There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Nigej (talk) 18:01, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

August 2023

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for violating your topic ban from "preparation"-type edits. Given the apparent deliberateness of the violation, the recency of the sanction, and your previous blocks for disruptive editing, I have imposed a longer block than I normally would. And given that it is very easy to not make this kind of edit, future violations should likely result in an indefinite block per WP:IDHT. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Misplaced Pages's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- Tamzin (she|they|xe) 18:28, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Johnsmith2116 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was called by a concerned editor in Misplaced Pages about this block and they recommended that the block should be taken away for two reasons.

First, I did not even know about any such violation, if I had known, I would not have made the edit in question. I should not be penalized with a block for a violation I did not know.

And second, the topic in question concerns something that has to do with loading a grid for leaderboards, leaderboards which will end up being loaded in a matter of days anyway when they will be loaded with the leaders, and this was not an issue at all in previous versions of the page including last year; take a look at this example from last year. You will see that no one attempted to remove the leaderboard grid even though it was put there several days in advance. ... https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=2022_FedEx_Cup_Playoffs&diff=prev&oldid=1104124428 ... You see that no one had a problem with it. And why would they? It was going to be used in a short time, so it was natural for it to be there.

So, there are two things happening simultaneously; the disallowance of a grid for a leaderboard which will be there within a few days anyway (which was always accepted up to now), and penalizing me for putting that grid there as a violation which I did not even know about anyway. I would not have done that grid KNOWING it was a violation. And the fact that suddenly a grid is not supposed to be there, is not rooted in logic anyway, because, in a few days' time, when the leaders need to be put into the article, they cannot be put into there unless there is a grid there to put them into in the first place. For these things I am requesting to be unblocked. I had not even known about the block until someone had brought it to my attention, and it took my be surprise because of my not having any idea of a possible violation; the pink box at the top of this page says "seemingly deliberate violation" but that is not accurate at all. I would not deliberately violate. And the fact that loading in a needed leaderboard is somehow a violation in the first place boggles the mind. If it is, suddenly, that important to the community to not have that grid in there a few days in advance, then I will not put it in there in advance, but I do not think I should be blocked for this because of my not knowing about it suddenly being a violation; the Fed Ex Cup pages traditionally had the grids loaded long in advance. Also, we editors have had our differences over time, but this situation took me by surprise and I had no idea about this. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 04:28, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.
