13:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)WHAT THE HELL? I didn't do nothing wrong. I am SO here to build an encyclopedia. How is this not the case?!? I am a good contributor to Wikipedia, and am no vandal. I have been treated unfairly, because Wikipedia admins are nothing more than control freaks.
I contribute to Wikipedia for the following reasons;
My behaviour is typical to that of any other Wikipedia user. There is nothing abnormal about it. The only reason I haven't engaged in discussions is because I have been busy with college and other commitments.
XF, it's a shame you didn't engage at the ANI, but what you have written above confirms why you have been blocked. Your behaviour is not the same as everyone else's: you have repeatedly refused to engage in discussions or change your editing when issues were raised. You also do not always add reliable sources, there are numerous messages on your talk page warning you not to create unreferenced articles, which you have ignored, and you have also refused to WP:INLINECITE (which is a requirement for blps) and used imdb as an only source. Your editing has created a huge amount of work for others and a lot of frustration. Referenced stubs are absolutely fine; refusing to reference, or adding unreliable sources, or sources which are not inline is not fine, and neither is refusing to discuss issues until it has got to the point of a block. Boleyn ( talk) 13:37, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
I include Inline Citations, and have done that on many pages.

Request reason:
My behaviour was deemed unacceptable by Wikipedia administrators when that is clearly not true. I have been contributing to Wikipedia in an acceptable manner, when the admins are complaining over minor indiscretions such as not including inline citations or reliable sources and blocked me for it.
Wikipedia admins are nothing more than control freaks. They should see the error of their ways. This is why Doug Weller's blocking of me was unjustified.
Decline reason:
Please discuss only your behaviour, not that of others. If you believe Wikipedia admins are control freaks, which may be accurate, that's fine; you are welcome to discuss the issue once unblocked. But it won't help your unblock request. Now, you've been accused of failing to respond to messages and often failing to cite information, particularly on biographies of living people. This looks accurate to me. If you disagree, it should be fairly easy to prove. For example, show that I missed a citation on Draft:Standish J. Lambert or that your other biographies are generally well-sourced (remember, imdb doesn't count; see WP:RS). As to the commenting, it should be fairly easy to show you almost always respond to messages. I can't find evidence of this, but you are very welcome to provide some.

Request reason:
My behaviour on Wikipedia was deemed unacceptable by admins, when that is clearly not true. Whilst they have accused me of improper use of the site, I already understand the issues, but I didn't do anything wrong - most recently, I started using inline citation and reliable sources on pages, and the Wikipedia admins still blocked me, which I think is unfair. I promise to mend my ways, as long as the admins also mend their ways.
Decline reason:
I just went and looked at your contributions, your edit summaries (or mostly lack thereof), your use of article talk pages (nonexistant), and your use of this talk page (none whatsoever until you were blocked, despite more than a year of warnings about your approach to editing). You don't get to negotiate here ("as long as the admins mend their ways"); people have been remarkably patient with you. --jpgordon 𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 17:23, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

IT'S OFFICIAL. WIKIPEDIA HATES ME.
I just spend most of the time editing or creating pages just like everyone else. But now I feel worse off after what has happened.
What can I do to get my block lifted? How to get my editing privileges back?
XerxesFalcon, I know you're blocked and I don't want to seem to be stomping all over you. But I think we're all hoping you will be able to get unblocked and resume writing articles, this time with references. I've just spent some time referencing a few of your articles, and it was apparent that Helgi Skúlason was translated from the article on Swedish Wikipedia—you misunderstood the point about the "in Sweden" bit in the text. The thing is, you didn't mention anywhere that it was a translation. When you translate an article from another version of Wikipedia, you must give full attribution to the editors who worked on that article. Preferably, that's done by including in your first edit summary, "translated from [[:sv:Helgi Skúlason]]" or the equivalent, or just "translated from Swedish Wikipedia". But we also greatly prefer on English Wikipedia that the article's talk page also has a template linking to the original. So, after you create the article, create the talk page with the template, mentioning the word "attribution" in your edit summary. {{Translated article|sv|Helgi Skúlason}} is the syntax for the template for this article: you put in the prefix for the relevant language Wikipedia and the title over there. Please remember these when you get unblocked, if you do any more article translating; under the license, attribution is required for any copying within Wikipedia. (It also helps others check the accuracy of the translation!) Yngvadottir ( talk) 21:18, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
When will my block be lifted? Because it sucks to not be able to edit.
But of course I Understand. User:XerxesFalcon 16:43, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Now I understand why I was blocked, and I'll be better behaved so I'd like to know when I'll be unblocked. User:XerxesFalcon 12:47, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
XerxesFalcon ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
Because I feel that I learned my lesson, and am sorry for any inconvenience, so I feel I've been blocked for long enough. I am a good Wikipedian and don't intend to cause any inconvenience or to misuse the site, so blocking me in the first place was a complete oversight. Furthermore, I don't intend to be problematic and many of those edits were made in good faith, so the whole problem wrongly suggests that I misuse Wikipedia. I even sent an unblock request.
Decline reason:
"I've been blocked long enough" is far from accurate if you continue to display the same WP:DIDNTHEARTHAT attitude that led to your block in the first place. Asserting that the original block was an "oversight" is a non-starter. I will be very very clear because you don't seem to be absorbing the seriousness of the concerns raised that led to this block; in order to be unblocked you will need to demonstrate that you understand, specifically, what led to your block and lay out a detailed plan as to how you will avoid the same issues moving forward. You will need to do so via UTRS, however, as I'm revoking your talk page access. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:52, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Even though I clearly don't intend to be problematic, I feel like this whole thing was blown out of proportion. User:XerxesFalcon 21:28, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

