@331dot: I will just wait out the week, and I understand I need to use social media for that but how does this error constitute a week block? that's more of a "please don't do this on wikipedia" message. 140.228.176.180 (talk) 02:18, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the block to be removed, you need to 1) demonstrate that you understand what was wrong about your actions and won't repeat them(which doesn't require an apology, just an acknowledgement) and 2) tell us what you want to edit(since blocks only prevent editing). You haven't done these things yet. If you would prefer to wait, that's fine. 331dot (talk) 07:48, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{ping|331dot}} I feel in this case a WP:BEFOREBLOCK should have taken place. I didn't know I couldn't express opinions on here and didn't mean it as vandalism. Several sources uphold my opinion of the page as well. I agree to not express my opinions here moving forward. 140.228.176.180 (talk) 02:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have extended your block to one month. Come on. --Yamla (talk) 09:56, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was supposed to be a week. 140.228.176.180 (talk) 18:40, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: So what prompted the other admin to extend my block to a month? I don't think that was necessary because I was just asking questions as one should when you need clarification.140.228.176.180 (talk) 16:58, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, @Yamla:, if you feel an explanation would be helpful here. Daniel Case (talk) 20:36, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Blocks are preventative. Your edits were blatantly inappropriate and given that you keep on claiming they weren't, I felt the need to extend the block. This is my opinion independent of Daniel Case's statement above, but I think his statement is bang-on: "This request evinces a battleground mentality and tendentiousness that suggests to me a strong possibility that, if unblocked, you will soon end up right back here pleading for unblock again." If instead you are able to convince a reviewing administrator that you truly understand why your edits were blatantly inappropriate and convince them that you won't edit in that manner again, I'd support them unblocking you. So far, you've worked pretty hard to demonstrate Wikipedia is better off not letting you edit. --Yamla (talk) 20:55, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have a proposed change for the same page I disrupted. There needs to be a section added for The Rise of Icarus. Unless we wait until after its completion to add that information; I'm not sure of the procedure for new work being done on an existing place. I have a source for that information as well.
Additionally, I'd like to change the wording of the brief description of the Atlantis area. It currently says "Children's play area" I would like to change that to simply "Water play area".
And finally, The Almighty Hermes appears to be a former attraction so that needs moved into the proper category. I do have proof for that, it is no longer listed on the park map.140.228.176.180 (talk) 15:24, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are not permitted to solicit others to edit on your behalf. That counts as block evasion. --Yamla (talk) 15:26, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What can I do then? I have a useful edit but I can't do that right now. 140.228.176.180 (talk) 15:27, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You have access to this talk page solely so you can contest your block. You are absolutely correct, you can't do any edits at this time, nor can you attempt to evade your block by having others edit on your behalf. --Yamla (talk) 15:28, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So I have a useful edit that I want to make and your immediate jump is "OH block evasion?" I wanted to write my ideas down in a reply here to show others that I can have useful edits. 140.228.176.180 (talk) 15:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You have access to this talk page solely so you can contest your block. No other reason. --Yamla (talk) 15:31, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the follow up but when can I ask the questions above? I'm asking these questions because I want to be of use here once my block is up. I want to follow correct policies in place for editing once I am able to this is why I am asking. I am drafting the section on Icarus while I am waiting for my block to be lifted, but this is why I asked the questions that I have asked here. I don't want my work to be for nothing. Thanks for understanding. 140.228.176.180 (talk) 17:27, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you pinging me? --Yamla (talk) 15:27, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies I forgot to in my original reply. 140.228.176.180 (talk) 15:28, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which as an added note here, the admin assumed I was asking someone else to make this edit on my behalf. This is not the case, I wanted to write my ideas down I should have stated that in the original message. 140.228.176.180 (talk) 15:40, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@UtherSRG: Would you mind explaining how my unblock request is not enough? I have addressed the following clearly above in my unblock request. I don't understand what else you are looking for. I understand what I did was wrong. I understand the disruption it caused. I understand that it is a misuse of a resource. I even outlined a change I would like to make after I am unblocked so please help me understand why I am still being declined. Thanks 140.228.176.180 (talk) 03:40, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
