I only have the whim to edit every few years, so I usually just created a new username each time then forgot about it. I have forgotten the passwords for my previous usernames (most of which I have forgotten as well, although I could probably track them down) and I never set up any password retrieval system. I have never tried to game a debate through sock puppetry, nor am I a single-purpose account. I personally feel unqualified and/or uninterested to contribute meaningfully on a wide variety of articles. Useitorloseit (talk) 17:52, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template_talk:Succession_box#RfC has a discussion on succession box usage.

Request reason:

Please include the original unblock request.

Accept reason:

Unblocked per community discussion at [1]. Please try to not let all the people who had their faith in you down. My personal advice is to back out of disputes when tempers get high even if you care a lot. Especially when you care a lot. That's what I myself do.

I've tweaked your block to allow editing this page - please confirm it's really you. I can post your request to WP:AN and start an unblock discussion, but a more verbose request explaining what was wrong before and how you're going to avoid it in the future would improve your chances (from your current request it's less clear ). Max Semenik (talk) 17:59, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's me. Let me know if you need more verification. I added to my post. If you could go to AN with this, I'd appreciate it. Useitorloseit (talk) 22:33, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MaxSem: Not sure if you saw my expanded post above. Could you let me know whether my request will move forward or not? Thanks. Useitorloseit (talk) 18:33, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, lost track of this request. Here we go: WP:AN#Useitorloseit unblock request. Max Semenik (talk) 21:16, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Chillum:. I have no idea what the rules are for discussing your own Standard offer, so strike this if improper, but in answer to your questions: the sanctions were a 1RR rule, and as far as I know there was no discussion leading to my final block (former admin Secret deleted my block evasion sock post at RfA then Rjd0060 indef blocked me).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sarah McDaniel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kevin Parker. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please could I ask u why u removed the lead sentence in Jack Nicholson's article about Dril? It's notable since there is already a Wikipedia article about him, and relevant as it shows Nicholson's place in popular culture. There was a source from a book describing Dril's notability, I see no reason for its removal. 92.10.13.209 (talk) 16:45, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think the blurb was notable enough to belong in the lead section of the article. Perhaps in the body of the article in a "legacy" or "influence" section. Useitorloseit (talk) 18:39, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
