User talk:DootSkull

DootSkull is currently experiencing an unforseen spike in depression, which may affect his Wikipedia editing in various ways. He may have difficulty with:

altered perception when making editorial judgements, determining consensus, or reading Wikipedia discussions addressed to him;
reduced availability on Wikipedia during times when He experiences issues;
limited capacity to respond to other Wikipedians via talk page or email messages in a timely fashion, to participate in conflict resolution, or to complete his usual workload of Wikipedia tasks.

Thank you for your understanding.

DootSkull is suffering from COVID-19 (Omnicron Var.). This may affect his ability to work on Wikipedia. Consequently, he may not be able to respond to talk-page messages or e-mails in a timely manner. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Different varieties of English[edit]

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Homebuilt computer, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 20:40, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ok, thanks. D o o t e d . (talk) 15:50, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warning users[edit]

Not sure what you were thinking at User talk:92.5.101.196. I was warning that user for introducing deliberate errors to an article a week ago, and they haven't edited since. There's no reason for you to immediately give them a further, second warning for the same article.

See WP:WARNVAND for details on how Wikipedia's warning system works. Belbury (talk) 16:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

160.178.225.126 (talk · contribs) is also free to blank their own talk page if they wish, under Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. You restored the deleted comments and gave them a warning for vandalism. I'd recommend holding off on using warning templates if you're not familiar with how Wikipedia works. --Belbury (talk) 16:09, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I really know how to use wikipedia.

I also read that page.

November 2023[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Widr (talk) 22:59, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOPUNISH exists for a reason. D o o t e d . (talk) 23:38, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request[edit]

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).

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

Request reason:

I was not aware that they were disruptive.

Decline reason:

In that case, WP:CIR applies and we'll need to leave you blocked to protect the project. Yamla (talk) 23:08, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Did you even read that page?

[edit]

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).

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

Request reason:

Blocker gave no warnings to warrant a hard-block.

Decline reason:

There are significant concerns regarding your current ability to edit Wikipedia in a productive way that doesn't cause disruption to the project. Not everyone who wants to contribute has the required skills. It would be best to wait some time, whether it be a few months or years, before you try again. Being useful and editing constructively on a on a sister project is a good start if you would like to return here in the future. Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:22, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Not enough warnings to warrant hard-block. D o o t e d . (talk) 14:48, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

There is no requirement for a certain number of warnings or any warnings at all, depending on the situation. You were disruptive and the block is necessary to prevent it, especially since you are seemingly unable to tell us how you were disruptive. I suggest you stop talking about process and start talking about your disruptive actions, and what you will do differently. 331dot (talk) 17:01, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
