Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Suggestion

In my experience here blanking your talk page at intervals does not make you appear to be a very productive editor. You would be better off learning how to archive your talk page instead. Use this link to find out how. Britmax (talk) 08:31, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Very true. It gives the appearance of being deceptive and uncollaborative, although nothing is truly secret here. Archiving is the preferred method. -- Brangifer (talk) 09:25, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

the block was 7 years ago, people, including myself grow up a lot during so many years and learn more about how WP works. Blueyefinity (talk) 18:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Administrator use only:

After the blocking administrator has left a comment, do one of the following:

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

{{unblock reviewed|1=the block was 7 years ago, people, including myself grow up a lot during so many years and learn more about how WP works. Blueyefinity (talk) 18:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)|decline={{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed|1=the block was 7 years ago, people, including myself grow up a lot during so many years and learn more about how WP works. Blueyefinity (talk) 18:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)|accept=Accept reason here ~~~~}}

In order to lift the block, we need to be certain that you understand how copyright works on Wikipedia. To allow the reviewing administrator to assess your understanding, please respond to the following questions in your next unblock appeal, explaining in your own words:

What is copyright?

A property right (intellectual property) which gives a person/company ownership over the things they create.

How is Wikipedia licenced?

Wikipedia is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License

Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?

Because content is copyrighted for a pecuniary purpose, while Wikipedia is a non-profit organization therefore can't access funds to pay for copyrights.

Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?

Use of copyrighted material should be minimal and confined history, identifying copyrighted works, or to complement articles about copyrighted works, and ONLY when all 10 criteria (as shown on WP:FAIRUSE) of the policy for using non-free content are met. Blueyefinity (talk) 22:54, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?

Making sure the content I'll contribute with is free of copyright, or respects the non-free content policy for use. Blueyefinity (talk) 22:26, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your answers will enable us to establish whether or not you should be unblocked. Yamla (talk) 21:48, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is close. However, I'd like you to reread WP:FAIRUSE. The problem is, any content on Wikipedia can be copied, even for commercial use, so we can't just claim "research and teaching" as fair-use exemptions. You are close, though. I'd like you to change your answer to that question and if your answer is good, I'll be happy make the case with the blocking admin that you should be unblocked. --Yamla (talk) 22:31, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
