User talk:Shedlund

Hi, Shedlund, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

Additional tips[edit]

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy ^talk ^contribs

Thank you for experimenting with the page The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

The Velvet Underground[edit]

Hi, instead of a revert war at The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, could we possibly discuss the issue on the talk page, that is always a method far more likely to come to some kind of resolution. Thanks! Jdcooper 10:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 05:40, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for attempting to harass other users, as you did at User talk:NawlinWiki. 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 below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

I am truly sorry my behavior, i don't really remember what i did but i'm sure it was stupid and immature and maybe even hurtful. I visit wikipedia almost on a daly basis and feel that it's time for me to contribute in someway and be part of the community of brave and generous souls of wikipedia. I promise that something like this will never happen again and if you find it in your heart to forgive a simple man like me, i will forever be in your debt. Thank you Shedlund (talk) 14:00, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You were blocked for making graphic death threats. A sarcastic unblock request that does not even address the problematic behavior is not helpful. Kuru (talk) 17:44, 3 August 2013 (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.

Request reason:

I was serious!

Decline reason:

1. "I was serious" is not an unblock request and 2. the edit you made that was disallowed by the abuse filter is vile. Given your history of using this account for a mix of minor edits and vandalism combined with my previous points 1 and 2, your unblock request is declined.
