Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 71.78.136.217, made test edits on the page Dihydrogen monoxide parody which have been reverted or removed. If you did this, please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to perform. If 71.78.136.217 is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Tips on starting your first article
• Help pages • Tips
• Introduction to Wikipedia

Here are some other hints and tips:

• I recommend that you get a username. You do not have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
• When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit the Teahouse, our help forum for new users, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

SPI

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Visaa11. Thank you.

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Visaa11 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Visaa11. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you believe that 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 ~~~~}}.  Izno (talk) 00:48, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to appeal, see Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks. If you do not understand why you were originally blocked, see [1]. Janhrach (talk) 16:32, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I vow not to appeal, as both of you have shown, in my eyes, that Wikipedia thinks all users are expendable. Even if you continue to block me as I try to contribute to this encyclopedia: my heart will still put archaic Cyrillic and Touhou in a special place, one that you probably don't have reserved for anything.

Oh, and at this point you should probably just do a partial block for the article namespace, as you have shown that a full block isn't going to cut it. ~ 71.78.136.217 (talk) 20:14, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno pls :3 71.78.136.217 (talk) 15:14, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Expendable could refer to various things. Wikipedia does not tolerate unconstructive edits in articlespace. This is not an offense that would warrant an immediate, indefinite, irreversible block. You had been warned before the block, after all... Appeals (WP:OFFER) for blocks for similar mistakes are not infrequent.

Also, blocks or bans of highly active editors (including admins) have been frequently enacted since the founding of Wikipedia. There generally is a consensus that good contributions do not outweight problematic behavior. This is not that much about individual actions, as it is about the culture these actions lead to. This is why I reported this IP to WP:SPI. It was not because I were fanatical about enforcing the policy. You either accept our conventions (WP:APPEAL/WP:CLEANSTART) or retire; dishonesty to the community is not an option.

Regarding your block, you were blocked solely for the reasons listed here. You were not blocked for editing too much. The block was not anyhow related to the topics you have chosen to edit.

In short, I believe you can make many improvements to the encyclopedia, but you need to accept that you have erred, and return to Wikipedia properly. (Here I would stress all three points of Wikipedia:Standard offer#The standard offer.)
