I'm gonna do you a favour and not get involved, otherwise you could be accused of WP:CANVASSing help. Just follow the rules and you should be ok. - wolf 13:29, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hey, Thewolfchild. Thanks for the welcome.
- I read the
that guidance. If I understand correctly, it appears that asking for advice isn't a violation of that policy page. I didn't ask you to turn away the user's changes. I asked you for advice for three reasons. 1. You seemed to be a film and biography user. 2. You've edited both the Pitt and Jolie pages (albeit the Jolie page says you only made one edit there). 3. I've seen other film users ask for advice or assistance on one another's talk pages. The user I asked you about just got
another warning from a user who warned them before. I've tried to talk with the user. Other users have tried to talk with them. No luck. I'll follow the
this guidance and try to engage
WT:FILM. If WT:FILM is no help, I'll try to engage
WT:FILMBIO. If that's no help, I'll just let it be.

- I didn't make any accusations, it was just a friendly heads up to let you know about the policy. Regardless of what you did or didn't say, if you're in a disagreement with someone, and you post about it on another user page, don't be surprised if that other person starts to scream "Canvassing!! Omigawd!! You're canvassing!! You cheating SOB!" ...and so on and so fourth. It's been done before. It can be used to distract from the actual content dispute, and if it ends up at ANI, and you get the wrong the admin on the wrong day, well... it's possible that the end result is the content dispute doesn't go your way, and nothing will make sense. Just be aware, and be careful. Like I said, just a friendly heads up. - wolf 07:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

edit conflict) Oh, and also be wary of
forum shopping. -

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice:
{{
unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the
Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.
Earlier this year, the Arbitration Committee dismissed a case involving Flyer22 Frozen ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) after receiving a credible report that that editor had passed away. Members of the community expressed condolences and Flyer22 was added to the "Deceased Wikipedians" page [1].
The Arbitration Committee subsequently received off-wiki correspondence alleging that Flyer22 had not actually died and explaining the senders' basis for reaching that conclusion. The Committee takes this issue seriously and looked into it as thoroughly as we could within the bounds of appropriateness.
We must ask editors to bear in mind that while the Arbitration Committee can be privy to some evidence that cannot be shared on-wiki, such as checkuser findings, the scope of our responsibilities and authority is still limited. We are a committee of volunteers who are elected to help solve disputes arising on a website. Our authority and responsibilities do not include conducting forensic investigations off of the site. For example, in connection with the current allegations, someone sent us documentation purporting to reveal the identity of Flyer22, and suggested that we investigate, perhaps even reaching out to that person and members of their family to determine whether and when the identified person had passed away. It would not be appropriate for the Arbitration Committee or anyone else to do these things, and we have not and will not do so.
It is, however, possible to take action with regard to the SPI relating to accounts that have edited in recent months. The following have been blocked following traditional SPI investigations:
- ApproximateLand ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Bio Flex ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Daner's Creek ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Film Bio Legacy ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Gender Roamer ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Kaseey ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- LearnerB ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Raining Parade ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- RandoBanks ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- RazTazz ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- ReaperRoe ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
- Ren Ten10 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
The editing by these accounts is improper independent of the circumstances concerning Flyer22. Accordingly, these accounts have been blocked. The person or persons behind these accounts is required to cease editing. Any concerns about further accounts may be posted to an as-yet-to-be created SPI page that the committee should have posted shortly, or e-mailed to the Arbitration Committee.
This is a difficult situation for many Wikipedians. Some key facts still are not known, and behind every username there is a real person. We ask that everyone please treat it with sensitivity, proportionality, and decorum.
