September 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. An edit you recently made to Tornado outbreak of December 10–11, 2021 seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. 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. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:10, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I figured it out now, sorry.173.68.184.70 (talk) 19:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

It’s so annoying - Blaze Wolf makes a mistake, I correct it, of course USM statusquostonewalls and now a maintaince template is left off. There isn’t a notice board equipped to handle this either. --173.68.184.70 (talk) 20:05, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Making an account[edit]

Hi, I have seen that you have been editing and just wanted to know if you wanted to make an account. Sorry for not talking to you earlier - I'm not as active as I used to be. It's free to do so, and from there you can join things like WikiProject Weather or WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. Stay safe, Cyclone Toby 18:38, 2 October 2022 (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).

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

Request reason:

I’ll admit I was block evading as Andrew5, but here’s my story. I was blocked for concurrently using Andrew5 and Guttmana9 in April 2019, because I didn’t know block evasion and sock puppetry was forbidden, and I wasn’t even given instructions on how to appeal. I still didn’t know by September 2019 with ImTheOneKhaled, and I still used IPs to block evade until Gale5050 (the earliest account i remember the password to) in February/March 2020. Earning a global lock at the end of the month, I lost control and continued to block evade, culminating with HurricaneTracker495. Then I stopped, and I want to make myself clear - I am not PlanetsForLife. I underwent a WP:SO, which went declined by ArbCom leading to the block of PlanetsForLife. The account isn’t mine, we must live in the same general area and our edit histories aren’t similar, even though we are both interested in tropical cyclones. Then, realizing I’d probably never be unblocked, per ArbCom, i made a few helpful but small edits to Wikipedia. But by December, I lost control. Even when I was caught in January/February, it became an addiction. A very strong one. However, I want to make it very clear that besides from the USM disputes, I made positive contributes and wanted to help the encyclopedia. Please consider this unblock, and if it’s declined give me steps forward. I’m trying to help, and I feel that when my helpful edits are reverted like what they just were, it’s harder for me to go away and accept I can’t follow a WP:SO with the anxiety Wikipedia gives me. If I do need to undergo WP:SO, I request to avoid temptation, my home IP address of 47.16.96.73 be reblocked for 6 months, to avoid temptation of editing during my block.--173.68.184.70 (talk) 21:20, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You are not eligible for unblock consideration at this time. WP:SO is your only path forward and, frankly, the chances are slim given your block evasion stretching back years and your ludicrous claim that your edits are constructive. Your best bet is to clearly demonstrate you understand why your edits are not constructive and why your block evasion has made it hard to trust you. Note also that you are globally locked and almost certainly considered banned by the community. As requested, I will go and block your home IP address. Yamla (talk) 21:24, 7 October 2022 (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.

@Yamla: I made a typo in the request for blocking my IP. It was supposed to be 47.16.96.33, not 47.16.96.73. 173.68.184.70 (talk) 21:32, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Changed. Zero edits, starting now. Zero. --Yamla (talk) 21:34, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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.
