Your closure of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of notable surviving veterans of World War II (2nd nomination)

It is considered inappropriate to close a deletion discussion you have participated in, see WP:NACD. I suggest you undo it and wait for someone else to close the discussion. TompaDompa (talk) 19:36, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Surviving Veterans of World War II

Don't you just love working on an article (for my case, for over a decade, only to have (Personal attack removed) say 'it pleaseth me not, delete'? Bkatcher (talk) 15:32, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I have been blocked for disputing the rightfulness of an AfD discussion closure. If I chose the wrong means to do that, the accusation of having created a vandalism-only-account, i. e. the reason for getting blocked, would still be unfounded. Due to the fact that I created this account primarily in an attempt to prevent what I perceived as vandalism from other users, I feel obliged to contest this categorization being diametrically opposite to my self-conception. Renewal6 (talk) 13:00, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You repeatedly reverted a valid close of a deletion discussion - that is clearly disruptive. You do not offer any assurances that you will not engage in similar conduct in future. In this context, I am declining your request. PhilKnight (talk) 14:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Renewal6 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I genuinely apologize for having repeatedly reverted a closed discussion and accept that it was not only inappropriate, but even counterproductive. Secondly, I assure that I have learned my lesson and have become more sensitive, so that I won't act in a similar disruptive way in the future. Finally, along with the hopefully reasonable arguments in my first appeal, I would also like to reject the suspicion of having created a sock puppet account: I had been a casual non-registered editor for several months, before I decided to create this account mainly in order to improve the quality of that one specific article. I engaged in the AfD discussion, because I thought my arguments were reasonable and the Misplaced Pages community could benefit from them. If that isn't persuasive to any administrator, I will gladly live with it and won't make a further appeal considering the blocking of my account to be as unrightful as the article closure that appears to me based on a misinterpreted consensus. Best wishes to every reader who seriously bothered to understand my point of view! Renewal6 (talk) 21:38, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Accept reason:

On the understanding that you are ready to drop the stick about the WWII veterans AfD. – Joe (talk) 04:46, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

@Bbb23: I'm minded to unblock based on the above. Obviously Renewal6 chose the wrong way to challenge to my close, but they wouldn't be the first person to get over-invested in an AfD, and there seems very little risk that they will do it again now. Do you have any objections? – Joe (talk) 22:48, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
@Joe Roe: I don't believe the user, but that may be cynical on my part, so if you wish to unblock, that's okay.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:52, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Edit warring

Please see my comment at User talk:Chicdat#Disruptive editing. Thanks. --Blablubbs (talk) 13:04, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you.

I just found the list of living centenarians and see how recently you edited it. 7 hours ago!! WOW! This page #1 was very helpful. #2 this page is FASCINATING! WOW!!! I want to dive down this rabbit hole and read everyone's story here. The entire concept of the page is brilliant: 'Known for reasons other than being old.' (Paraphrased.) This page had such an impact on me, I immediately had to reach out and thank you for all of your hard work. Please extend my gratitude to anyone else who has contributed to this page.

I've never interacted inside Misplaced Pages before; please forgive me if this is not the correct place for such a communication.

While I'm here, please know that Misplaced Pages is my favorite place to go to answer my questions. Honestly it's the most trustworthy resource in my opinion. I will follow link after link after link for definitions, citations, further resources, etc. This is my favorite place to wander and purposefully joyfully lose myself.

Especially for a lay person like me, your transparency when information does NOT have proper citing gives me confidence regarding how well this vast amount of information is vetted and internally policed. The work you all do is truly astounding. The love and pride you all have for this resource is obvious and appreciated - valued.

Every day .. every hour this site impacts and enriches lives.

Thank you to all of you who participate within Misplaced Pages. I should have said thank you years ago. 2601:642:4102:CC60:B0A5:8A69:C272:547E (talk) 19:35, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Gustav Gerneth again

A month afterwards, we're having this again? I don't know how many times I have to say this, Misplaced Pages editors have interpreted "night of 21 October" as "in the early hours of 22 October" as was the case with two others. 🐔 Chicdat   12:06, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
