Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/MBGuyCasey

Hello MBGuyCasey. I noticed you, or another editor created a Requests for Adminship page under your name, and I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. Please note that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets an extremely high bar for potential administrator candidates. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, User:Davidwr/Administration is not for new users, and Wikipedia:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today.

It appears that you have only edited for two months (with only 47 edits) and by looking at the warnings on your talk page you do not appear to understand Wikipedia's policies just yet. !Voters at RfA want to see at least 4,000 edits and at least 6 months of editing from candidates. I strongly recommend you not run for adminship at this time, and instead gain some valuable editing experience. If you want me to delete the page, let me know. Otherwise, if you are still intent on running, you will need to transclude your request at WP:RFA by following the instructions at WP:RFA/N. Eagles 24/7 sock (C) 15:49, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done and please see my message below. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:22, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Addition Removed Due to Posting Copyrighted Materials Without Permission

Your addition to SkyWheel (Myrtle Beach) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please do not copy and paste information from references into articles.

June 2011 Posting Block

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted, as you did at SkyWheel (Myrtle Beach). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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).

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

Request reason:

I did not copy text from SkyWheel (Myrtle Beach) I looked at the source I provided and rewrote my addition to it in my own words. I'm trying to provide additional information and I tried my best to re-write it in my own words.

Decline reason:

Sorry, but if that's trying your best, then you are a hazard to Wikipedia, as those were exact quotes from other websites. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 04:11, 1 June 2011 (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.

It appears that you just moved a few phrases around ([1] vs. [2]). Eagles 24/7 (C) 04:08, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
