Request reason:

I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't vandalize anything. I merely stated that I read he died of AIDS. If it's not true, it can be fixed. It's no big deal. Certainly not a vandalization. I've contributed a lot over the years. I understand that I did not provide a source, and for that I do sincerely apologise. Forgive me. Nightwing Returns (talk) 20:16, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

When you are ready to respond to the question below, and can provide the information requested, please use the {{unblock}} template again with your response, and the requested information. SQL ^{Query me!} 03:21, 26 August 2018 (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.

No, you falsely claimed that you were "fixing a factual error" in your edit summary, when in reality you were inserting unsourced and unverifiable information to a biography of a recently-deceased person, in breach of WP:BLP, and then repeatedly re-added it without providing a source, in violation of WP:V. So, that by itself is a big deal. That's not to mention the fact that you were saying he died of AIDS, which obviously looks like vandalism. I will give you a chance to rewrite this unblock request in order to better comply with WP:GAB, but I'm not buying that your edits were not vandalism and will be revoking your talk page access if you fail to do so, because your current one seems frivilous.

Further details are needed. Please provide the source that you supposedly derived that information from, as you're claiming that you were simply updating the article in good faith to reflect a source you read, and not intending to vandalize. If that is truly the case, I find it hard to believe that you don't understand how the misunderstanding happened and feel you are being unfairly blocked and now "blackmailed". I would think you would be working with me to try to clear up the misunderstanding. If it was a dumb joke, just admit it and promise not to do it again and we'll give you another chance. It looks like a first offense. Swarm ♠ 21:10, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
