Peter Dix wiki page
Hi there, I was wondering what motivated you to create the page on Peter Dix? Was it simply that you read the news article you cite as a reference, and decided to make a page for everyone on the Irish sailing team?
I'm curious because that article ("ref 1") does not mention his death in the Lockerbie Bombings, so I'm just trying to understand what your connection to this individual is.
Thank you.

. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:29, 7 March 2020 (UTC)- @TonyBallioni: I apologize for my behavior and I will promise to read the guide to appealing blocks. What will it take to get me unblocked? ミラP 14:33, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- If you wish to appeal, read WP:GAB and make an appeal on your talk page. Unless it’s very good, however, I’m not likely to be supportive as you’ve been unable to heed warnings in the past and find new ways to do the same thing after being warned. Any appeal would have to convince people that all the drama would stop. I believe you’re sorry, but you’ve been sorry in the past, so it doesn’t give us much to go on. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:40, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- @TonyBallioni: Thanks, I'll spend the week trying to figure out my appeal, and I promise to use "show preview". Also you forgot to block my "Miraclepine Amour II" account. And yes, I'd like to withdraw from the WikiCup even if I am unblocked. ミラP 14:48, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- In doing so, I'd like to offer you the opportunity to contribute to Scots Wikipedia where I am admin. It generally can be helpful for users to show themselves being productive on other Wikimedia projects. Sco.wiki could really use the contributors, but please only take this into consideration as a factor while crafting your response.
I personally struggle with the same issues that you have, as Tony can attest. I also personally like you and would be upset to see you file an unblock request likely to fail. (talk page stalker) –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 15:04, 7 March 2020 (UTC)- @MJL: That offer is interesting because Scots is the one language most similar to English and has a separate Wikipedia, but I already have Wikidata and the English versions of Wikisource and Wiktionary in mind, and I promise not to cause the same enwiki problems on any of those projects. ミラP 15:11, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- [Thank you for the ping] I've edited English Wikisource, and it is a pretty great place to retreat to (or was for me). The users there are rather helpful, and I'd say that might be just the right fit for you if Scots Wikipedia isn't your style. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 15:42, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

- Best, ミラP 16:53, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- I thought you were going to take a week to write this? Either way, you should read WP:GAB more thoroughly. You didn't format this right. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:08, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)@MP, FYI, but not using the unblock template is a mistake for two reasons. Firstly, it will not appear in CAT:UNBLOCK, so your appeal will remain invisible except to page watchers, and secondly, it suggests you have not, in fact, read WP:GAB as the blocking admin advised you to. ——SN54129 17:11, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- @MJL: (edit conflict) I thought It would take a week, but I guess it was quicker than I thought somehow. Serial Number 54129, fine I'll move it to the unblock template. ミラP 17:13, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Unblock request
Miraclepine (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I initially thought it would take a week, but I guess it occurred to me quicker than I thought. I would like to explain why my behavior worsened in 2020, and what measures I will take to make sure it doesn't happen again. I would like to announce that there have been some real-life issues recently that have had a negative impact on my behavior, and why I would like to limit my time on Wikipedia for a while to recover from my stress: About a month or two ago, me and my family moved to a different state. We had to move a lot of furniture and books, and the pressure of having to do all that for days has taken a toll on my cognitive abilities. Since I graduated high school, I have had very few friends to talk to and have gone on Wikipedia more often than usual. My decision to sign up for the WikiCup has made me feel too competitive and I realise that, given the demands that the WikiCup's rules call for, being in the Cup effectively impaired my ability to make productive contributions to Wikipedia articles in 2020. In 2019, I was making MEPs and British MPs the moment they were newly elected. I have decided to withdraw from the WikiCup and I promise never to participate in the WikiCup ever again. And as for my Women In Red contributions, I promise to be more flexible with when I do them. And due to the bad experience with the WikiCup, I would like to disclose that I have obsessive–compulsive