions and scrutiny. You are welcome to abandon your account. We don't know the identity of the person on the other end of the computer. Advertising isn't just done by professional advertisers. You were blocked four years ago; if you hadn't made this request, no one would have known. 331dot (talk) 23:59, 23 October 2024 (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.
You have access to the posts. My username has multiple data breaches tied to it which is why i want to vanish.
Plus if i wanted to evade sanctions i could’ve had just created a new account and nobody would have known. Read the "advertisement" that got me blocked and see for yourself. I made the article in good faith and i was very young at the time.
And it's Ironic how you have an Assume Good Faith UserBox when you don't.
- You can still ask for a vanishing, see WP:VANISH. It's not likely to be granted, but it's not impossible. We aren't responsible for the username you chose. Assuming good faith does not mean accepting things on blind faith. 331dot (talk) 11:55, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- I did not say you were evading sanctions or scrutiny, I said that was the reason for the policy. 331dot (talk) 11:57, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
Sorry if I seemed harsh in my last unblock request; it was not my intention. I am requesting an unblock. # Although I do not believe I was advertising, I can see why the blocking admin (Alexf) would think I was. At the time, I did not know how to use citations and edited on my user page because the page I was trying to edit was protected at the time. # As I was researching how to appeal a block, I saw that some pages (mainly livestreamers) such as IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, and others were missing some information I could have added. If I am unblocked, I plan on editing mainly WikiProject YouTube. # I was very young at the time; I didn't understand Wikipedia's policies or how to edit well, nor did I know how to format. Now that it's been 4 years, I believe I have improved drastically. Reasons why I should be unblocked: # I believe I deserve a second chance. # I believe I can improve areas of the encyclopedia, thus making it better. # I have taken the time to understand Wikipedia's guidelines and am committed to following them in future edits. I hope you consider my unblock request, and may you have a blessed day. AllanCelikCraft (talk) 07:22, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
= IShowSpeed
2022–present: Travel, shift to soccer-based content and WWE
In September 2022, Watkins played in the Sidemen Charity Match.[1] A clip of him went viral in which he became frustrated at English referee Mark Clattenburg for disallowing his goal to be offside, and in response, Watkins proceeded to whip him with the shirt he removed while celebrating, which resulted in him receiving a yellow card.[2]
In November 2022, American rapper and singer Lil Nas X appeared on Watkins' stream.[3] In the same month, Sky Sports announced that they would stop featuring him on their platform after the emergence of past misogynist and derogatory comments made by Watkins. The platform also removed all content featuring Watkins.[4][5] On November 16, 2022, he garnered controversy for allegedly doing a 'pump and dump scheme' cryptocurrency scam after he started a livestream promoting The Paradox Metaverse, an action-adventure game that awards players with Paradox Coin, a type of cryptocurrency.[6][7] The next day, he went live to address the controversy and apologized, saying "I do so much stuff for y'all, I made a mistake. I'm not that smart, I'ma be honest, I made a mistake that I wish I never did but I'm not a scammer."[8]
In December 2022, he won the Streamy Award in the "Breakout Streamer" category during the 12th Streamy Awards.[9] Throughout November and December 2022, he visited various soccer stadiums to try and watch Cristiano Ronaldo play live.

During the round of 16 match between Portugal and Switzerland, in December 2022, Watkins garnered controversy for his behavior toward a Chinese spectator of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which was interpreted by many as racist. During a live stream, he approached a man wearing an Argentina jersey to question him. Visibly confused, the man specified that he did not speak English, which prompted Watkins to start repeatedly hurling "Konnichiwa", a Japanese greeting, and start uttering sounds reminiscent of Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese. When a clip of the live stream started circulating online, he uploaded an apology video to his Twitter account.[12]
In January 2023, Watkins had a portrait of Cristiano Ronaldo tattooed on his arm.[13] On January 30, 2023, During a flight to Saudi Arabia Watkins X (Twitter) account was compromised by an insider who was promoting a cryptocurrency scam.[14]

Other content creators also discovered Adin Ross, one of his associates, was also behind the labels. Following this short, Watkins faced significant backlash from his community.[15][16]
In May 2023, Watkins announced he had signed an exclusive streaming deal with the video-sharing platform Rumble, in collaboration with Kai Cenat.[17] A month later, after many attempts, Watkins met Cristiano Ronaldo in the carpark of Estádio da Luz in Lisbon after Portugal's 3-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.[18]

Viewers uploaded the clip of the incident onto social media, and the term "IShowMeat", in reference to the slang word meat, meaning penis, began trending on Reddit and X (Twitter).[21] YouTube declined to strike his channel or ban him from the platform due to the accidental nature of the incident.[22]

While gesturing to them from a second-story window, he jumped and injured his ankle, but believed he broke it. Unable to walk, he was escorted out by one of his bodyguards, in which he was attacked by the crowd, with some of them pulling him by the hair and one jumping on top of his car.[34] He was later rushed to the hospital to have his ankle treated.[35] During the incident, the Norwegian Police Service refused to assist Watkins until he ended his stream.[36] He vowed never to return to Norway[37][deprecated source], but returned later that month.

