'''Notice:''' I have renewed my IP address and created another account from which to edit and bypass my block. My block was unjustified and I was not given benefit of [[WP:AGF]], so I will disregard it and continue to edit Wikipedia from my new account.

Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and [[Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism|all users are encouraged]] to revert, warn, and report vandalism.

{{unblock reviewed|1=It should be noted that English is not my first language, so in the edit where I changed "heroine" to "heroin," I thought I was reverting vandalism and correcting the spelling, which I know was wrong and that I should be more careful if I'm not completely sure about a word. I have some history of helping anti-vandal efforts, and this is the only edit I've made that I would think to be vandalism. My other recent edits have been reverted by the blocking admin ([[User:Slrubenstein]]), although I'm not sure why all of these can be considered vandalism. Slrubenstein had misunderstood my intentions when I posted a proposal on [[Talk:Jesus]], and the block occured ''after'' I [[WP:AGF|asked]] where I could best accomplish my request, which should have shown that I was not necessarily intending to troll, as Slrubenstein originally accused. I am a little bit familiar of the process of issuing user warnings, and I feel I was not sufficiently warned that my actions were nearing the point of being blocked. Not to mention being blocked for a month. I feel that is a little bit extreme. I can source at least some of my recent edits that Slrubenstein reverted, and I think I should be given a second chance, and, if possible, sufficiently warned of an impending block in the future. Additionally, I feel I should also apologize after reading some of Slrubenstien's comments with [[User talk:Chensiyuan|Chensiyuan]]. If it means anything, I am sorry, and I realize a lot of people seem to be misinterpreting me.

::I'm sorry, I did not mean to sound defensive. However, Slrubenstein was wrong in many of his assumptions against me, and if it is self-condemning to argue this rationally and calmly, then this was a predetermined outcome and I was not given merit. If you read carefully my comments, and do your research, you will discover that my edits were only slightly "disruptive", but was never warned of an impending extended block. Instead, Slrubenstein decided to assume bad faith when I was, in fact, only ignorant of policy. In my comments, I apologized and expressed that I do not intend to continue because I do now understand policy completely — I do so again now.

:This block may be a bit much. However, your behavior on [[Talk:Jesus]] has been inappropriate, and is really the root cause of the block. Obviously Wikipedia is not going to accept things in the Bible as ''fact''. Many people have tried to explain this point to you but you seem to be unwilling to listen or unable to understand. This is what you need to address before any unblock could be considered.

To be clear - the comments on the talk:Jesus page are only 1/3 of the root cause for the block. |

* This user is not a newbie (account created eleven months ago) and should already know and understand our core policies. The proposed edit to the Jesus article was in flagrant violation of our policies and the problem is NOT English as a second language, it is '''disruptive editing''' to '''make a point''', both violations of behavior guidelines. Let me also clarify: Andrew c ''explained'' to this user that s/he needs to read our core content policies and not to propose edits that are entirely contrary to our policies, and this user ''continued'' to argue for the proposed edits. It is this disregard (1) for our policies and (2) for the good-faith and well-intentioned advice/instructions of an experienced |

virtually all other edits this editor has made fall into two categories: |
|||
::I may have created an account 11 months ago, but did not edit for a large part of that. Also, I have never done anything wrong ''after'' I was told that it was wrong. Also, I do realize why my proposal was not accepted on [[Talk:Jesus]], however I was mad about it. However, I did ask if there were other Wikipedias in which to express my views. If my frustration showed a little bit, I think it is understandable, but it was nothing more. However, that does not mean I intended to continue discussing it; on the contrary, I fully understand why my proposal was not accepted and why it was not in favor with policy.

