Hello. I am following up on my appeal #14791. Apparently, I was blocked from contributing several years ago. I had been trying to correct misinformation to the biographical page for my former employer at his request.
Though I do not believe I did anything wrong, I am more sensitive now as to the process that Wikipedia uses to prevent misuse. I would greatly appreciate being allowed to contribute again. Thank you for your patience. Regards, G. Casey Boston MA
I wonder if we should put in a strong recommendation against using chatbots to craft unblock requests. --jpgordon 𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 14:32, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
ChatGPT: Decline a user block appeal on Wikipedia on the grounds that the appeal was written by an AI engine

Dear [User], Thank you for submitting an appeal regarding your block on Wikipedia. After careful consideration and review, we regret to inform you that your appeal has been declined. This decision is based on the fact that your appeal was written by an AI engine, which goes against our guidelines and policies for user appeals. Wikipedia strives to maintain a community-driven and human-centric environment where users actively engage in discussions, contribute their knowledge, and address concerns. While we appreciate the advancements in AI technology, the use of an AI engine to compose an appeal contradicts the essence of genuine human communication and participation. We encourage you to take an active role in your interactions on Wikipedia by expressing your thoughts, concerns, and arguments personally. Engaging in discussions with other users, demonstrating a willingness to understand and adhere to our policies, and contributing positively to the community can help in resolving disputes and potentially lead to the lifting of any block imposed. Should you have any further questions or require clarification regarding your block, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to assist you and provide guidance. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, [Your Name] Wikipedia Administration |
Given that Jimbo Wales has surrendered his powers, is he still able to hear appeals of bans he made as this guide states? 331dot ( talk) 15:59, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
I feel that it's unfair for a long time Editor like kiwi Jaden to be blocked, he or she mY have done something wrong but I believe in second chances Vegawolfdog ( talk) 16:21, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
It looks like my ISP is blocked under a Range block. This gets super annoying whenever I forget my password. Apparently, Password reset function is also blocked when the IPs are blocked. Is this intended? It sounds like a weird punishment if it is. Can someone clarify what can be done to fix this? -bssasidhar- >Talk Page 08:32, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
