Speedy deletion nomination of Gruber Law Offices[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Gruber Law Offices requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Request reason:
I’m not gruber? What was I even banned for?
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.
Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 10:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
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.
- Really, that's nice. You've been making spammy edits for a while. And you certainly were promoting Gruber. So "advertising" fits, even if it is not self promotion. Please describe concisely and clearly how your edits merited a block, what you would do differently, and what constructive edits you would make. Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. Please adjust you unblock request accordingly. Thanks, -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:16, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Which “spammy edits” are you referring to? You are going to need to be more precise than that if you want me to give a precise response. Tbrennan0827 (talk) 09:21, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I don’t think my writing fit within “advertising” either. I did not say that he was a good guy nor a company. He is huge here in SE wisconsin, hence the articles existence, and quite frankly I’ve heard nothing except that he runs a questionable business. Tbrennan0827 (talk) 09:26, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- That you do not see the promotional nature of your edits does not argue in favor of unblocking you. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- The you will not elaborate on what was promotional about it does not assist me in seeing what you see as promotional Tbrennan0827 (talk) 22:09, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
TBh I´m not completely sure why i was blocked based on what was explained to me. I suppose it was because I did not "explain why (gruber) was significant" enough and it seemed like advertising rather than a Wikipedia entry? I disagree but that´s what i have best gathered. To remedy that, I suppose i would write more about how huge his presence in SE Wisconsin is and why that warrants a page on wikipedia. Tbrennan0827 (talk) 16:16, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Decline reason:
We have a page that deals exactly with why what you have been trying to do re Gruber is problematic. Sorry no one linked you to it before. — Daniel Case (talk) 07:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

It’s ok, I appreciate your response. But I still don’t see how what I did was advertising. The link that you sent me lists out what is promotion in a few bullet points. I agree with the concepts, but none of them apply here:
"ensuring awareness" for *your* service, cause, website, or whatever "making sure people know about" *your product, service, website, or whatever* "keeping the story straight" in an article about *you* or *someone/something you have close ties with* "*just posting facts*" that everyone else thinks sounds like an advertisement
I have done exactly none of these. I have no relation with gruber at all, as I have previously mentioned, so it’s quite not possible to do those. I don't really care if he fails. I do not wish to promote him one bit. I made the page because, frankly, I was surprised he didn't have one seeing how big he is here. I wanted to read about his background on Wikipedia, but he didn't have one.
The fact that I was banned from ALL EDITING because I made two pages concerning a WIDELY-KNOWN BUSINESS PERSON in Wisconsin when others make disruptive edits and get multiple warnings is truly bizarre.
Really, I just want my editing privileges back. I want to fix the endless periods people put outside quotations here. I am not a disruption. I've never vandalized. I don't make bad content.
Tbrennan0827 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Look, I truly do not get why what I did warranted a block and think it’s fairly insane that I was given one. Please read above to see my reason. That said, I really do want my editing privileges back. As I said, I don’t made disruptive edits, I don’t spam, and I’m not trying to destroy Wikipedia or whatever. I just want my editing back so I can fix terrible grammar things and contribute to the project. Growing forward, I guess I won't make an article about gruber. If that's what it takes then fine. Just unblock me please. Tbrennan0827 (talk) 08:45, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Tbrennan0827:
I regret to inform you that your unblock request has been declined.
In the above discussion, you seemed to indicate (and I apologize if I've misconstrued your intent here) that you would immediately set-out to begin violating Wikipedia guidelines if unblocked, specifically MOS:LQ (See: "I want to fix the endless periods people put outside quotations here.").
Blocking is done to arrest the possibility of future disruption so we can't respond to unblock requests when it is clear disruption is almost certainly going to result from the unblock. While LQ is only a guideline, it is one widely followed and an editor who intends to go on a grand tour of WP making the changes you've indicated would be likely to create great annoyance (even if unintentional).
That said, I feel confident that a concise unblock request made after a period of time reasonable enough in duration to indicate you have familiarized yourself with WP's policies and guidelines would probably be positively received. Also, committing to completing WP:ADVENTURE, upon unblocking, might be talismanic of your productive intent.
While you currently can't edit WP, you can continue to participate in the WP project as a non-editing reader.
I know this isn't the response you may have wished to receive, but it's my hope you understand that all blocks are potentially transient, and are rarely a permanent restriction of one's editing privileges.
I hope to see you resume editing in the near future and look forward to reading your contributions.
Best regards,

Unblock discussion[edit]
What constructive edits would you make? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:30, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- As I said, most of the edits that I make are grammar related: commas, tense adjustments, wordinesses, and things of that nature. That’s probably 80% of what I’d do. Tbrennan0827 (talk) 17:07, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Tbrennan0827 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
As requested, I have taken a reasonable amount of time and have familiarized myself with the Wikipedia guidelines. I didn´t know that Logical Punctuation was even a thing before, nor did I know that Wikipedia has its own style guide type of thing. I now do. While I disagree with some of its choices, I will not take any actions to disrupt those who do not. Tbrennan0827 (talk) 01:16, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Hmm the block was for promotional editing. Somehow you're shifting this into punctuation; I had to go through the deleted portions of this talk page to figure out why. What I learned was that you somehow didn't understand how the Gruber articles you created were promotional, which is puzzling to me; next thing, you're saying "Ima fix this punctuation" without realizing that that's the way we do it. To me, this all adds up to a lack of competence: you are doing disruptive things in a place while completely oblivious of the rules that govern behavior in this place, and you have given me no reason to think this will improve. Drmies (talk) 01:27, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

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.
Did you not read what I wrote at all? Per the previous person to look at my block request, a look over the Wikipedia guidelines for editing and a reasonable time period to familiarize myself with them would rule in my favor. I have already addressed that while I do not agree with labeling Gruber as promotional, I accept it. I do not plan on remaking such a page or any page.

Request reason:
I would like to request a new review as I believe that the previous reviewer did their review in bad faith. Please see my comment to the review as well as my original language in the request. Also, please see the review and comment made by the ban reviewer before the most frequent one Tbrennan0827 (talk) 03:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I see no evidence of bad faith on the part of Drmies, and you haven't provided any- it seems to me that you only think so because you did not get the result that you want. Regarding the block itself, you seem to be saying that you don't plan on making any new articles, so we will need to know what you will do instead- but you also need to show that you understand why you were blocked. You seem to be saying that you accept why you were blocked but don't agree with it, and will not disrupt people who do abide by guidelines. You certainly do not have to agree with guidelines, but we need to know that you will abide by the same guidelines as everyone else nevertheless. Like Drmies, I see no reason here to think that your actions will improve, so I must decline your request. 331dot (talk) 10:37, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

I've restored your talk page content; you may not remove declined unblock requests for a sitewide active block until the block is removed. You may remove other content, but not that. See WP:BLANKING. 331dot (talk) 10:22, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
Regarding the advertising: I disagree with the categorization of the page I tried to create, but I see how it could have been taken as promotional even though I strictly disagree. That's fine, whatever. I said I didn't intend to make any new articles so this issue is resolved.
Regarding the style guide, I think it's a poor idea, but I will still follow its principles to the best of my ability.
Regarding both reasons: I will not take any actions to interrupt, persuade, or otherwise disrupt others who believe that either idea is true and or good.
The point of banns is to prevent future harm to Wikipedia, and since no future harm will occur in either area, this ban is no longer warranted.
My future plans for edits, since this was requested too, will mainly revolve around improving the Wikipedia pages for endangered Sámi languages, since they are largely terrible. Tbrennan0827 (talk) 13:18, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks.