* ''creating'' talk pages for anonymous IP addresses in order to place vandalism warnings. These are pointless warnings that serve only to create new user pages ''when there is no new user'', just the IP address of someone who was playing around. This is not the way to handle random vandalism. The user suggests s/he has "some history of helping anti-vandal efforts" but this history is almost entirely a history of inappropriate actions; above Slakr gave a very gentle, do not bite the newbie mild critique of the inappropriate way s/he was "helping" with vandalism. |
|||
::Respectfully, you are wrong. If I created talk pages, it was because the user or IP had vandalized. I wasn't creating pages for the sake of creating pages. I also disagree with "inappropriate action": I am saddened because it appears proper research wasn't done into my vandal-fighting history, and it seems it was used as a reason for this block. The vast majority of my warnings were justified due to vandalism, with only a couple where I had accidentally warned the wrong user (I caught one of those, and reverted my warning and apologized immediately). Secondly, I had been using the "The is your only warning" template due to my desire to express the severity of what I feel vandalism is. I was then advised against using the "only warning" template and have not done so since. I am saddened that this would be used as a reason for blocking me, as I simply did not have knowledge that the "only warning" template was not to be used. I was not told before I was told! I have personally rechecked my edits and compared it to the edit histories of the vandals I have warned, and in all but a couple of cases, the user indeed vandalized, based on my understanding of our definition of vandalism. Slakr was wrong, I did not make a report to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Therefore, I was confused by this and did not understand what he said or why he said it. He might have been talking about me using the "Only warning" template, now that I think about it and now that I know this is wrong. Before, I did not understand.

* a ''host'' of silly edits to articles virtually all of which were immediately reverted. These edits involve adding trivial or nonsensical information without any source. They just force a serious editor to revert and waste time. Above this user says s/he was not given sufficient warning. But just ''look'' at this talk page, and look at ''all the warnings for nonsense edits!!'' This user has been warned, plenty. S/he just won't stop. I am amking a final attempt to address this user in good-faith by not banning him/her permanently, as I have some suspicion s/he is just trying to game the system (if English is ''not'' your primary language, you just do not go around "correcting" English spelling-mistakes, certainly not without a dictionary ... I do not buy this implausible excuse). But the 1 month block is my attempt to deal fairly and reasonably and in good faith with a potentially useful editor. |

::I have traveled around the world for many years and lived in Austrailia, the United States, Europe, Japan, and Canada. I have not editing anything that I do not know to be true. Like I said, I am eager to provide sources for some of the edits that were reverted, and see if I can find websites for as many as I can. However, I've done some edits to Japanese towns but do not know japanese so I doubt I will be able to translate. From policy, I thought it was good to be bold and add something when something is true but cannot immediately find a source for. I read somewhere that having it in there gives other people a chance to find a source for it. ABout my language, I am fairly good at English now, but I do many many mistakes. Some of this is cultural mistakes. Many times, I have a dictionary and sometime I use an online translator. Sometimes my husband helps me, like he is right now.

And there you have it - virtually all edits this editor has made at Wikipedia. This person is just not ready to help write an encyclopedia. I suggest that s/he use the next month constructively, by studying our core policies and looking at featured articles to see how our core policies are actually expressed, and by researching topics s/he really cares about - serious research, reading reliable sources of notable views, so that when s/he returns s/he ''can'' contribute to articles without being reverted every time. A month is not too long to wait, especially for someone who clearly has a lot to learn. In the meantime, unblocking just means this editor can go back to using Wikipedia as a personal playground for disruptive edits. No, the block should stay. |
|||
Colleanthegreat, if you ''genuinely'' want to help write an encyclopedia, spend the four weeks reading and rereading our core policies, just read and learn how people work on articles, and research topics you really care about, research them ''properly'', so when you come back you can edit and your edits will actually help the project rather than hinder it.

Given you willful disregard of the nine warnings given you by almost as many other editors to stop making nonsensical edits and violating NOR starting 19 October - you were warned 9 times over a five month period and up to the day I blocked you you continued making dozens of nonsense NOR edits at a time to as many articles, I am utterly unpersuaded by your plea to be unblocked. Those warnings didn't work to change your behavior; if you are unblocked today the block just amounts to another warning. It is time you really took seriously your probmlem and our being tired of letting you play games here. You can show evidence of taking this seriously by accepting the block and really thinking about what you did - I don't just mean all the silly, pointless, NOR or POV edits, I mean ''why you consistently disregarded warnings and advice to comply with our policies over the past five months''. If you want to keep blaming Enlgish being your second language (if indeed it really is; everything you have written sounds like it was written by a native English speaker, and we have plenty of editors who speak English as a second language who do not change [[hero]]ine to [[heroin]] ... and what - you deleted a link made by an editor without looking to see where the link went to, and you replaced it with a new link and you didn't even bother to see what you were linking to? That shows a massive lack of good faith in other editors, and I really am skeptical of your excuses about being a non-native English speaker ... you need to start taking Wikipedia's policies and its editors seriously, and given your repeated disrespect over the past 5 months I think a one month block is generous) ... if English really is your second language, spend the month working on your English and then return to Wikipedia a better editor.

