user talk:Nothing444/Archive2

I've blocked you. You do not appear to be here to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. The main reason for this block is because of you creating a new article with content taken from Amazon, which is a very serious legal problem. You are also causing disruption because of your edits, such as moving the Random Article Button back into the template namespace despite the MfD which was closed with the intention you move the content to your userspace rather than it be deleted. Your edits to Ignore All Rules is problematic and the fact you have made no useful edits to the mainspace recently leave me with the impression you are not here to contribute to the encyclopedia, but to play with items in your userspace. You were given warning yesterday and before that this was coming, yet you choose to continue playing with Wikipedia. I and I assume my fellow administrators would much rather be writing content or uploading photographs instead of having to follow you around and tidy up after you, which is unfair on those of us who are here to contribute constructively and with minimum fuss.

: It has also come to my attention that you have vandalised from your IP address, then reverted your own vandalism with your account, presumably to build your edit count. This is in direct contravention of the sockpuppetry policy. Please consider that a further couple of reasons why you are now blocked. One such incident took place on March 11, to the "Today's Featured Article" (John Knox). Nick (talk) 22:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Am I? Nothing444 00:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

:If you can't come up with a reason for unblocking that addresses the reasons for blocking, probably. Mr.Z-man 00:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed|I wanted to contribute more to Wikipedia, but I can't now that I'm blocked. All I'm trying to do is make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia an a better place.|decline=This reason does not justify unblocking you, when I weigh it up against the block summary above. If you can explain the sockpuppetry/vandalism and give a good reason why I should ignore it, then I may consider it. Daniel (talk) 23:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC)}}

Nick definitely makes some strong points, and obviously a block is in order for restoring a page deleted by an MfD and all the rest. I think that indefinite is a bit strong for a first block. Is a block of, say, two weeks a possible compromise? It seems to me that Nothing444 means well--good intentions don't count for everything, no, but perhaps they merit a second chance. And N444, if the block is shortened, please consider yourself to be on probation and make some regular contributions. Recent changes patrol is a great place to start. A shorter block, whether by Nick or another admin, would not be an endorsement of your habits of continually starting new Wikiprojects and editing WP:IAR, but a chance to start over as a calmer editor willing to walk before he runs.

Daniel (talk) 04:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

:I'm open to suggestions, but the content contributions have consisted of creating new articles (Children of the Longhouse) by copying text from Amazon.com (that article will need to be deleted or re-written at some point, of course). I don't mind unblocking if there's a change in behaviour, and to that end, I would strongly suggest Nothing444 starts to write content here on their talk page, if they wish to be unblocked in the future. I certainly don't wish to keep someone who would wish to write content blocked indefinitely. Nick (talk) 07:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

::I think all us Wikipedians have the right to change. I am going to start writing real content on Wikipedia if unblocked. I am going to change. I have a little to much on userspace, so If I get unblocked, I will contribute to the real encyclopedia. Nothing444 19:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

== Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot ==

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

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 22:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I notice that you still wish to be unblocked, I suggest that you pick one of the articles above, copy the page onto this talk page and begin editing it. If you show that you're willing to contribute to the encyclopedia (not your userspace nor various wikiprojects) then we can review your block. Nick (talk) 01:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:Hmm.... Infamy, Wikipedia Watch, and Portuguese Wikipedia looks like giid articles that I can get my hands on. So, are you going to unblock me so I can edit them? --Nothing444 02:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

::Read through {{tl|2nd chance}} to see a few more details on what Nick is basically offering. - auburnpilot talk 17:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:::I too would like to see you unblocked. I think that to the new Long Island project you started to put together could be a good place to start. If you want to be unblocked, a good article for you to polish would be the one on your home town. If you're from Long Island, there's a ton of history available the hasn't yet made it's way into some of the smaller town articles. Good luck, and I'm routing for you! – ClockworkSoul 19:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Please list the mainspace edits you wish to make and/or create a draft here on the talk page as mentioned above, if you want us to consider lifting the block. VegaDark (talk) 21:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

::The following that are underlined in bold are articles I want to improve
I've chosen one article, the beautifiul Wantagh, NY. Even though Syossets the place to go, Wantagh still has the beautiful Jones Beach. Nothing444 22:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:::Good choices. Let us know when you're ready to post the changes. You know, I don't live that far from you! – ClockworkSoul 22:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

::I don't know when I'll be ready. Could you unblock me now? Nothing444 22:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:::Normally you would be required to make those changes to this page, but I've decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and unblock you now. Please stick to making productive edits only to article pages for a while to build up your credibility. Once you do that for a couple of weeks, you should be fine. Good luck! – ClockworkSoul 22:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:::There ya go. All done! Don't forget that a few people will be checking up on you from time to time. Cheers! – ClockworkSoul 23:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Great! Well just keep up the goals I posted on the page. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

:Ok - I put one more goal. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 15:01, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I see your page is back. I was wondering if I could be your co-adopter. During our last encounter, I only had 1150+. Now I have 1800+. I have also improved my userpage a little. I know this is kind of sudden but do you accept? You really don't have to. BTW, I also improved my signature.--RyRy5 talk 04:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

: Heya, Nothing! Glad to see you're out and about. Just a little note on one Wikipedia unwritten rule. It seems trivial, but it's a biggie: it's traditional not to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nothing444&curid=12116558&diff=200144513&oldid=200135226 change other people's talk comments], even for typos and grammar, and even on your own talk page. I know how counter-intuitive that may seem with us being on a wiki and all, but it's comfortably close to changing the content of people's comments, and that's... well... really bad. Just a heads up :) Hope all is going well! – ClockworkSoul 20:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. If you need any help, feel free to ask. Also, your my 5th adoptee. Most of them asked me to adopt them.--RyRy5 talk 16:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

:OK, I did...Why did you change your mind?--RyRy5 talk 20:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I really need to think about that. Why do you want to nominate me?--RyRy5 talk 23:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

:Normally, I would accept but...I think I need some thinking first. I'll tell you if I'm ready or not. I'm really honored that you think I'm a good editer. I'll ask other people for their opinions.--RyRy5 talk 23:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

::Umm...What do you mean by that. Do you mean instaed of American Idol, you changed it to Administation Idol?--RyRy5 talk 00:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

:::Thanks I guess. By the way:

I'm sorry, I can't give you rollback rights so soon after a block. You can, however, use twinkle and other tools to help rollback vandalism edits. If you contact me in around one month, I will activate rollback on your account.

Know this: declining your request has nothing to do with you. In a little while it will be safe to give you rollback rights, but right now I cannot. Sorry again, Malinaccier (talk) 01:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

:After about one month of good behavior. You can use other tools like Twinkle to supplement for now. Malinaccier (talk) 01:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

You must really want to nominate me. I'm going to have to say......No. I decided to try admin coaching first. My plans for adminship are when I have 5000+ edits and when I have been at wikipedia for at least 3-5 months. I'm going to try the RFA around the beggining of summer, you can nominate me then. Also, Stormtracker94 is also going to nominate me then too.

To remove pages that you created yourself, you can use {{db-author}}. The {{tfd}} template is for deletions that need consensus to be done. I retagged :Template:Cookiehi for you --Enric Naval (talk) 15:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, most of it is in the Scouting Office. OK, umm...Go to the mainpage, go to the scouting report on the left side. Click on edit next to the Report section. Put as a report that Nothing444 has joined the scouting business, then sign it. Any questions?--RyRy5 talk 16:06, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

:I'm also a Yankee fan...a little. I only like Derek Jeter and Roger Clemens. Possibly more. But I'm a big Red Sox fan.--RyRy5 talk 16:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
