Due to being hounded, harassed, and tag-teamed on and off-wiki by several users. I will prove that the good always win by coming back soon. is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Misplaced Pages soon.

March 2012

You knowingly uploaded a copyright violation, claimed it as your own work and used it to impersonate another living person. This is unacceptable. I have waited a couple of hours to allow you to provide an explanation, but so far you have failed to do so. As a result, I have just blocked you indefinitely. Salvio 09:42, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:

I made a mistake. The image was deleted within 10 minutes per own request and an indef block, with no previous blocks seems harsh. I have almost 1000 constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages, and I repeat, I apologise, I made a mistake. PaoloNapolitano 09:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Accept reason:

The copyright problem has been separately resolved on Wikimedia Commons where an administrator there has explained why this is not acceptable and warned your account there. Taking this out of the block rationale leaves us with impersonation, which is reasonable to conclude that you meant as a joke rather than with any malicious intent for the subject. You have provided a reply that Salvio was asking for. I am revising your block to 24 hours in light of these considerations and to give time for the inflammatory drama relating to this block that many other accounts have contributed to on ANI to subside. --Fæ (talk) 10:28, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I agree that blocking you after the violation has been rectified seems problematic, but could you explain what you meant by using this picture? Max Semenik (talk) 10:21, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

TBH, I really don't know. I did something stupid, and I apologise for that. I never had any malicious intent, and I swear that it will never happen again. I can also suggest a voluntary WR topic ban. PaoloNapolitano 10:29, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Fæ, thank you so much. Please note that many of the contributors to ANI had a conflict of interest in the case, by being WR members. PaoloNapolitano 10:32, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Probably advisable to take a break from worrying about WR for a bit, try to avoid digging a hole for yourself. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 10:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:

Fæ wrote in his explanation that "to give time for the drama to subside". The discussions are now closed, so I would kindly ask to have my block lifted with immediate effect. Thank you. PaoloNapolitano 17:14, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

It's already been reduced to 24 hours which I think is fine. A break is good for you - go and do something else! Secretlondon (talk) 20:43, 4 March 2012 (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.

You need the break, seriously.

You saw I declined your block request and responded within 5 minutes. You need a break dude, seriously. I'm certainly not hounding you but I'm concerned. Go offline, go and play games, do something else. You'll burn out this way. Secretlondon (talk) 21:16, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
