Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Hello. You are participating in "discussions internal to the project" (WP:PROJSOCK); please disclose your main account. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 02:35, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I seem to have been blocked before I had a chance to read your message, but I'll respond anyway, just for the record.

As per WP:LOGOUT, "editors who have edited while logged out are never required to connect their usernames to their IP addresses on-wiki." It is therefore inappropriate for you to seek to compel such disclosure, and I would suggest you refrain from doing that to other users going forward. Of course, at the same time, personally, I don't really mind, so we're good; if I still had my password, I would actually log in and respond to you using my long abandoned account but I suppose that just wasn't meant to be. 78.28.44.127 (talk) 07:41, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

 

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 6 months for Long-term evasion of scrutiny using IP addresses in project space.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  TonyBallioni (talk) 03:44, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

Participation does not equal disruption. This perfectly innocuous edit didn't disrupt anything. In fact, it looks like it was helpful; the response that my question received gave us quite a bit of insight into the candidate, wouldn't you agree?

BTW, if my alleged "disruption" is confined to project space, as per the wording of the block rationale, how come the scope of the block isn't similarly limited? Was the blocking admin perhaps not familiar with the newly added feature, Wikipedia:Partial blocks? 78.28.44.127 (talk) 07:41, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
