:{{ping|Acj1|Anna Frodesiak}} So, the biggest issue on the table here is that, Acj1, I don't think this project is a good fit for you, at least not right now. You're really struggling with making constructive edits, and while I'm pretty certain you're not intending to be disruptive, you've created a lot of work for Anna, others, and myself in making sure your edits are decent. You've also been unable to follow instructions and seem to get confused frequently. Admittedly, Wikipedia is not the most straightforward place, but we've given you explicit advice on a number of editing matters, for which you have not shown good judgment afterwards with regard to building an encyclopedia and avoiding using Wikipedia as a social network. I get that you were confused about creating multiple accounts, but it's not an excuse nor is it grounds for unblocking you. For these reasons, I do not think Wikipedia is a good fit for you, and your time might be better spent on eBay, for which you've stated you have an active interest in it.

A question
I just got to ask, are you trying to sell coins by listing them, their conditions and price in your sandbox? Or are you starting an article about collectable coins? If you are starting an article, please just don't copy things from websites. This time the text is from this site. - w.carter-Talk 21:02, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
- @W.carter: I didn't copy the coin article from another website. I copied some info from a coin collector book I have, otherwise the rest is mine! I am not trying to sell them either. E-e-bayer_lover (Annoy me) 22:06, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
- It's good to hear that you are not using this site to sell things, it just looked a bit odd. :) The text is exactly like the one on the website, so more editors than me will make the same mistake. But in most cases it is the same with books, text should not just be copied. I understand that this is a grading system for coins, and it may be hard to write in "your own words", so you should put the fact about the book in a reference and then we will have to wait and see how much of this that the reviewer of the article thinks is ok to copy. Best, w.carter-Talk 22:13, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you W.carter! PS. How do you like to tweak I added to my signature? "Annoy Me!" E-e-bayer_lover (Annoy me) 23:03, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I saw that. And since that is the way you feel about editors posting on your talk page, I will respect that and not bother you any more. Good Luck and Good Night! w.carter-Talk 00:08, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
- @W.carter: You are not bothering me! I like having someone around that know more about Wikipedia than I do! Acj1 (Annoy me) 16:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I saw that. And since that is the way you feel about editors posting on your talk page, I will respect that and not bother you any more. Good Luck and Good Night! w.carter-Talk 00:08, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Last chance
Since my last post above containing "...No harm in warning/watching/waiting....", you have edited your userpage 6 more times, created an article that was nothing more than copy pasted text, handed out a barnstar, and created a page that looks a lot like webhosting for some coins to be sold at ebay.
This is not going to turn into a half dozen productive editors all coddling you. Bottom line: Learn to edit, don't copy paste, stick to the mainspace. I've removed your ability to edit your userpage (not this user talk page) for a while for your own good.
You seem smart. I suggest clicking this a couple of times. Find an article you like and add a sourced fact. Then, do it again and again. Show us that you "really love Wikipedia" and should not be blocked per WP:NOTHERE and WP:CIR.
I've just invested 5 minutes in you. I won't invest more.

- OK Anna Frodesiak. I am very sorry. E-e-bayer_lover (Annoy me) 14:24, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Anna Frodesiak: @W.carter:
- Ebay, huh? Okay. That is your choice. There are plenty of friendly people here and it is a fun place to be. It just seemed that you were here to play. I do not understand how clicking edit and adding a sentence could be so confusing. You seem smart. Anyway, you are always wecome to return if and when you figure out that building an encyclopedia is a better use of time than buying and selling stuff at ebay. All the best. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:30, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

- Oh, Anna Frodesiak, can you tell me why you "locked" my user page? Acj1 (Annoy me) 16:15, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yes. Because you were making almost all of your edits to that page. I felt that if that continued, either I or another administrator would decide that you are not here to build the encyclopedia, and block you. Please, show me that you are here to make constructive, mainspace edits and I will be happy to unprotect your userpage. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:09, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Anna Frodesiak: OK, I will try to build an encyclopedia. It is hard though. I am not into many things, and don't know much...Acj1 (Annoy me) 01:12, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Maybe I would do better uploading photos into those articles you recommended!!! have a good night! Acj1 (Say Hi To Me!) 01:20, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

I don't really see the harm in this and I think that this is actually a pretty good idea for new and/or inexperienced users. It was just in the wrong place, is all.

Your interests
What are you interested in? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:05, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
Your future at Wikipedia
This is atrocious. You've made 377 edits with only 10 in the mainspace. And, not a single one of those mainspace edits were constructive. So far, you have simply wasted our reading and keystroke resources. This must stop at once. If you make any edits that are not directly related to improving the mainspace, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. The only reason I am not blocking you now is because you've asked for mentoring from someone. So, no more socializing, commenting on how great an article is, guestbooking, userpage nonsense, rollback requests, or anything even like that. If you want to be here, work the mainspace. Add a fact with a source. Anything. But, no more messing about. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:50, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

- @Anna Frodesiak: Could I try writing an article on a book that I read??? Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 14:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- What's the book? Also, did you have an account before this one? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:13, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- The book is "Tucket's Travels" by Gary Paulsen. Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 14:14, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know. I've asked for guidance on this one because I couldn't find reviews. Lots of the author Gary Paulsen's books have articles. I don't understand how Tucket's Travels fits in. There were supposed to be only 5 in that series. Anyhow, please read Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria and then, if you still think it's notable, please contact User:Citicat and ask if it could be recreated. He is the administrator who closed the AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tucket's Travels back in 2007. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:34, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

