A lengthy welcome[edit]
Hi Cameron Dev. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.
If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal (talk) 21:00, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
I did not find this particularly useful, and indeed some parts of it are quite offensive. Next time you feel the need to "welcome" someone else this manner, I suggest a closer reading of what they have already said and done. If you had, you would appreciate I know fine well what is and is not a good source, that my specific issue is precisely how the handling of an editorial dispute is being allowed to resemble a farce rather than a discussion, that there really isn't any reason anyone might think I have a connection to Price, and that no, I really don't need to spend time writing about trains for a week or two before I might be allowed to write a biography here. That said, I am quite sure you meant well and have good intentions, so please don't take this personally. Cameron Dev (talk) 11:00, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry you feel that way. I hope you'll reconsider, if you intend to continue here on Wikipedia. --Hipal (talk) 16:35, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

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
- understand what you have been blocked for,
- will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
- will make useful contributions instead.

- You are blocked for abuse of multiple accounts, which your appeal fails to address.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:24, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Katie Price's history of drug use[edit]
@Martinevans123: I don't mind people drawing different conclusions based on a common set of facts, but after the absolute shit I was forced to eat by the likes of Zaereth, it's pretty galling to see EnPassant getting away with blatant lies like this and be told that I'm the disruptor and deceiver. As he already knows from the biography talk page, there are now at least two BBC reports of Price having admitted cocaine use and entered rehab, i.e on two separate occasions. She clearly has a problem, and contrary to the continuing inexplicable garbage of Masem, no, the vast majority of UK celebrities aren't repeat visitors to the Priory to treat their coke addiction.

- Thanks for pointing that out. Be careful that you don't make any personal attacks here, on other editors, or you may lose your Talk page access. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:04, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