disorder (see the relevant essay is here), and it has had negative impacts on both my time in Wikipedia and my time outside. I use my phone during the first thirty minutes of my night-time sleep in bed, and I've been addicted to the internet too much which has had a negative impact on my social skills. Therefore I've decided to limit my internet time for the time being. My "not an admin but might like to be one someday" UBX has made me think like an admin to the point where I got too far - you know, reporting socks unnecessarily and altering sock tags. Therefore if I am unblocked I would like to have it removed. Did I learn anything? In some places, yes. I was called out for enough WP:BADNACs that I decided to limit my use of WP:XFDC. After I was called out for replacing PRODs on those Judge Dredd articles with redirects, I limited my habits of doing them. After I was called out for altering sock tags, I stopped doing it. I thought I was doing good in the world, but following my indefinite block, I have failed to realise soon enough that I was being overconfident in both definitions of the word. Therefore, I promise to limit my time in the four administrative boards (WP:AN/WP:ANI/WP:AN3/WP:AE) to the most critical of emergencies, and even so I should ask an admin to do so. If it's a content dispute, I'll talk it over with the people involved. I regret my actions and their impact on my life, and I feel very bad for what I have done in the WP:ANI thread, and I promise not to do it again. Of course, if I get unblocked, it would have to be on some conditions given my behavior. In any event, I'm currently in my gap year after graduating high school, and I'm working with my parents to look for a college, and if I get into one my activity in Wikipedia might be limited for a long time. ミラP 17:18, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Decline reason:
It is not a good idea for you to edit Wikipedia at this time. You should focus on your real life. In addition, you need far more time to think about how you can constructively contribute to this project. You have pushed over and over again into areas where you have no business being, and each time you apologize and say it won't happen again, but your concept of what is wrong is profoundly cramped, so you then move on to yet another area and are again disruptive. You should take at least the amount of time of the standard offer of six months from now before requesting to be unblocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:59, 7 March 2020 (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.
@Bbb23: Thanks. I would like to agree to the standard offer. ミラP 18:04, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Miraclepine, I am sorry that it came to this. I had hoped for more limited restraint on you, but I was not aware of the extent of previous problems.
- But since this is where it got to, I want to echo Bbb23's advice: work out your real life issues, and only then then maybe consider Wikipedia again.
- And if you decide to return, then by far the best way to contribute is to create content. Wikipedia is overflowing with wannabe wiki-politicians and wannabe-admins, but we don't have enough content creators, and the best admins are those who have significant experience in content creation ('cos that's what Wikipedia is for); too many of those who aspire adminship lack many of the required qualities. Specialise in one narrow type of topic, and build up expertise in that area:
- Learn how to find and use the reliable sources relating to those topics. Don't just be a Google jockey; read books, and scholarly papers and newspaper archives.
- Learn how the content policies apply to use of sources.
- Learn the relevant style guides
- Above all learn to identify and work with (rather than against) experienced content creators in that topic area. Actively seek out editors who disagree with you and approach them with an open mind and willingness to learn.
- Content creators are very welcome, but wannabe wiki-politicians can rapidly run into trouble. If your standard offer request after a break is just more of the same, things are unlikely to go well for you, but if you come back with a mission to create encyclopedic content of whatever type you have chosen, then you'll have a much better chance.

- Miraclepine, you should read the page on the standard offer. You'll need to wait six months first, without making any edits. Even anonymous ones. And the admins have the right to say no.

- Fwiw. I’m of the “only use the talk page to appeal the block” school (pace Floq.) I’d suggest to both you and others to keep it to that.Also, on a purely human note, I agree with Bbb23. If Wikipedia is your outlet for RL issues that’s fine (not therapy, but it is an outlet for many people) but you shouldn’t let this project become real life. As a functionary, I have to deal with the intersection of RL and Wikipedia almost daily and it honestly sucks but I do it as a service because I truly believe in the cause. At the same time, RL is 1000x more important and getting healthy mentally is part of that. It looks like Wikipedia is conflicting with your real life ideals. When that happens, give up Wikipedia.