:I was not warned 9 times; I don't know where you are getting that number. Also, you are counting the warnings seperately as if I had been warned, then repeated the edit, then warned again. In fact, I had made a stirng of edits, or made a series of edits over the same topic, and was warned seperately of each edit after the fact. I also contacted the editors who warned me for clarification, and reached agreements, or looked into their warning and did not repeat what they warned me for. I am truly dismayed by the lack of research being done into me; it seems that I am being assumed to be a bad-faith editor, unjustly. You say: ''" and what - you deleted a link made by an editor without looking to see where the link went to, and you replaced it with a new link and you didn't even bother to see what you were linking to? That shows a massive lack of good faith in other editors''" - jumping to a seemingly unrealted conclusion (that I assume bad faith) makes your comment itself a violation of [[WP:AGF]], as I understand it. I have conceeded that this particular edit is vandalism caused by my lack of understanding about English and apologized. I did not click the link, correct; that was bad judgment that was not at any time repeated, nothing more. At no other time have I vandalized, so I would like to put that edit behind me as I have apologized and explained myself several times now. Jayron32 says I have showed no desire to cease my edits; I have directly apologized, expressed that I have read policy fully, explained my train of thought on each of your criticisms of my editing, promised to improve my editing, and promised to provided sources as demanded by [[WP:V]] and [[WP:RS]]. If this is not enough, I will say it in more explicit terms: ''I am very sorry. I fully and completely understand why my edits were objected to; I intent completely to stop; I understand policy completely and am willing to prove it.'' Once again, I am very disheartened by how this is being handled. I feel I have been judged before I speak. My unblock request was looked at with suspicion despite my good faith efforts to comply with policy and discuss rationally the situation, as well as express my apologies and understanding. Instead, I have been treated wrongfully and not given proper attention or research. All of my editing was simply assumed to be made in bad faith; I was not given any leeway or room for doubt. I am very dissapointed by Wikipedia's handiling of this situation; I have not been granted equality in these discussions and [[WP:AGF]] is not being used here at all. Slrubenstein, I diserve to be treated with as much respect as anyone else; the fact that you did not advise me that I was going to be blocked, but instead assumed bad faith and blocked me ''for a month'' only 10 minutes after another editor [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASlrubenstein&diff=194158452&oldid=193786779 advised you not to unless "paths cross again"], at which time I had not edited for several hours. You should have specified that my edits violated [[WP:V]] and [[WP:RS]] because I was not providing sources. At that time, I had already been noted of my unknowingly wrongful use of user warnings, and had stopped. In your very first dealing with me in your warning about my proposal to Talk:Jesus, you immediately assumed bad faith towards me, calling my comments "silly attempts to proselytize others." First, while I did not know what this word means, but it is clear that you never gave me the benefit of the doubt. My proposal was innapropriate, I now know this; but this was no reason to block me. In my other editing, you have assumed bad faith at every turn, probably because you went into your research with a preconcieved notion that my core intent on Wikipedia was to "proselytize others". This is a great tragedy, and I am saddened. I wish only to improve Wikipedia. [[User:Colleenthegreat|Colleenthegreat]] ([[User talk:Colleenthegreat#top|talk]]) 01:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 02:31, 29 February 2008
Notice: I have renewed my IP address and created another account from which to edit and bypass my block. My block was unjustified and I was not given benefit of WP:AGF, so I will disregard it and continue to edit Wikipedia from my new account. Thanks to all who have supported me and I hope I am treated with neutrality as I continue my efforts on Wikipedia. Colleenthegreat (talk) 02:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