- @Anna Frodesiak: Yes, I did. Also, I edited an article...Hot Wheels and added some information. Is that what you would call "Building An Encyclopedia?" Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 17:52, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey Acj. I noticed in some of your recent edits that you have been putting in wikilinks to other articles, like on Khairpur village, Chakwal District, Neck creaking, Conservation technical assistance, and Saviniano Pérez. While we do want to link articles together, we don't necessarily have to link every article when that topic or word appears in, as this is considered distracting. You generally want to be more selective about what links you choose and try to judge the ones that are most likely to help readers understand the article they are currently reading. For instance, in Conservation technical assistance, linking to the Natural Resources Conservation Service is appropriate since this is one of their central tasks. I've fixed up Conservation technical assistance, but I'll leave the others to you. Thanks, I, JethroBT drop me a line 23:45, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
- OK. I never realized that I was over-linking! Sorry! Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 02:36, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- It's OK. I'm glad you are trying to figure all this stuff out— the effort matters, especially so if they are mistakes, otherwise we don't get better at editing. I think it will be easier once you decide how you want to contribute to Wikipedia. Stay curious and see what kinds of tasks interest you most. I, JethroBT drop me a line 07:34, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- I think I would like adding Wikilinks & Adding Photos.

It is hard to know what to link. I could link your WHOLE post above!... It's OK. I'm glad you are trying to figure all this stuff out — the effort matters , especially so if they are mistakes , otherwise we don't get better at editing.

- Right, you could. But just because you can link something, doesn't mean you should. Don't all of those links feel a little distracting to you? It feels like I should be clicking on things instead of reading what is written, and it should be the other way 'round. This is a good guide for knowing what to link in an article. Also, it's good that you know what you want to do. I would let your mentor know, and she will be better able to help you out. I, JethroBT drop me a line 13:45, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. I, JethroBT drop me a line 15:01, 6 January 2015

Acj1 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I wasn't trying to ruin Wikipedia...ith my other accounts I never knew what to do. I thought when the block ended that you just created another account. I just would get blocked again though. I tried to ask different Administrators but they would get mad and block me! I didn't know what to do except create another account!!! Acj1 (talk) 15:24, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You should log into your original account, and make an unblock request there. PhilKnight (talk) 15:52, 6 January 2015 (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.
- OK. I will try that. Thanks PhilKnight!!! Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 18:13, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- @I JethroBT: Hi. Can you tell me why you blocked me???
- Hi AJ. I appreciate you being up front about your previous accounts, but your past editing behavior was a big problem, and it's not something you've answered for, at all. It was made clear to you on many block notices that the appropriate way to respond to being blocked was to appeal the block, not to wait a short while and then create yet another account. That is simply not OK, because it is dishonest. If you want to be unblocked, you will need to acknowledge and explain why your previous behavior was problematic, that you will not engage in making multiple accounts ever again, and above all, that you are here to build an encyclopedia.

- @I JethroBT: I want to do the right thing, but seem to just get into more trouble. I need help. Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 15:16, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- I understand that, but you need to be careful to follow the instructions given to you. All of your prior accounts were blocked indefinitely (as is this one), which doesn't mean forever, but it does mean you remain blocked until you make an appeal that satisfies the things I just described and an admin approves it. If you want use this account in the future, I don't see a problem with that. The instructions for making an unblock request are in the box above, and you can post it on this page, just below the block notice. I, JethroBT drop me a line 15:20, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

The Scooooooter mess
Hi, User:PhilKnight and User:I JethroBT (ping FYI, User:Materialscientist, User:Gparyani, User:Bbb23), a couple of things:
This latest sock was told in the block decline reason above "...You should log into your original account, and make an unblock request there...", which is what?Right, okay. It's Scooooter. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:28, 7 January 2015 (UTC)- Should we add this latest sock to the SPI for the record?
- Why on Earth is this user even being considered for unblock when there is not a single constructive edit anywhere? This has been an enormous waste of community resources which should stop immediately.
Convenience links:
- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Scooooter, the current SPI page
- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Scooooter/Archive, the current SPI page (archives)
- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Scoooter3, the original SPI page
- Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Scooooter
- User:Scoooter, User:Scoooter2, User:Scoooter3, the three socks Acj1 admitted to at this talk yesterday.
Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:08, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- User:Anna Frodesiak Hi, Anna Frodesiak. I admit that those are all sock puppets of mine. You can see that I had 10+ of them. Scooooter is my main account. Acj1|Sign?|Say Hi To Me! 02:07, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, User:Anna Frodesiak, you forgot Steinsplitter. :-)
- @Acj1 and Anna Frodesiak: So, the biggest issue on the table here is that, Acj1, I don't think this project is a good fit for you, at least not right now. You're really struggling with making constructive edits, and while I'm pretty certain you're not intending to be disruptive, you've created a lot of work for Anna, others, and myself in making sure your edits are decent. You've also been unable to follow instructions and seem to get confused frequently. Admittedly, Wikipedia is not the most straightforward place, but we've given you explicit advice on a number of editing matters, for which you have not shown good judgment afterwards with regard to building an encyclopedia and avoiding using Wikipedia as a social network. I get that you were confused about creating multiple accounts, but it's not an excuse nor is it grounds for unblocking you. For these reasons, I do not think Wikipedia is a good fit for you, and your time might be better spent on eBay, for which you've stated you have an active interest in it.