Miraclepine (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Hi, apologies for the delay since I needed some time to reflect back to my break from the English Wikipedia before I made this request. Although I told some people that I was going to focus on my real-life and that I was agreeing to the standard offer, I still had enough time to realize one thing I hadn't realized at the time: my reason to be on Wikipedia is to create articles and contribute content to existing ones, simply put. At first I thought I was mad about having the block, but as time went on, I came to realize that the blocking admin did the right thing, that my behavior at the time was getting out of hand, and that I take full responsibility for my actions that led to my block. Fortunately, almost two months has passed since I was sitewide indeffed from enwiki, and my mental health has recovered enough for me to contribute to Wikipedia, especially with my extensive contributions to Wikidata and the English Wikisource. That is why I would like a second chance to prove that I am now in a good mental condition to return to enwiki. I have learned several things and I have grown in several ways during the time I was indefinitely blocked sitewide: # I now understand that Wikipedia is built more on cooperating with other people than simply expanding easy access to knowledge, and that failing to do so may cause a systemic bias in Wikipedia's content or even result in losing my ability to contribute, especially when one of the two results in the other. # I now understand that posting to admin boards on stuff I don't know about leads to wasted time and puts huge strain on the resources Wikipedia needs to survive, and therefore leads to devastating consequences that hurt Wikipedia and its community. # I now understand that dispute resolution is a better solution for disputes than WP:ANI, and that not everything needs admin intervention. # I also understand that some things are better left to the experts, especially if the definition of "experts" is strictly admins or CUs or similar, and that they should therefore not be done by non-experts nor wannabes. Therefore I would like to request to be allowed to return to the English Wikipedia. MJL told me that I never would have been blocked if I hadn't focused a lot on DYK, which made me realize that I would never have been blocked if I had sticked to the one thing I know best: creating and updating Wikipedia articles. If I'm unblocked I promise to stick to that, and I also promise to be more self-aware and careful. I want to create Wikipedia articles on Japan (including anime), foreign politicians, etc., and I intend to focus heavily on creating them and updating similar existing articles. I also want to focus on my intention to improve Wikipedia articles of those topics. I have even gotten a few barnstars and a Precious for my work (#2342). Therefore I would like to allowed to edit Wikipedia in a way that allows me to create and update articles, and in a way that allows me to do DYK more often. I have a dozen more articles to make once I am unblocked, and I have several two-months-out-of-date articles to update. I also received Encyclopædius' message asking me and three other Wikipedians to join a "1000 Japan Challenge". almost certainly due to my excellent work at WP:ASIA10000, and I hereby accept his invitation. I'm very open to the possibility of mentorship or partial block or topic ban or anything that may allow me to contribute to and create enwiki articles without disturbance in case it is needed. My first choice is a temporary topic ban on categorization or posting to WP:CFD (since my creating the categories despite BHG's warnings not to and making those CFDs without doing the research led to my block) and also an interaction ban between me and BHG (need others' input before pinging), but how far to extend it is at the discretion of any reviewing admins. In any case it will be logged here. If email is enabled I promise not to use it only to give someone hard-to-access sources for working on an article (BHG told me "Don't just be a Google jockey; read books, and scholarly papers and newspaper archives", so I'm setting my sights at a Wikipedia Library account once I get unblocked) or to email role accounts should the need arise, and never to ask people to join discussions without a legitimate reason. Note that in compliance with Wikipedia's policy against block evasion I have not made any edits, be they logged-out or with a sock, during the duration of the block. Best, Miraclepine/ミラP 22:50, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Decline reason:
per this discussion, user should wait till December 18 to request unblocking under the Standard Offer. Please note unblock conditions --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 23:56, 18 June 2020 (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.
