Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:51, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moving drafts[edit]

Why are you moving other editors' declined drafts into the main space past AfC? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:14, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto. I noticed Figbiscuits moved one of my drafts which clearly wasn't ready for mainspace. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 12:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

October 2023[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Zfort Group. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.

What tags? Figbiscuits (talk) 07:48, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't know what tags, then you really shouldn't be doing it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:49, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

October 2023[edit]

Any further disruptive editing at the Teahouse or any other help venue will result in a block. I hope that's clear. If you are not willing to or capable of offering accurate advice in a calm and friendly way, then please remain silent. Cullen328 (talk) 08:52, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is this regarding? Figbiscuits (talk) 08:57, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it was your disruptive behavior at the Help desk that I was referring to. Cullen328 (talk) 19:15, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ANI discussion[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:55, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Have you previously edited under different account(s)? Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partial block[edit]

There is a rapidly emerging consensus at ANI that your draft moves are problematic but you have continued to move drafts while the discussion was ongoing. Thus, I have partially blocked you from editing the draft namespace for the time being. The instructions on what to do if you disagree are below.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing certain areas of Wikipedia for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}.

—HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:20, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

October 2023[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

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 ~~~~}}. Star Mississippi 17:29, 5 October 2023 (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).

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

Request reason:

See below Figbiscuits (talk) 06:57, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have read the suggested page, Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks. I respond to the specifics;

1. State your reason for believing your block was incorrect or for requesting reconsideration. It is not enough if you just say that the block was "wrong" or "unfair", or another user violated a policy first. You must explain why it was wrong to block you, or why it should be reversed.

I do not believe any of my edits contravened Wikipedia rules.

If any did, please show a diff and a reason.

2. Address the blocking administrator's concerns about your conduct (the reason given for your block). As explained above, you have been informed about the reason for your block. You must address this reason in your request. This means that you must either explain why the block reason is incorrect or not applicable to your conduct, or you must convince the reviewing administrator that you won't do it again.

"your draft moves are problematic" is not a valid reason for a block. Moving drafts to live space is not a crime. As far as I am aware, there is no policy prohibiting my actions.

3. Give evidence. If you state that you did or did not do something, or that the blocking administrator is missing something important, please provide brief details and a link in the form of a differential edit ("diff") if possible, or other evidence showing that you don't (or didn't) do what the block reason states.

I cannot give specific diffs, because I have not been told which were the cause of the block. Figbiscuits (talk) 06:57, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

As noted above, your moves of drafts are problematic and apparently you don't give a fuck when others point out issues like that. This has also been turned into a checkuser block. 331dot (talk) 07:47, 25 November 2023 (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.
