March 2019[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. 331dot (talk) 22:53, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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 was unaware of Wikipedia's policy regarding legal jargon. I have no intention on taking part in any legal action and only said what I said out of frustration. I have been a great editor on Wikipedia for over 7 years and have never been blocked. I ask to be given a second chance and unblocked. March 2019 (UTC)

- I an not an expert in copyright laws so I tried in good faith to the best of my knowledge to upload free image content. Regarding the Luke Brugnara page, I have repeatedly reverted countless edits by a vandal who is Blanking whole sections of the article and adding false statements and POV bias opinions because he personally dislikes Mr. Brugnara. I contacted Wikipedia hours ago to have troll banned but got caught up in the heat of the moment and inadvertently threatened legal action against the vandal. I have no intention whatsoever on the legal threat and was unaware of Wikipedia's policy on that. I have faithfully edited Wikipedia for well over 7 years and was only trying to stop a disruptive troll/ vandal from containing the attacks on the Brugnara page to smear his reputation. Joshualeverburg1

- - Private investigator? Absolutely not. That is crazy on the face of it. As I said I was just trying to slow down or stop the vandalism until an administrator got on the situation. I personally don't know Mr. Brugnara but admire his business career and followed his trial closely through 2015. The information removed by the vandal came from a large number of editors over a 10 year period. Joshualeverburg1

Decline reason:

Content disputes are not WP:VANDALISM. Referring to other editors as vandals when they are no such thing constitutes a personal attack. Yes, you've retracted the legal threat, but you've made it much worse. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 05:15, 6 March 2019 (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.

After seeing this originally at AIV and then ANI, I looked into it a little. I recommend that any admin considering unblocking first look at their edits to Luke Brugnara; there is some problematic editing going on here, and I would not be surprised if there is some kind of conflict of interest. Also they keep uploading the same images, which keep getting deleted. Perhaps a topic ban from Luke Brugnara, and a topic ban from uploading images? --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- And maybe Adolf Hitler too. That's admittedly going back pretty far, but... yikes. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:26, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So are you or are you not "currently conducting a private investigative search to determine the identity of this vandal for legal action."? And what exactly is your relationship to Mr Brugnara? Yunshui ^雲 _水 23:32, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So we have established that you believe it is permissible to lie and claim that you are engaged in real-world legal action in order to try and get personal contact details about an editor with whom you are in a dispute. Whether the legal threat was real or not, that sort of approach is utterly incompatible with Wikipedia's collegiate editing process. I strongly endorse Jpgordaon's decline.