@Serial Number 54129 and MJL: I've figured out what to say to BHG. I think it would be best to ping her, right? ミラP 14:57, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra: Are you still here? Have you figured out what to do here? I've decided to apologize to BHG so I would like to ping her. ミラP 19:36, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. Your request is listed at CAT:RFU. It is backlogged. @TonyBallioni and Bradv: does this suffice for unblocking?21:34, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- For what it’s worth, my opinion is that they won’t be an asset to the project, which is my standard for actively supporting an unblock, but I don’t oppose someone else who has a higher opinion of ROPE than me unblocking. Use your judgement. I’m fine with it if you are. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:38, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra: That's okay. If you've decided what to do with the unblock request, please let me know right here. ミラP 21:50, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. Your request is listed at CAT:RFU. It is backlogged. @TonyBallioni and Bradv: does this suffice for unblocking?21:34, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- I note that your recent behavior in the Japanese Wikipedia is disruptive. From 6 May 2020 to 13 May 2020, you tag bombed over 1,000 articles. Such a behavior is unacceptable and I had to leave a warning at ja:利用者‐会話:Miraclepine#タグ爆撃中止のお願い. Reading your reply in Japanese, I wonder if you understand what I'm truly saying. I personally don't think it's the right time to get unblocked. 153.228.109.166 (talk) 22:43, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. I took a look at your message, and I stopped the tagging. I was able to understand your message, and what you said made me realize that if I wanted to survive here, I had to stick to what I know. ミラP 22:46, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Other than that, I've been very fine being productive on Wikidata and the English Wikisource and I'm asking for a second chance. I'd ping you if it works on IPs which it doesn't. ミラP 22:50, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Besides, I got my knowledge of Japanese from watching anime and writing articles about Japan topics. I still used the Google Translate tool to write said articles because it's faster and helps me learn. ミラP 23:05, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Sigh. People appealing to ROPE on their own behalf don’t give me much hope as it’s usually used as GETOUTOFJAILFREE for 6 months after, and your response makes me think the same here. I think we’d have to with wikilawyering over competence issues for the next year. You know the right things to say, but you’ve never been able to actually stop running into issues after you promise to change one thing. The IP raised a good point, and I think the ja.wiki example is probably more relevant than Wikidata or wikisource: the former is mainly used by bots and the latter is dead. The additional revelation that they’ve been trying to contribute to a major Wikipedia via google translate isn’t particularly confidence inspiring either. Anyway, that’ll be my last comment here unless a reviewing admin wants thoughts. Like I said, anyone who is more convinced than I am is free to unblock if they wish. I mean that and there really isn’t opposition in any formal sense, just skepticism having dealt with this user previously. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:07, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- His urge to say something to BHG suggests that he doesn’t get it. Everything that had to do with BHG was him getting out of his depth, far from content contribution. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:56, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- @SmokeyJoe: I did the google search because I was at the time overprotective of my creations to the point that I wanted to win, but after that block I no longer have any problem with any time her opinions differ from mine, so I would like to apologize to @BrownHairedGirl:. Also, BHG told me to gain expertise in some area, but my unblock request makes it clear I already have experience with creating articles on anime, Japan, and foreign politicians. (In case you wanna ask, an article can be related to anime and have no connection to Japan.) Also back at Wikidata I've had experience with merging The Peerage duplicate items and with mix'n'match. That's exactly what I wanted to say to BHG. I'm still interested into content creation. ミラP 01:58, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Note [1]
- Note the context, and my statement
Propose interaction ban, User:Miraclepine to stay clear of BHG. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:40, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
- If allowed back, stay clear of BHG. While apologies are nice, what it really means is you going straight back to areas where you are not suited. And it is not specific to her. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:25, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- @SmokeyJoe: That's a good idea. I still wanted to tell her something before I would do so, and I did. I'll promise to stick to what I know. ミラP 14:46, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- @SmokeyJoe: I just looked at the thread and the four evidences (one is archived here), and I find myself very appalled at my own behaviour in all of them. Guess you were right. My decision to post that thread was "frivolous, vexations, without basis", and I now realize my decision to post that ANI thread three months ago was completely disruptive. It all happened because I was overprotective of my stuff, and because I didn't focus enough on what I'm very good at: creating articles and doing DYK (ex. Barbara d'Ursel de Lobkowicz, Vilson Pedro Kleinübing, Kito Junqueira, Elena Bonetti, Kiuchi Kyō, Danzen! Futari wa Pretty Cure, Jean Delumeau (exp), Ofelia Fernández, Miyagi Tamayo, Haru Nishioka, Ruriko Aoki, Hirata Hide, Asami Tano, Hinata Satō, Coco Hayashi, Lai Pin-yu (exp), Hisashi Katsuta, Midori Katō (exp), Shugo Nakamura, Rei Matsuzaki, my Precious etc.). ミラP 19:06, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- @SmokeyJoe: That's a good idea. I still wanted to tell her something before I would do so, and I did. I'll promise to stick to what I know. ミラP 14:46, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Before I log out for the night, I’d like to clarify the "trying to contribute to a major Wikipedia via google translate" statement; I’ve actually translated jawiki articles into English here, and some of them have appeared on DYK. ミラP 05:20, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Also, i would like to state that I have never used Google Translate to make significant contributions to other Wikipedias beside the English Wikipedia (this one in fact). ミラP 14:46, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
@Deepfriedokra: I'm pinging you because two weeks have passed since the request was open. I shall now clarify and add a few more things here:
- BHG told me "content creators are always welcome", and I've created a lot of articles, particularly the examples I listed above, so I'm pretty sure I've known "[h]ow the content policies apply to use of sources" and've had familiarity with style guidelines since I started creating articles last year.
