Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Request reason:
Hello. I feel that it is imperative that I be unblocked as soon as possible. Although I completely understand what it was that I was doing that was wrong, I still feel that it was a bit unfair that I was blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia. I realize that I have been warned several times in the past about copying and pasting content from one article to another without giving credit to the original editors who added that content, and I tried my best in making absolutely sure in always giving credit to the original editors that I was copying and pasting content from. I tried my best to work as quickly and efficiently as possible in correcting all of my mistakes and giving credit. I understand that I slipped up on several occasions, but I can assure you all that I did not do so to intentionally inconvenience anybody. I intended in correcting all of my mistakes as quickly as possible, but I feel that I was not given sufficient time in doing so. Now that I see how seriously this business of copying content without giving credit is taken here on Wikipedia (to the extent that I managed to get myself blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia) I will from here on out be much more careful about giving credit where credit is due. Please unblock me as soon as possible so that I may continue making contributions to Wikipedia. I do feel that I have made some genuine contributions and I am sure that some of you on here will agree, while others may not. I will make sure to do whatever needs to be done to have myself unblocked, and to prevent myself from being blocked ever again. I sincerely apologize for inconveniencing anybody. Thank you.
Accept reason:
Per the above unblock request and the below comments I have unblocked you — There'sNoTime ( to explain) 19:32, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
I really don't get it. You say you thought about what I wrote about not copy-pasting stuff (which is unfortunately only one of several problems in how you edit Wikipedia). Yet you just continue as before, even though you know why you shouldn't do that. Why? -- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 07:52, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
Me again. I've (again) taken the liberty of reverting the edits you made to Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia). I've listed the issues on the talk page over there, and they are still the same issues I've been trying to talk to you about for months now. Every time I talked to you about this, you assured me that you were going to work on it and address all the issues, yet you don't seem to follow up on that. Also, you mentioned above that the article in your sandbox was not intended to be a "real" article, yet you are now copying it into the article piece by piece. I don't know what to make of that.
So, again, could you please refrain from making any edits to Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) until the issues with your editing style have been addressed? Best, -- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 07:43, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
There are a number of different issues with your editing. I'll try to summarize:
This is a summary list of the main issues with your editing style, and unfortunately many of these issues are inter-related. Best, -- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 10:26, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Me again. I've copy-edited the changes you made. Could you please review them and try and incorporate that in future editing? For example, there is no need to say of every archaeological site that it is "in Sumer", or "in Syria". Further, there is no need to spell out every occurrence of Early Dynastic period, or use "sub-period" every time ED IIIa or ED II comes up. This makes reading really hard. Texts read much better if you vary between the different options (ED, Early Dynastic, Early Dynastic period). Finally, could you please watch your punctuation? At end of sentences, you often put the . inside parentheses. This is wrong. If you are planning to edit other sections as well, could you please discuss that first and indicate why you think your version is an improvement to what's already there? You are not introducing content, but you ARE introducing errors, for whatever reason (for example in the last paragraph in periodization, see my edit there), which makes it all the more likely that they will get reversed. Best, -- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 07:58, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
I've copy-edited some of the changes you made. Could you please review the history of the article and see the edit summaries for suggestions? In short, try to vary your language. For example, you're using "Diyala River Valley Region" everywhere, whereas you could vary that by also using Diyala, or using just Diyala instead (which amounts to the same thing, but is a lot shorter and easier to digest). Best, Zoeperkoe ( talk) 07:55, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Boleyn. SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits, thanks for creating Puzur-Suen (Gutian king)!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged as needing more references.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

A tag has been placed on File:Old Kingdom of Egypt.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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.

Hello SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits,
I appreciate your edits with the Old Assyrian Period of the early Bronze Age and before the rise of Mitanni. I also do edits with pages that focus mentioning but not talk about them. As I said before, I appreciate your edits concerning the Old Assyrian Kingdom, especially when, like the Middle Period succeeding it, there are very few artistic seals or reliefs showing the military prowess or the king, such as the White Obelisk of Assurnasirpal I or even buildings or structures. Like I said, keep up the good work and improvements! Maybe one day we might collaborate with each other cause I also do random edits. NotSparta9703 ( talk) 17:51, 4 April 2020 (UTC) |

Although I completely understand what it was that I was doing that was wrong, I still feel that it was a bit unfair that I was blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia. I realize that I have been warned several times in the past about copying and pasting content from one article to another without giving credit to the original editors who added that content, and I tried my best in making absolutely sure in always giving credit to the original editors that I was copying and pasting content from.

Now that I see how seriously this business of copying content without giving credit is taken here on Wikipedia (to the extent that I managed to get myself blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia) I will from here on out be much more careful about giving credit where credit is due. Please unblock me as soon as possible so that I may continue making contributions to Wikipedia.

I really don't get it. You say you thought about what I wrote about not copy-pasting stuff (which is unfortunately only one of several problems in how you edit Wikipedia). Yet you just continue as before, even though you know why you shouldn't do that. Why? -- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 07:52, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
Me again. I've (again) taken the liberty of reverting the edits you made to Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia). I've listed the issues on the talk page over there, and they are still the same issues I've been trying to talk to you about for months now. Every time I talked to you about this, you assured me that you were going to work on it and address all the issues, yet you don't seem to follow up on that. Also, you mentioned above that the article in your sandbox was not intended to be a "real" article, yet you are now copying it into the article piece by piece. I don't know what to make of that.
So, again, could you please refrain from making any edits to Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) until the issues with your editing style have been addressed? Best, -- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 07:43, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
There are a number of different issues with your editing. I'll try to summarize:
This is a summary list of the main issues with your editing style, and unfortunately many of these issues are inter-related. Best, -- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 10:26, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Me again. I've copy-edited the changes you made. Could you please review them and try and incorporate that in future editing? For example, there is no need to say of every archaeological site that it is "in Sumer", or "in Syria". Further, there is no need to spell out every occurrence of Early Dynastic period, or use "sub-period" every time ED IIIa or ED II comes up. This makes reading really hard. Texts read much better if you vary between the different options (ED, Early Dynastic, Early Dynastic period). Finally, could you please watch your punctuation? At end of sentences, you often put the . inside parentheses. This is wrong. If you are planning to edit other sections as well, could you please discuss that first and indicate why you think your version is an improvement to what's already there? You are not introducing content, but you ARE introducing errors, for whatever reason (for example in the last paragraph in periodization, see my edit there), which makes it all the more likely that they will get reversed. Best, -- Zoeperkoe ( talk) 07:58, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
I've copy-edited some of the changes you made. Could you please review the history of the article and see the edit summaries for suggestions? In short, try to vary your language. For example, you're using "Diyala River Valley Region" everywhere, whereas you could vary that by also using Diyala, or using just Diyala instead (which amounts to the same thing, but is a lot shorter and easier to digest).

A tag has been placed on File:Old Kingdom of Egypt.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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.

Hello SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits,
I appreciate your edits with the Old Assyrian Period of the early Bronze Age and before the rise of Mitanni. I also do edits with pages that focus mentioning but not talk about them. As I said before, I appreciate your edits concerning the Old Assyrian Kingdom, especially when, like the Middle Period succeeding it, there are very few artistic seals or reliefs showing the military prowess or the king, such as the White Obelisk of Assurnasirpal I or even buildings or structures. Like I said, keep up the good work and improvements! Maybe one day we might collaborate with each other cause I also do random edits. NotSparta9703 ( talk) 17:51, 4 April 2020 (UTC) |
