Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. This can be also done through this helpful user script: User:SD0001/DYK-helper.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages[edit]

Thank you for your recent articles, including Capture of Tanker Tuapse, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:35, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:15, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Block[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for personal attacks or violations of the harassment policy. Note that, as it stands, I'm inclined to just partially block you indef from the 1987 Lieyu massacre, so that you could only use the article talk page (Talk:1987 Lieyu massacre) to make proposals. That's because the WP:BATTLEGROUND from you is too acute. I also feel compelled to note that I've seen Horse Eye's Back be called anti-PRC like a million times, but never pro-PRC. But it's a brave new world, I suppose. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}.

El_C 20:47, 7 March 2022 (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).

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

Request reason:

Good evening, Sir, hereby cannot agree with the alleged charge for the following reasons:

I have never treated an article as the "personal property" throughout the past seven years as Mr. Horse Eye's Back accused, but only contributed the supplement data with facts and notes of citations to the historical cases as per WP:POV without making personal opinion or comment in the articles. The referred page constantly suffers from deletions or twisted phrasing from anonymous as WP:NOTHEREor other viewers unfamiliar with Taiwanese history, or the former KMT regime supporters as the MND still denies the occurrence of mass execution on civilians till now. Being probably the only English Wikipedian and an former 158D member not involving in the crime at the time but knowing about this case, I was able to identify and correct the errors in real time as per WP:CUV, then he continuously accused me WP:OWN non-stop, even after I have repeated clarifying my stands multiple times for WP:NPA but he never accepted. The major argument started from his mass-deletion on all the dozens of international law references (which is essential parts to learn in this case) in the "See also" section for his stylish reason WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT without accord, following by stalking me for WP:EW to the moment, hence I could no longer assume him WP:GF, but only to keep from his routine trolling, harassment and provocation on purpose.
Unfortunately, your excellency does not know about Taiwanese situation either and took the picture out of context, "Chinese nationalist" in Taiwan is referring to the right-wing "Deep blue" supporting Chang's KMT regime, who mis-used the anti-communism doctrine actually to achieve the dictatorship ruling, and exactly why the crime of Lieyu Massacre occurred during the Martial law ruling in 1987 in the first place. "Deep green" refers to Taiwanese supporting the left-wing DPP government for "Taiwan independence", (such as the New Power Party in this article); and Mr. Horse Eye's Back is by no means a "green" at all, by seeing that he cannot even allow the other editors claiming the difference between ROC and Taiwan during his long-lasting dispute history in Wikipedian forums. I did not refer him as a "pro-PRC" or an "anti-PRC", since PRC have never been a topic of the discussion in this case, and has nothing to do with my stand for the basic human rights and the refugee treatment - why do you assert such a claim as what I said, Sir?
Anyway, today's argument starts from the an abuse of multiple tags WP:VANDTYPES question on WP:OR and WP:NOTRELIABLE without comprehending the cited sources clearly therefore ignoring the referred Facebook publication actually being legitimate WP:SOCIALMEDIA - the veteran and on-duty participants before the lunar New Year in January include the university professor accepted the DPP government's assignment as the investigator in charge, Editor-in-chief of the military publication being a secondary witness himself, one of the convicted captain, three 3C sergeants at the first scene, dozen of 158D soldiers, and ROC Armed Forces officers - even the former Minister of National Defense, General (Ret.) Feng Shih-kuan made two comments in condolence. There has never been such an open gathering online for this case discussion in the history for the past 35 years. Would you think their open statements as non-reliable and unacceptable? or the revelation should be banned from Wikipedia? Only the KMT's Chinese nationalist supporters would demand so to cover up as longer as they can, definitely not a "deep green" conduct.

Based on the above concerns, hereby humbly request to unblock this account. Thanks for your attention, and hope you have a good night. Mickie-Mickie (talk) 23:52, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 00:33, 8 March 2022 (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.

Mickie-Mickie (talk) 23:52, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your current block is for personal attacks. Your block is unlikely to be reverted unless you address this in your unblock request. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 00:08, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