- This month, an ArbCom decision recently established 8-0 (my emphasis):
An editor's positive and valuable contributions in one aspect of his or her participation on Wikipedia do not excuse misbehavior or questionable judgment in another aspect of participation, but may be considered in determining the sanction to be imposed
, as may be done here. (PBlock? TBan? IBan?) Therefore I shall present my positive and valuable contributions in addition to the ones I listed in the unblock request:- In addition to the DYKs I listed above, I've generously DYK'ed work done by other people:
- Template:Did you know nominations/Dedham Covenant
- Template:Did you know nominations/History of anarchism
- Template:Did you know nominations/Yoga Body
- Template:Did you know nominations/Soldier Blade
- Template:Did you know nominations/Moff Gideon
- My personal favorite: Template:Did you know nominations/Harrison family of Virginia (mostly because of the April Fools joke)
- I've also worked extensively on the English Wikipedia's lists of Old Harrovians and Old Carthusians while mostly relying on digitised versions of school registers available at the Internet Archive and the English Wikisource, and I still have those draft lists of Old Etonians by occupation to finish.
- As for Women In Red, I'm a prolific contributor to #1day1woman. I still retain my intention to be flexible with my contributions to Women In Red.
- If possible, I am more inclined than before to go with SmokeyJoe's idea on an IBan between me and BHG.
- As for my contributions to Wikidata:
- I've made so much contributions there it's even exceeded my enwiki edit count; in fact I just got my 100,000th edit there a few days ago.
- I've gained awesome experience with Mix'n'match and QuickStatements, and I use the latter to mass-create Wikisource pages in cookie-cutter style.
- Even though there's no mix'n'match catalog, I also add Who's Who (UK) IDs (P4638), preferably at least a hundred a day.
- I'm merging a lot of duplicates from the Peerage (it may have been deprecated as a source here, but at least valuable parts are sourced to non-online sources like Burke's Peerage 2003 and Burke's Irish Family Records 1976) and Kindred Britain databases. I also frequent this page. I use Wikidata's search engine for a lot of maintenance tasks, for example to identify Peerage duplicates of bishops by searching "rt rev" (the prefix for bishops) and "peerage person"/"born"/"died" (most Peerage-created items have a short description with either "Peerage person ID=######" or a lifespan, but (YYYY-YYYY) is hard to search), though a few false positives there may creep up.
- Every day (preferably twice a day) I add English-language short descriptions (and less often labels) to items of recently deceased people.
- Bots apparently do a larger fraction of work there than in enwiki, but Wikidata has a big human community. It even has oversighters and checkusers; in fact we just got our first local CUs a month ago.
- As for Wikisource, it's not dead, it's still thriving with a lot of works to that need transcribing, though it does have a smaller community than Wikpiedia. At the English Wikisource I often transcribe the Alumni Oxonienses if I have time.
- In addition to the DYKs I listed above, I've generously DYK'ed work done by other people:
- I would also like to reiterate that I have not evaded this block while logged-out, especially since the last time I first said that. Now this is all I'm gonna say before I go to bed. See you in the morning tomorrow. ミラP 06:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Unblock request summarization
There are many words on this page, so let's return to essentials. As concisely as possible, please summarize what behavior led to your blocking and what you would do differently if unblocked. Thanks, --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 14:31, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra: I'm a little busy now, since I was in the middle of cleaning up Wikidata items, but it shouldn't take long. ミラP 14:45, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
-
- This is my behavior that led to my blocking:
- My desire to become an admin led me to ask an admin to protect all those banned users' talk pages and to altering sock tags after being told not to add sock tags.
