User talk:Mexican redknee tarantula

Userboxes[edit]

Hey Mr Tarantula. I've put a couple of options in the last couple of edits in your userpage history which might do what you want; just revert my last edits if you prefer an earlier version. There are a ton of other ways it could be done, depending on how you want it laid out, but I need to go to bed... You can mess around with the code on your userpage to get different effects if you want; or if you'd prefer I can swing by in the morning and offer you a few more options. Gotta get my precious shuteye now. Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way! Yunshui ^雲 _水 23:11, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! That's exactly how I wanted it but I will tweak around with it and definitely add some more Userboxes. Sleep well and thanks again.--Mexican redknee tarantula (talk) 23:18, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looking good! (even if it does trigger my arachnophobia a bit...) Yunshui ^雲 _水 07:26, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies! Is there a specific template I have to use to change the size of the box? Also, how do I make four different columns across the page? Thanks.--Mexican redknee tarantula (talk) 09:53, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yunshui: Hi friend, can you help me please? I have been banned and I don't know why. I've appealed but I am not hearing anything back. Many thanks.--Mexican redknee tarantula (talk) 20:27, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I have noticed that User:DoRD has blocked me with the reason that I'm a sockpuppet of a username "English Patriot Man" but nothing has come up on my talk page, I only realised when I tried to create a Userbox for my page. I have no idea why I have been banned as a sockpuppet. For the most part, I have mainly just been looking at how to do basic editing and have been just making Userboxes and customising my page. Very shortly after joining Wikipedia, I even made a request for help on the Help desk here. Since I got that sorted I just spent the majority of my time on Wikipedia editing my page with various Userboxes and creating new ones. I have made a couple of edits that are about Hitler, Nazism and the Third Reich and I've also asked about putting something in the Stalin article because I'm currently reading Richard Overy's The Dictators: Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia and if you look at the book via Google books you will see all of the edits I have made are only within a 2-3 pages gap difference (which is where I was when I made those edits). I do apologise if my edits are similar to a banned user, I have no idea who the banned user is which is why it's a huge shock to me to see that I've been banned so rapidly. Is there anything I can do to have this ban rectrified? Thank you for your cooperation.

Decline reason:

This is a checkuser block, meaning that the socking was technically confirmed. You can only contact the WP:ARBCOM. Administrators can't help you. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:46, 18 September 2017 (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.
