Hello, GeekyDave, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

I thank you for your concern and for welcoming me to the Wikipedia community. I apologise for being banned and disappointing you GeekyDave ( talk) 15:35, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

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.

Ruy I’m so sorry for messing up. Im awfully sorry as recently my life has been on a rollercoaster and didn’t know about the rule about social media. GeekyDave ( talk) 16:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

I believe that I was previously banned for an illegitimate reason as I was genuinely trying to help the patball page by adding information which it was lacking. I also admitted to my sock puppet because I believed I would be forgiven. Admittedly that was wrong as I should’ve appealed but I am a relatively new memeber to the community and wish to be actively helping (the appeal process wasn’t made accessible to find).

Thank you for your concern and hope this reaches you well. I believe with such mOderating Wikipedia shall become a prosperous place free of vandals (of which I am not)

Accept reason:

I'm not really sure what's going on here, but it's obvious that you've got two accounts: this one and Chicken256. Wikipedia's software has a feature that will automatically block any IP address a blocked editor uses. I've disabled that on your other account, so it shouldn't cause you to experience trouble editing from this account. If you've got any other accounts besides that, please just stop using them. Stick to using this account. The rules on sock puppetry are a bit complex, and it's easy to run afoul of them. You should probably read through our rules before you get more involved in editing. Unlike most websites, we are actually serious about expecting people to read our rules, and we do enforce them. You can see some pretty basic explanations above in the "welcome to Wikipedia" message. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 18:21, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

I also believe I was blocked for treating Wikipedia as a social media site, please elaborate on what this means please. I now realise I can’t do that and meant my page to be humour (if I remember correctly) and didn’t know the humour tag to exist GeekyDave ( talk) 15:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

This account is not blocked, so what block are you appealing? Note the difference between a ban and a block, the terms are not the same. 331dot ( talk) 17:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

And what is your relationship to the Chicken256 account? 331dot ( talk) 17:03, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

I made it as a new start to try and help in Wikipedia GeekyDave ( talk) 17:31, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

May I also know how long my ban is? My profile is locked so there must be some sanctions GeekyDave ( talk) 17:32, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

My sanctions may be for my making of a ‘social media’ page which I believe was a bit much. Sorry GeekyDave ( talk) 17:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

Your user page was deleted, but this account is not locally blocked. If you are saying that there is a global lock on your account, you must appeal to the stewards at [1], we cannot handle that locally. 331dot ( talk) 18:07, 20 July 2022 (UTC) reply

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

Hi Chicken256, I noticed that you accidentally created a sockpuppet account, so here is what you missed a month ago.

Here is a little summary of how it works.

The 32 teams have 7 rounds to pick 7 players, which starts from the worst team picking first to the 18th worst team. This is where it gets tricky to comprehend. the 19th-32nd teams are the teams who made the playoffs. So lets make a fictional playoff bracket that is entirely false and is legitimately impossible to happen.

AFC

Bye: 1. Buffalo Bills (14-3)

7. Jacksonville Jaguars (9-8) L at 2. New York Jets (14-3) W

6. Kansas City Chiefs (10-7) W at 3. Baltimore Ravens (13-4) L

5. Pittsburgh Steelers (11-6) W at 4. New England Patriots (13-4) L

NFC

Bye: 1. San Francisco 49ers (13-4)

7. Washington Commanders (10-7) L at 2. Dallas Cowboys (13-4) W

6. Carolina Panthers (10-7) L at 3. Los Angeles Rams (12-5) W

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11-6) W at 4. Detroit Lions (11-6) L

So it goes from losing Wild Card teams records then the worser seed if they are in the same conference. Then they follow these rules:

• Head-to-Head, if possible
• Best W-L-T percentage in common games (up to four) (what common games are is like how fictionally the Rams and the Panthers both faced against the Cowboys in the regular season)
• Strength of victory in all games
• There is more rules, but it is almost impossible to have to use them, with the last one being a coin toss.

19. Jacksonville Jaguars

20. Washington Commanders

21. Carolina Panthers

22. Detroit Lions

23. New England Patriots

24. Baltimore Ravens

Next is the divisional round. It will always be the lowest-seeded team against the highest-seeded team, second-lowest, second-highest, yadda yadda, same rules for the Conference Championship.

AFC

6. KC Chiefs L at 1. Buffalo Bills W

5. Pittsburgh Steelers W at 2. New York Jets L

NFC

5. TB Bucs W at 1. SF 49'ers L

3. LA Rams L at 2. Dallas Cowboys W

So then it follows like this:

25. Kansas City Chiefs

26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

27. Los Angeles Rams

28. New York Jets

Next is the Conference Championship, I think you get it, but just in case...

AFC

5. Pittsburgh Steelers L at 1. Buffalo Bills W

NFC

5. TB Bucs L at 2. Dallas Cowboys W

It follows like this:

29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

30. Pittsburgh Steelers

Finally, it is the Super Bowl

Dallas Cowboys W vs. Buffalo Bills L

It then goes like this:

31. Buffalo Bills

32. Dallas Cowboys

Whew!

Knock knock!

Who's there?

The off season.

The off season who?

The off season which makes things more difficult.

Oh! What's this?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wants to get Patrick Mahomes even though they have Tom Brady?

Apparently they got Mahomes for their first draft pick in the 2023 NFL draft, which we know is the 29th selection, and they also got rid of their 2024 first rounder, which we do not know what they will get, a 2024 third rounder, a 2024 seventh rounder, and a 2025 first rounder, and a 2026 first rounder. It also says the Chiefs wanted to get the 2027 second rounder but they could not, as teams can only trade their future draft picks after the draft, up to three years, while prior to the draft, it is two years max they can trade that pick.

Teams are free to trade picks for picks, picks for players, players for players, picks and players for picks, etc.

For example, there were 25 different revisions in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.

I don't know how to end this so I will just end it here. Sportsfangnome ( talk) 4:12 am, 20 July 2022, Wednesday (1 month, 6 days ago) (UTC−5)[ reply]
