October 2020[edit]

Hi Cypriot Nationalist! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hello, I'm FDW777. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, M16 rifle, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 18:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of military equipment of Cyprus. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you.

Your own observation that a particular gun might be an M16 is against policy, as is your accusation of vandalism. FDW777 (talk) 19:30, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at M16 rifle, you may be blocked from editing. FDW777 (talk) 19:32, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:FDW777. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. FDW777 (talk) 19:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at List of military equipment of Cyprus.

Appeal Request:

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).

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

Request reason:

Was banned for apparently not referencing sources yet I had referenced at least 4, 3 websites 1 from youtube, admin was rude towards me saying I was "trying to act like an expert on wiki with fewer than 50 edits" when the other guy who was vandalising the page had more when all I was simply doing was adding information about my countrys military and then reverting vandalising. The admin was clearly bias an had returned the page to its vandalised State. Furthermore, to prove I was not the vandal if you go on "List of military equipment of Cyprus" which was the vandalised page, you will see that virutally everything "-12,519‎" worth of data scrubbed which included cited sources and if the admin looking at this would care to look (not being rude), theyll see that the Cypriot National Guards main infantry weapon is the G3 and we are now getting Tavors yet theyere all gone. This should be enough to proove vandalism and wrongful ban. Additionally, if the admin wanted any more proof that this was vandalised, if you look at the weapons and equipment left, you'll see there is only about 6 things there, this military parade video should be enough proof to show that its a lot more than that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWUAeCA4NCM. I was also given the argument that most the things there weren't referenced however for 1 I hadn't added everything there so it wouldn't be on me to add them even if they were missing and for 2 most the things were in fact referenced. I will be deciding whether I wish to take action on that clearly bias/ abuseful admin however if the previous work that was there could just be restored id be ok as I simply just want the correct information on the website and about my country. Thank you.

Decline reason:

This does not address the reason for the block, checkuser-confirmed sockpuppetry. 331dot (talk) 09:02, 17 October 2020 (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.
