Unblock Request 2019

Technophant (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I would like to make another unblock request. I have a block for sockpuppetry and topic ban in alternative medicine. I've made 3 unblock requests, detailed on my last archive page.

As per Standard Offer, I promise to never again edit as an IP again nor create or use an alternate account and follow all civility and conflict resolution guidelines. If I choose to contribute to controversial topics, I will respect consensus, and make proposed changes in talk pages. I haven't edited in a long time, almost 4 years, and I don't expect to go back to being a frequent contributor. The quality of most pages is very good and there's little that needs to be changed. What makes me want to have privileges again is seeing out-dated or incorrect pages and wanting to make suggestions. If I get back into trying substantial revisions I would focus on start and stub pages.

Asking for admin help to get this request in compliance and placed on the notice board.-Technophant (talk) 00:09, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. I have copy-pasted your request here where the community will discuss it; if there's a consensus to lift the block, I expect that will be done without you needing to use {{unblock}} again. Sorry that the response for the copy-pasting was so slow. Huon (talk) 20:24, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Huon, acknowledging that I'm following this by means of talk page email notifications. The link for the AN section is here. My old userpage is ] My request was made 3 weeks ago. Is there a reason this is taking so long? Technophant (talk) 17:16, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I will also try to answer some questions I expect will come up: "What has changed and what will you do differently?" More than 3.5 years have gone by and my body is more than half way through replacing all of my cells <jk>. A lot has changed. I spend less time on the computer. I've moved to from San Antonio (boring) to Austin (exciting). I'm learning how to play new musical instruments and almost finished with my demo. I've gone through many years of therapy and programs and a good deal calmer. "Are you appealing the topic ban or just the block?" Both. I had some ownership issues with the acupuncture page because I used to keep it updated with my earlier username. I was dismayed to find that it had been taken over by what seemed to be a cabal of users who had an agenda. I accept that acupuncture lacks scientific evidence of effectiveness, however, it's also being widely recommended as an effective alternative to opioid use. As with all articles, there needs to be a focus on accuracy, formatting standards and presentation without bias. "What are the top 3 topics you intend to edit?" Science and techology, music and musical instruments, and history of the United States. Technophant (talk) 17:39, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Usually someone looks at requests in a timely manner, and copying this over should have been easy enough, but there's no guarantee since we're all volunteers and there's currently quite a backlog of open unblock requests. I found it when trying to close some of the oldest ones. So the reason why this took so long likely is "a combination of bad luck and overworked admins". Huon (talk) 21:51, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I need an experienced editor's help to update my AN unblock request for me. I am restricted to talk page only. BTW: doing this is not considered wp:proxying. ty Technophant (talk) 18:00, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I'll copy it over. These type of things can take a little time. -- zzuuzz 18:06, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Unblock

Hello Technophant, following the discussion at WP:AN your account has been unlocked per Special:PermaLink/886794600#Unblock_request_by_User:Technophant. As part of the unblock condition, Technophant may not edit logged out (as an IP user). Technophant may only use additional accounts that are clearly labeled as alternative accounts for good faith reasons (such as an AWB account, or creating a bot account). The existing topic ban remains in place, and may be appealed following 3 months time from now and at least 50 non-minor mainspace edits. (The general consensus above is that there should be both a wait and a trial period, actual edits are required to demonstrate this. Welcome back, — xaosflux 16:06, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
