Hello, CorwenAv, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for
your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.
Please
sign your name on
talk pages, by using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username and the date, and helps to identify who said what and when. Please do not sign any edit that is not on a talk page.
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are
semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible
templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only
administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been
blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Do a search on
Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
In a new tab/window, go to the
citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A
WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See
this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.
Navboxes
If you add a navbox to an article (such as Urban legends), the navbox must include the article. Please fix this so others don't have to do it. Thanks.

I see that you just started. Can you please withdraw the proposal to delete an article, and get better informed about editing and processes first? Sourced information will not be deleted because you find it potentially misleading. --

Welcome to Wikipedia. Wikipedia invites everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, but one or more redirects you created have been considered
disruptive and/or malicious, and have been reverted or deleted. Take a look at the
welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you.
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).
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.
I don't even understand what my original ban was for. All I did was revert a POV edit that was demonstrably wrong which NotReallySoroka arbitrarily declared was subject to 1RR (with no evidence whatsoever anywhere) and everyone eagerly jumped on my back to tear me to shreds. It was all a witch-hunt by him against me. I tried very hard to improve this website, but it seems certain attitudes are just far too engrained to have any hope of changing them. I still maintain I did nothing wrong and I have no idea why I've been pulverised. I made this account because I sincerely believed (and still do believe) the original ban was unjust.

Look, I am unfamiliar with your previous account and its history. I do not know why you were blocked, and, frankly, that's immaterial here. If you are blocked, you may not create another account to keep editing. That's
block evasion and will certainly lead to a block whenever you're discovered. If you want to be unblocked, your best bet is the
WP:STANDARDOFFER, but it requires you keep away from Wikipedia for at least six months; if you evade our block, the six months will reset. Also, you will have to prove that you understand what the problems were that led to your original block and to convince the reviewing admin that you will no longer edit disruptively once unblocked. I suggest that you read the explanations you were given as to why your behaviour was perceived as disruptive and try to take them to heart. Salviogiuliano13:15, 12 January 2023 (UTC)reply
The original ban was passed arbitrarily because a user declared unilaterally that an article was subject to a 1RR, even though it was not tagged as such, he just declared it to be so, and other users simply went along with his declaration. There was no possible way I could have avoided it because it was arbitrary.

Yes, you can appeal to the community by filing an unblock request using your original account or you can go to
WP:ARBCOM. However, if your argument is that you are totally innocent and you were railroaded, your appeal is likely to be rejected per
WP:NOTTHEM as I did earlier or other flavours of the same concept, such as
WP:1AM... And every rejected appeal and every case of block evasion is going to make it harder and harder to eventually have your block lifted... Salviogiuliano13:32, 12 January 2023 (UTC)reply
Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an
administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.