- I also made several ill-conceived decisions at admin boards that wasted admins' time: a few BADNACs especially the NL19931993 incident, this, the Wintertree incident.
- After the Ipswich MPs CFD, BHG told me reasons why constituency categorisation was a bad idea, but being overprotective of my creations at the time, I still thought it was a good idea at the time and made the categories anyway. When I was given the "How often is Gladstone referred to as the MP for Portarlington?" question, I wanted to win unfairly because I didn't want the constituency categories deleted: trying to bend the rules in my favor, doing some Google search in haste, resorting to posting to ANI. All this was a terrible mistake. If I had stopped earlier, stepped away, and allowed BHG to do the CFDs, I would never have been blocked from Wikipedia.
- This is what I would do differently if unblocked.
- I would, I reiterate, like to stick mostly to two things:
- creating Wikipedia articles on Japan (including anime) and foreign politicians, and I intend to focus heavily on creating them and improving and updating similar existing articles.
- nominating eligible articles for DYK (new/5x/GA within a week), and I would like to nominate a few other people's work for DYK.
- Since I've been gaining experience with Peerage items, I would also like to consider removing/replacing Peerage sources here due to the deprecation.
- I may vote at XFDs often, especially if I improve an AFD'd article, but following my reflections on my life, I would like to leave NACs and relists to people with the best experience.
- I think this is what Bbb23 would call "things that editors without advanced permissions do".
- I will no longer pursue adminship unless the time is right, but rather pursue content creation, and my "not an admin but might like to be one someday" UBX will be removed from my userpage.
- Best, ミラP 02:38, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- This is my behavior that led to my blocking:
Unblock work sheet notes
* Well, this certainly has languished. I see no consensus to unblock. I'll be thinking about possible unblock conditions. I don't want to fly off the handle and unblock impetuously. If anyone, particularly admins, is opposed to unblocking, please post in this thread.
Anyone wishing to post unblock conditions please post here. Probable unblock conditions. Just mulling. Not formalized yet.
First and foremost, I see an WP:IBAN with the BrownHairedGirl.
Avoiding British MP categories seems de rigueur
Avoid SPI.

@Deepfriedokra: Due to my response in the above section, I also suggest a TBAN from the WIkipedia and Wikipedia talk namespaces except for discussion related to editathons like WIR and article challenges or WP:ITN (I've submitted recent deaths there, though I'm not very good at non-death events). I'm also good with RS, so possibly add WP:RSN as an exemption? Also TBAN from all pages in the "user" namespace except my own or my ALTACCT. Mentorship not ruled out yet. Remember this page. ミラP 02:38, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

- @Miraclepine: You realize you are three months early on the Standard Offer? That might pose a problem for unblock, though if you continue as you have been lately another three months it will help your chances. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 11:47, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Just a reminder to "stay clear of BHG". Sometimes efforts to apologize just reopen old wounds and make things worse. I'd leave be. The best form of apology would be to avoid her and carry the lessons learned forward. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 11:52, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra: That's okay. I knew I was early, but I still realized that I was a prolific content creator and a regular at WIR and DYK before my block (as shown with the articles and DYKs I listed), and that I may have made my decision to agree to the standard offer three months ago in as much haste as when I filed that ill-conceived ANI report that led to my block; also you did say you were inclined to unblock. I've had a lot of positive contributions to Wikidata and Wikisource (in addition to enwiki) with relatively little incident there (compared to enwiki), and my ability to create articles had nothing to do with my block. The reason I suggested the T/IBan and the possibility of a PBlock or mentorship was because of the issues that led to my block, as I stated above.
- As a compromise, I would at least like to suggest that should any T/IBan involving me be logged in this page, I should at least wait six months before appealing.