We're two weeks post block and we're going around in circles as you cannot seem to grasp why you continue to be blocked despite plenty of good faith and clear explanations from other editors on this page. In order avoid a net time sink, please direct further requests to WP:UTRS. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Pick one or the other. One unblock at a time. Tide rolls 20:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
If you don't stop creating new accounts (e.g. User:XerxesFalcon BLOCK APPEAL) your chances of an unblock will drop to pretty much zero. Appeals need to be made via WP:UTRS and a reviewing admin there may restore talk page access here if you are able to compose a genuine GAB-compliant request demonstrating an understanding of your block. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:53, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia admins
I'm here to explain why my block is no longer necessary, that I understand why I was blocked from editing, and I promise to make productive contributions once unblocked. I also promise to never again be disruptive on the site, because now I feel that I abused my privileges to the point where I was blocked and had those privileges taken away.
I am sorry if my actions were disruptive and have caused you and other Wikipedians any inconvenience, because I never intended for any of my edits to be disruptive. I have also explained that I was autistic and that situations where I was punished stressed me out a lot.
And also, I sincerely apologise if my unblock requests were in any way invalid or offensive, because I feel that I abused the talk page to the point where my access of it was revoked. I am also very sorry for creating multiple accounts which has greatly reduced my chances of being unblocked. That was selfish of me to do so. :(
I have read the guide to appealing blocks and I can safely say that I feel that my block is no longer necessary because I am sure that I can make productive contributions to the site, and not be disruptive or misuse the site again in the future.
All I am saying is, can you trust me to be a good Wikipedian again? :)

The article Rick Resa has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

So, after you create the article, create the talk page with the template, mentioning the word "attribution" in your edit summary. {{Translated article|sv|Helgi Skúlason}} is the syntax for the template for this article: you put in the prefix for the relevant language Wikipedia and the title over there. Please remember these when you get unblocked, if you do any more article translating; under the license, attribution is required for any copying within Wikipedia. (It also helps others check the accuracy of the translation!) Yngvadottir ( talk) 21:18, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
When will my block be lifted? Because it sucks to not be able to edit.
But of course I Understand. User:XerxesFalcon 16:43, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Now I understand why I was blocked, and I'll be better behaved so I'd like to know when I'll be unblocked. User:XerxesFalcon 12:47, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
XerxesFalcon ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
Because I feel that I learned my lesson, and am sorry for any inconvenience, so I feel I've been blocked for long enough. I am a good Wikipedian and don't intend to cause any inconvenience or to misuse the site, so blocking me in the first place was a complete oversight. Furthermore, I don't intend to be problematic and many of those edits were made in good faith, so the whole problem wrongly suggests that I misuse Wikipedia. I even sent an unblock request.
Decline reason:
"I've been blocked long enough" is far from accurate if you continue to display the same WP:DIDNTHEARTHAT attitude that led to your block in the first place. Asserting that the original block was an "oversight" is a non-starter. I will be very very clear because you don't seem to be absorbing the seriousness of the concerns raised that led to this block; in order to be unblocked you will need to demonstrate that you understand, specifically, what led to your block and lay out a detailed plan as to how you will avoid the same issues moving forward. You will need to do so via UTRS, however, as I'm revoking your talk page access. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:52, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
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.
Even though I clearly don't intend to be problematic, I feel like this whole thing was blown out of proportion. User:XerxesFalcon 21:28, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

We're two weeks post block and we're going around in circles as you cannot seem to grasp why you continue to be blocked despite plenty of good faith and clear explanations from other editors on this page. In order avoid a net time sink, please direct further requests to WP:UTRS. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Pick one or the other. One unblock at a time. Tide rolls 20:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
If you don't stop creating new accounts (e.g. User:XerxesFalcon BLOCK APPEAL) your chances of an unblock will drop to pretty much zero. Appeals need to be made via WP:UTRS and a reviewing admin there may restore talk page access here if you are able to compose a genuine GAB-compliant request demonstrating an understanding of your block. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:53, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia admins
I'm here to explain why my block is no longer necessary, that I understand why I was blocked from editing, and I promise to make productive contributions once unblocked. I also promise to never again be disruptive on the site, because now I feel that I abused my privileges to the point where I was blocked and had those privileges taken away.
I am sorry if my actions were disruptive and have caused you and other Wikipedians any inconvenience, because I never intended for any of my edits to be disruptive. I have also explained that I was autistic and that situations where I was punished stressed me out a lot.
And also, I sincerely apologise if my unblock requests were in any way invalid or offensive, because I feel that I abused the talk page to the point where my access of it was revoked. I am also very sorry for creating multiple accounts which has greatly reduced my chances of being unblocked. That was selfish of me to do so. :(
I have read the guide to appealing blocks and I can safely say that I feel that my block is no longer necessary because I am sure that I can make productive contributions to the site, and not be disruptive or misuse the site again in the future.
All I am saying is, can you trust me to be a good Wikipedian again? :)

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.
