Please
Ferien I just lost my cat yesterday please don't make things worst for me today. Suy eks to a hi eu a hi e (talk) 15:39, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Suy eks to a hi eu a hi e: That's disappointing to hear, I hope you're doing ok. But regarding your edits... Please follow the English Wikipedia guide to appealing blocks. You have little to no chance of getting unblocked over on the English Wikipedia if you are messaging people here - or on any other wiki. In fact, it just reduces your chance of being unblocked. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 15:41, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Why don't you edit on English Wikipedia? Suy eks to a hi eu a hi e (talk) 15:42, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Logged out editing(?)
Hi Ferien, I hope that you're doing well. I noticed that an IP is editing User:SportsOlympic/sandbox/61. Do you think that this is logged out editing or not? Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 16:55, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Hockeycatcat, doing ok but a little busy due to exams. It might be logged out editing, but logged out editing isn't forbidden, unless it's used abusively. Regards, --Ferien (talk) 18:25, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