- I also took some time to write my responses, rather than do it in haste. ミラP 02:11, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I was hoping for something from Bbb23. I cannot unblock without him, and his silence implies opposition.02:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra: Based on what happened to him two months ago and this message here (especially the update), it seems unlikely we'll ever hear anything from Bbb23. I'm afraid this may be up to you. Remember what TonyBallioni said, use your judgment. I trust you with this decision because of your experience in unblock requests. ミラP 02:49, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- That's confusing. He just growled at me last week. (sigh). --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 02:55, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- It has not been six months. The standard offer is six months. I would suggest that this be declined, and the editor make another request after six months. If you can't even bother to follow the guidance for the unblock process, how do we know that you will follow any other guidance? The standard offer is not just some random essay that we throw at users. It is a demonstration that you can follow simple, clear instructions. Also, I find it a bit discouraging that Miraclepine is telling admins how to do their job here during this very unblock – for example, telling admins to log topic bans at WP:RESTRICT, as if admins are incompetent and need this user to guide them. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:47, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- And there you have it. Please continue to edit constructively on other projects and please continue to to refrain from editing here. If you do these things and wait until September 8, 2020 to request unblocking, I'm sure your request will be received in a much better light. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 23:47, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra: I've read NinjaRobotPirate's reply and pondered over it for a while, and I have realized that I had made this request early because of the COVID-19 pandemic in which places that would make it easy for me to Wikibreak were closed to stop the virus from spreading. The situation of the pandemic was uncertain at the time, so I decided to abort a wikibreak and make an attempt to return to Wikipedia. But so much time has passed since then that the situation is more certain than at the time, and all those places where I can go to stay away from the internet are starting to reopen, which may give me more time to wikibreak.
- My thoughts are that admins are indeed competent and each has expertise in certain areas. That is why I trusted you with the unblock request: because of your long history of experience with them. That said, the reply has made me realise while having positive contributions to Wikipedia and its sister projects are important, so is displaying a willingness to follow the rules.
- Therefore, I think it would be for the best of us that I withdraw this request and come back some day whenever the time is right... six months from today: 18 December 2020.
- And besides, Wikidata is now my home wiki, and I've been having a lot of fun there.

Unblock request 3
Miraclepine (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Years ago, I was indefinitely blocked for WP:CIR and WP:IDHT in response to my wasting admin time with a retaliatory ANI report against an topic expert whom I would not agree with and towards whom I wikilawyered and tried to game things in my favor, after displaying a habit of wasting admin time and doing weird stuff, and rushing into things too fast. A lot of time has passed since then including my last unblock request, enough for me to reflect on my own behavior. Reflecting on my behaviour before being blocked and afterwards, I have decided to spend more time to refine this appeal. At Wikidata and English Wikisource, I nowadays keep a relatively low profile while editing constructively by working on award-winner items, creating women author pages, and some DNB27 work.
I hereby, after being unblocked, commit to use common sense; to refrain from rushing into things too quickly, but instead do more research on a topic if I'm unsure I know enough on said topic; to think more carefully about whether or not my edits improve Wikipedia, about what other editors think and need, and how much editor time and resources are consumed, and thus commit to approaches that are less bureaucratic in principle (and thus consume less admin time); to respect the principles of Wikipedia policies/guidelines and my promises and not abuse their letter; to listen to feedback from others and display a willingness to learn.
I plan to focus mostly on content work (namely for WikiProject Anime and Manga, Women in Red, and WP:DYK); adding reliable sources to unsourced and poorly sourced claims and getting rid of unreliable sources; cleaning up WP:PSTS issues on anime articles (e.g. replacing social media sources with reliable news sources if possible); and !voting for WP:ATDs during XFDs. I also am open to any kinds of TBANs and feedback.

Accept reason:
Accepting on account of the time passed, well-written unblock request, and the assent of other admins that have weighed in on this case. signed, Rosguill talk 04:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm inclined to accept on account of the long amount of time that has passed since the last request and the block prior to that. However, since there's previously been extensive discussion I want to notify admins who previously considered the unblock requests, TonyBallioni, Deepfriedokra, Bbb23. signed, Rosguill talk 05:32, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Rosguill:OK. go on unblock— Preceding unsigned comment added by Deepfriedokra (talk • contribs)
- As an uninvolved admin, I would concur and would be OK with an unblock. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:41, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Because Tony is the original blocking admin, I believe we should wait to see what he says. If Tony is okay with it, I have no objection.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:48, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- No opinion either way. If people are convinced by the appeal, feel free to unblock. Not a support, but not an objection either. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:21, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
