You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:

{{unblock|reason=I would like to apologise for my work. I give a solemn and honest promise to Follow the 
WikiPedia code of conduct. I beg of you to unblock me  ~~~~}}

@Bbb23, I have given a reason for my unblock. Again, I promise to follow all rules set forward here.GFO (talk) 05:28, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GuyForceOne I think you need to use the ampersand to tag @Bbb23 to send a notification properly -- asilvering (talk) 05:34, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what that is, can you describe how to use it?GFO (talk) 05:38, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GFO, you pinged me properly. Asilvering, you mean the @, which is an at the rate of symbol, not an ampersand (&), and you don't need to use either. Certain pings automatically add an @. Aren't you a little green for advising other users on how to ping? --Bbb23 (talk) 14:50, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For goodness sake! Yes, I am new, which is why I said "I think"! I did mean the "at symbol", but mistyped "ampersand" instead. On that, mea culpa. I have already run into the problem of things not pinging other users because the at sign was not added (in this case, the person who was not notified properly was me, and the person who did not properly send a notification was an experienced editor), so I thought it would be helpful to mention. -- asilvering (talk) 17:32, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Asilvering: Well, you're certainly "new" to this account. Adding the @ before a ping does absolutely nothing to effectuate the ping.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:33, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I said I am new...? I don't understand what you're trying to say or imply with your first sentence. As for the second, my information comes from a question I had asked in the Teahouse earlier, here. (I don't know how to link directly to the reply, but search "Removing "stub"" and you'll get to the right place.) Are you saying the answer I got here was incorrect? -- asilvering (talk) 20:14, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Asilvering: The answer you got at the Teahouse had to do with a separate tool, nothing to do with how to ping. This discussion really doesn't belong on this Talk page. If you have additional questions, please ask me at my Talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:00, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did you really have to do this on MY talk page, Bbb23 and Asilvering? GFO (talk) 03:06, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

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).

GuyForceOne (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I want to apologise for violating the code of conduct. I feel that if I will be unblocked, I promise to contribute to the encyclopedia and. I accept that I made a mistake.GFO (talk) 05:44, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 10:34, 15 November 2021 (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.

I understand and accept this block. However, is an indefinite block necessary for a mistake of this magnitude,Yamla? GFO (talk) 14:26, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Man, this is some bs. GFO (talk) 04:05, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it isn't. You are being asked to comply with a reasonable request: Explain to the best of your knowledge what you did that caused you to get blocked, and explain how you plan to contribute to building an encyclopedia. Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks offers useful advice. Read it well, and craft a convincing appeal. Once you lose the trust of the community, you need to earn it back, you don't get unblocked simply by asking, you need to provide explanations. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:27, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