Fanum (streamer)
[edit]Roberto Escanio (born August 22, 1997), better known online as Fanum, is a Dominican-American streamer and content creator. Fanum emerged online around 2016. He is known for being the originator of the vernacular "Fanum tax".[1][2] He won "Breakout Streamer of the Year" at the 13th Streamy Awards and the "Best Role Play Streamer" of the year award at the 2023 Streamer Awards.[3]
Early life
[edit]Fanum was born on August 22, 1997 in The Bronx, New York City to parents of Dominican descent. He has a younger brother who has appeared in his videos.[2] He speaks English and Spanish.[4] After graduating from high school in New York City, Fanum enrolled in college but left mid semester to focus on earning money for his YouTube equipment.[5]
Career
[edit]Fanum began streaming on Twitch in November 2016 and made his YouTube channel, JustFanum, in May 2017. He posted his first video in February 2019. He streamed NBA 2K and later expanded to IRL vlogs, which often drew upon his experiences in New York.[6][7]
On August 27, 2023 Fanum won "Breakout Streamer of the Year" at the 13th Streamy Awards.[8][9]
Fanum has been featured on the music video for Offset's September 2023 single "Fan" alongside Kai Cenat.[10][11]
In June 2024, Fanum appeared as a contestant in the Sidemen reality competition series Inside. The series features 10 guests who compete in challenges to secure a prize fund totalled at £1 million, with everything they buy or do costing money from the prize fund. He was in the show for seven days and finished in 4th place.[12][13]
In July 2024, during a Dominican Day Parade stream, the driver of Fanum's car was arrested at gunpoint by the NYPD. After the arrest, the NYPD drove off with the car. Photos then surfaced showing an NYPD officer posing next to the car and taking pictures, which led to Fanum threatening legal action.[14] [15]
In October 2024, Fanum participated in a Haunted House game hosted by MrBeast, alongside Logan Paul, xQc, IShowSpeed, and Lexi Rivera. During the game, while Logan Paul was playing the "Pick a Box" game, Fanum was punched in the head by Logan.[16]
In November 2024, Fanum participated in the Subathon hosted by Kai Cenat, Mafiathon 2, which broke the all-time record for the most concurrent subscribers.[17]
AMP Group
[edit]Fanum is an original and prominent member of the American content collective known as Any Means Possible or AMP. He contributes to the group's collaborative challenge videos. Fanum invited popular streamer Kai Cenat to the AMP group. In August 2023, Kai Cenat was arrested following a meet-and-greet he hosted with Fanum in Union Square Park that resulted in at least 2,000 people crowding the park. The event resulted in property destruction and several injuries. While no charges were placed against Fanum, Cenat was charged with inciting a riot.[6][18]

[edit]Fanum tax (/fæn.əm.tæks/ ) is an Internet slang term describing the theft of food between friends.[19]. The first usage of Fanum tax referred exclusively to Fanum, who jokingly "taxed" snacks by taking bites of food from fellow content creators during streams.[2] The term circulated among the YouTube collective AMP in late 2022 and was popularized especially during Fanum's Twitch streams with popular American YouTuber Kai Cenat, where Fanum would take Cenat’s cookies.[20] In an interview with Wired, Fanum defined the term as:
Let's say your friend having a meal, he's having a good meal, and you just want a piece of that meal. Like, you know what I'm saying? You need a share. That's your friend and the friend's share, right? Get you a little piece of the meal. It's the Fanum tax. You just go ahead and just like, lemme get a little bit of 5%, 10% of the meal, maybe 20%.[21]
On October 2, 2023, a TikTok account under the username @ovp.9 posted a short video of a character from the online video game Fortnite "singing" to a musical parody of the 2021 song "ecstacy" by Suicidal-Idol.[22] The parody, titled either "Sticking Out Your Gyat for the Rizzler" or "You're so skibidi, you’re so fanum tax",[23] features multiple internet culture terms including gyat, Skibidi Toilet, rizz and Sigma male. The song was used in many videos on TikTok, inspiring the mass creation of videos featuring Minecraft-inspired games on the platform.[6] The sound was used in over 195,000 videos and amassed over 321 million views on TikTok.[22]
According to Business Insider, many members of Generation Z claim "they were not aware of the meme at all."[24] The New York Times referred to the term as "the language of Gen Alpha."[25]
