Hey there,

[edit]

It's been a while since I was last up here, I have traveled a lot and made a lot of photos in Wikimedia Commons.

@Z1720:, @Oshwah:, what do you think about my current status? Grandmaster Huon (talk) 22:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to return to this site when I graduate from college. But I am learning how to write from the best here. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 22:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I started out as an IP editor and mainly edited articles within my whim and didn’t follow a pattern but then decided to delve deeper on how this public work is written. That was how I became familiar with people who ran Wikipedia like the administrator Oshwah, who I often looked up to for his integrity and gentle demeanor. I soon learned about the benefits of creating an account on Wikipedia (like editing semi-protected pages) and decided to create an account. I then started my own account on Wikipedia under my current name, and I chose to make a little interesting quip to Oshwah’s talk page about how he resembled the painter Bob Ross. I did not want to offend, but was blocked for perceived disruption. That scared me off Wikipedia for a while. I wanted to get back on Wikipedia, but School and Study commitments prevented me from returning. In the meantime, I did study Wikipedia policy and tools for editing and maintaining Wikipedia easier. (That is how I learned about redwarn and twinkle) I decided to return to Wikipedia after I had completed all my general education requirements and had a newfound desire to “trim the fat’ off Wikipedia. That is why I initially decided to nominate for deletion articles that I believed could be merged onto more notable ones, as some deletion requests of optimus prime articles have led to merges to the main article. I wanted to be bold and decided to nominate them all in one go because I would be afraid that I might forget to nominate them in the future, thereby preventing these articles from being streamlined. I was also initially concerned about the redundant SPI templates and I believed that these message templates were not taking the element of SPI seriously and treating it as a game. I was met with backlash regarding these statements for being too rash with my deletion requests. That made me much more careful regarding the handling of more high profile articles such as that of game consoles and high-profile games or essential templates. I then scanned for other articles that were poorly written and had subject material that was not notable for a general audience so as to not repeat the same debacle as before. I believed that these nominations would be uncontroversial as they would involve fictional characters that were not very notable and would be an easy culling, but I did not anticipate further backlash from the long time it would take to review and generate consensus, regardless of how notable the subject material would be. I chose the transformers articles because the subject itself was really notable from the pop culture influence from the cartoon and the recent live action films, but I believed that the majority of articles covered by the topic were of poor quality and were not notable, having extremely fancrufty articles that were unlikely to pass GNG along with good articles like the transformers live-action films would not look good to not just readers of Wikipedia searching up about transformers, but to Wikipedia as a whole. As opposed to G.I. Joe which far less people care about, and their mainstream forays into film have been commercially unsuccessful. Even though some of my edits were problematic, that doesn’t discount my major improvements. I have done to cut down fancruft in the Optimus Prime and Megatron articles as well as adding citations and making more descriptive pictures and captions in the Super Nintendo article. I also added improved gameplay depicting images to high-profile interactive media work articles such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros Wonder. My Anti-Vandal work: As I had been originally blocked as a perceived vandalism-only account five years back and already facing scrutiny over my previous disruptive nominations, I decided to counter vandalism with tools such as huggle and the auto wiki browser, which required rollback permission. I talked to oshwah regarding granting rollback rights to me, but refused since he believed that I needed more experience with countering vandalism. I decided to give it a go when I decided to become a recent changes patroller, although some edits were mildly problematic, they were because I was inexperienced with patrolling vandalism and the vast majority of my reversions were beneficial in maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. The only major templates for discussion I decided to initiate was that of Infobox Transformers, even then it was for the desire to remove redundant fancruft and streamline the ability to contribute to Wikipedia. Even then, there was consensus to merge or delete this infobox in favor of Infobox Character · Regarding my Files for discussion nominations: As these nominations were not of the articles themselves, they were substantially less disruptive, they often had legitimate reasons to be deleted, the thanos files I had nominated were to ensure that non-free media in Wikipedia is used to a minimum and as a last resort. I stopped nominating them and instead turned my efforts to transformers articles, which were suffering from inappropriate use of non-free content on Wikipedia and I decided to nominate extraneous non-free files without justifying commentary, they were not as disruptive as before. · How to avert the situations that had me sanctioned from returning: Turn my main userpage into a to-do list of articles that need help or discussion with and deal with them one day at a time, that way I would not have to be compelled to mass nominate articles in a way that could be considered as disruptive. I would also suggest that the developers of twinkle provide a one day throttle for deletion requests, as to prevent new users from falling down a similar trap as I did. Dealing with counter vandalism work is tricky, so I will always defer to more experienced editors and be more careful when reverting, I already have a good relationship with Oshwah since I got unblocked, so I can always talk to him regarding countering mala fides. Indeed, competence is required on Wikipedia, but competence must be acquired too, I had just restarted editing after 5 years so my bold actions may have been executed in a way that might have fallen short of Wikipedia’s understandably strict standards, but with proper guidance, any new editor can gain experience to rise to the heights of editors that have been worked hard to help create the encyclopedia that billions around the world trust for information. I am no exception to this rule. Thank you for taking my unblock request into consideration, I am eager to rejoin this awe-inspiring community once more.

Decline reason:

This wall of text, plus an extended conversation below, does not give me confidence that the user understands why their actions led to the block. Furthermore, they were blocked just over a month after their last block was lifted. My advice to Grandmaster Huon is to take a couple of months away from English Wikipedia (and if they really want to edit, they can edit at Simple Wikipedia or in another language). Then, when they are ready, they can open another unblock request that addresses specifically (and succinctly) what they did wrong and how they will avoid that behaviour in the future.

Request reason:

I have waited more than 6 months as provided by standard offer. During that time, I have made substantial contributions to wikimedia commons. I have disabled my twinkle to ensure that my contributions would be on editing first, not on maintenance, as what I did wrong was not following procedure regarding deletion of wikipedia pages. I will defer to the experienced editors for vandalism patrol while I focus on primarily improving articles that have significant issues. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 17:14, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You mention your contributions to Commons, but you've spent three of the last four months blocked there for substantially the same thing that got you blocked here. That doesn't really fill me with confidence that anything has changed. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:59, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GH, can you please restore your prior unblock request per WP:KEEPDECLINEDUNBLOCK. Your new request would be stronger if you give some context for the block, since the point of the unblock template is to solicit input from admins who won't know the context.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for WP:CIR and disruption including poor AfD/TfD/FfD/MfD nominations and bad patrol reverts. I think it's time you come clean on past accounts too..
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 ~~~~}}.  -- ferret (talk) 18:53, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
