Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Pinkbeast (talk) 13:36, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Long term history of edit warring

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for a long term history of edit warring.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 02:41, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Tarook97 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

To whom it may concerns. My start with serious editing on Wikipedia was only last spring, my lack of knowledge on Wikipedias terms and policies was the main reason for my blocks, especially the first two as I had barely any understanding of policies as basic as 3RR at the time. My edits on Battle of Talas were to add additional cited info and were of good faith, but I understand that I violated 3RR. I'm well informed on Wikipedias guidelines and policies now, and I assure you that I will adhere to them from now on. Thank you.

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=To whom it may concerns. My start with serious editing on Wikipedia was only last spring, my lack of knowledge on Wikipedias terms and policies was the main reason for my blocks, especially the first two as I had barely any understanding of policies as basic as 3RR at the time. My edits on [[Battle of Talas]] were to add additional cited info and were of good faith, but I understand that I violated 3RR. I'm well informed on Wikipedias guidelines and policies now, and I assure you that I will adhere to them from now on. Thank you. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=To whom it may concerns. My start with serious editing on Wikipedia was only last spring, my lack of knowledge on Wikipedias terms and policies was the main reason for my blocks, especially the first two as I had barely any understanding of policies as basic as 3RR at the time.

I'm well informed on Wikipedias guidelines and policies now, and I assure you that I will adhere to them from now on. Thank you. |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=To whom it may concerns.

Why didn't you learn the policies and decide to adhere to them after the first block? Why should we believe that you will behave any differently if you are unblocked now? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:29, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

At the time, Wikipedia and its policies were all very new to me and my knowledge of anything other than editing, saving an edit, and reverting was very limited in the first month of serious editing. I didn't even know about my first block until it was mentioned by the nominator of my second, as I didn't try to edit during the 36 hours of my first. I have undoubtedly learned my lesson, and will be here to build an encyclopedia. Tarook97 (talk) 13:10, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
