You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for edit warring.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

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 ~~~~}}.  Aoidh (talk) 10:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240530104600","author":"Aoidh","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Aoidh-20240530104600-May_2024","replies":[]}}-->

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

This Admin is WP:INVOLVED as me and them have a history. I would not be opposed to this block being imposed by another admin if they think such a thing is necessary.

INDEF is also an excessive sanction. I genuinely believed there was consensus, and I stopped reverting edits after a compromise position was reached. A time-limited or page-limited block would be more appropriate.

Decline reason:

Putting an end date on the block does nothing to guarantee that your edit warring will cease, and blocking from a specific article or page doesn't guarantee that you won't edit war on other articles or pages. I agree that this block is necessary to prevent disruption and that you haven't provided sufficient grounds to remove it yet. As such, I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 14:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240531143900","author":"331dot","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-331dot-20240531143900-May_2024","replies":[]}}-->

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.

Jack, I know you are currently blocked and I would have sent you an email, but I didn't see an email link. Anyway, I thought you might find this project interesting: Wikipedia talk:Selective scoping.

Hey Huggums, thanks for reaching out. That’s an interesting thread. If I was unblocked i’d support the proposal. Targeted nominations are a problem on this site. On some rare occasions I think I’ve received a bit of that

I’ve made an anonymised address you’re welcome to email me on anytime; roses-realist0z@icloud.com

Hope you’ve been well. Best Jack4576 (talk) 09:28, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240713092800","author":"Jack4576","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Jack4576-20240713092800-Huggums537-20240712210000","replies":[]}}-->

I once again remind editors of the consensus position; that WP:AUD does not apply to prevent major news publication from supporting notability for subjects located in the city that the major news publication is headquartered.

Given the numerous reminders to editors regarding this issue, and the clear outcome of group discussions in the past, it is regrettable that some editors continue to claim that major newspapers in Melbourne cannot be used as a source for businesses located in Melbourne. This disregard of consensus ought to be addressed by the community.

In addition to being contrary to consensus, the position is self-evidently problematic. The position excludes the NYT from being a source for business subjects located in NYC; which would be an absurd result. I invite editors to reflect upon whether their interpretation of some of this site's rules are more damaging than beneficial.

We are all here to build an encyclopedia, and relying upon spurious, controversial, absurd, and nonsensical interpretations of the WP:AUD notability rule only serves to undermine and erase good-faith and quality contributions by editors across this website.

Sorry I was late to the party. I would have voted to keep even though it appears my vote would not have mattered anyway. It passes AUD by having at least one regional or state level source to go along with the other sources. Huggums^{537_voted!

Indeed. Thanks Huggums. Despite the presence of state & regional sources, it is too often the case that editors push forward a view that a state-level source cannot support a subject within its borders; because that subject is ‘local’ to the source.

This has caused numerous articles about subjects based in Perth, supported by The West Australian to be deleted; and the same for subjects based in Melbourne, supported by sources like The Age.

This needs to be resolved once and for all via an RfC, because there is a group of editors on this site that keep pushing for this view; despite the fact that it is a minority one. Past discussions of this rule have shown that most editors regard such an interpretation to be unworkable.

It’s frustrating as a contributor trying to add to this site, that a group of editors relies on an absurd interpretation of the AUD rule to frequently delete contributions. It is usually the same names in these discussions pushing the same absurd position.

If or when my account is unbanned at some point I hope to create an RfC to resolve this. In the meantime all I can do is watch contributions about Australian local subjects be deleted; even when those subjects are covered in the national paper of record.

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of La Lune restaurant.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

The article Angelica Panopoulos has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Most of the sourcing, which doesn't mention her in passing, is about the subject being elected as major or of them doing standard mayor things such as making speeches. They've been a councillor for just under 4 years and were mayor for two years. They place they were a mayor of is a local government area in Melbourne which has a population of 181,725 (as at June 2018), which is not a city of at least regional prominence. They are not notable for other reasons in addition to their mayoralty. WP:POLOUTCOMES would suggest this article be deleted.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
