Your email[edit]
...seems to have slipped through the cracks: your case was looked into, but we never responded to you. I'm no longer on ArbCom so I can't deal with it, but I bumped up the thread and have asked the new member of ArbCom to look into it. Please accept ArbCom's apology: we should not have let this slip by. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 18:32, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Unblock appeal[edit]
Response to unblock appeal #20391 from the "Unblock Review Team":
I have unprotected your talk page to enable you to start the unban process there. You should include text that you would like to be put to the Community with a request that an Admin post at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AN. You should follow these instructions.
Thank you,
Just Chilling English Wikipedia Administrator
Per the above I would like to include the following text to be put to the Community with this request that an Admin post it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AN.
Marshallsumter (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Reasons for unblock are
- the block is no longer necessary because I understand what I am blocked for, I will not do any of the "intent not aligned with Wikipedia's mission" per User:lifebaka again, and I will make productive contributions instead,
- Wikiversity provides a more than ample environment to write lectures and laboratories using original research and/or synthesis. I have no need nor desire to contribute to Wikipedia in this regard.
- Per User:lifebaka: "you will need to either stop or finish your research before you can be unblocked". I have finished my v:Dominant group original research with respect to such articles I created on Wikipedia. See v:Dominant group/Proof of concept.
- The block is no longer necessary because I understand what I am blocked for: I will not commit any "copyright violations" per local en:Wikipedia policy again, and I will make productive contributions instead.
- Per Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks: "Earn back our trust by proposing improvements to articles or proposing firm steps you will take so the [issues] cannot happen again." Each of the fields that I have contributed to in the past have project pages such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Astronomy, Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics, Wikipedia:WikiProject Geology, Wikipedia:WikiProject Volcanoes, Wikipedia:WikiProject Palaeontology, Wikipedia:WikiProject Genetics, Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry, Wikipedia:WikiProject Biology, Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups, Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology, Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthropology, Wikipedia:WikiProject History, and many others. Perhaps the easiest and best way for firm steps I will take so the issues cannot happen again is to suggest any changes, improvements or new articles first on these project talk pages to get consensus, review and/or guidance.
- I would like to import many of my currently deleted articles to Wikiversity. This can be accomplished in two ways: (1) I can request a short term undelete by a sysop as I do now on commons of the sysop who deleted a file to import the article, or (2) I can request a short term undeletion of an article by email so that I can import it with its edit history to Wikiversity.
Accept reason:
I have unblocked you per the AN discussion.—CYBERPOWER (Chat) 18:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
