Let's talk!

RfD nomination of Patty Aubrey change

An editor has requested deletion of Patty Aubrey, a page you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Please comment on the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2023/Patty Aubrey and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also change the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns. But you should not remove the requests for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you very much. --IWI (talk) 09:51, 21 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Blocked over use of not simple enough language change

 

This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators said no to this unblock request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not unblock the user without a good reason. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

I understand that I made a mistake using content translation. While I did copy some of the articles from the English Wikipedia, I also wrote some articles myself. I was exctied and still am about volunteering and making the Simple English Wikipedia more approachable and abundant about authors, primarily English authors. Please advise. Thank you!

Decline reason:

Using the content translation tool to copy pages from other wikis into userspace is acceptable. I am declining this unblock request as the reasons given for unblocking don't address the reason why you were blocked. You were blocked for this reason. You are welcome to submit another unblock request that addresses this reason. --Ferien (talk) 18:29, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

It looks like you got a checkuser block, not a block for using content translation. Pinging Operator873, who did the block. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, Auntof6! -AllThisPaperwork (talk) 08:32, 14 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I do not intend working against the rules of Wikipedia or create any abuse whatsoever. On the contrary. I ran an Edit-a-thon at my place yesterday, which may have triggered some concern? I have no clue, please advise. I read thoroughly all the links related to Template:Checkuserblock-account and I still do not understand. Please look at the content of my edits and please advise what I should do differently. AllThisPaperwork (talk) 21:30, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

A checkuser block means that evidence has confirmed you have abused several accounts (using more than one account for bad reasons); this would have to be addressed before an unblock request can even be considered. Best, --IWI (talk) 13:16, 15 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Unblock review change

Hello. I'm the CheckUser that blocked your account and the other accounts you created. The main reason the accounts were blocked is you have a tendency to copy/paste articles from the English Wikipedia with little or no simplification. You should review WP:HOW before doing any further edits here as you'll notice this is the Simple English Wikipedia. That means our articles should be easy to read with simple words. You'll note this project is NOT called Copy of the English Wikipedia so the pages here SHOULD NOT be copied from the English Wikipedia. I'm willing to unblock the accounts you created if you are actually a teacher. Another resource available to teachers here. Please be aware if you or any of the accounts you created begin copy/pasting from English Wikipedia without simplifying the content to meet our project's standards, I will reblock all of the accounts.

@Operator873 I really appreciate this. This is going to be useful for us as ESL is important for us as some of my students are bilingual and only learn English as their second language. I'm going to make sure that, along with my students, I will oversee the simplification of English. Is it ok if I ping you personally to help me set the correct level of our the articles that we are going to make? Thank you very much
