I did not even have the time to respond. I've written ~20 articles and a wikibook, I don't know what this is about. --Mathmensch (talk) 14:22, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the very worst kind of cyberbullying one could imagine to experience. The climate here is poisonous. --Mathmensch (talk) 14:23, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@TonyBallioni: Let me at least explain to you where your "analysis" fails. I've come here because I was insulted several times. I've not misbehaved according to any policy, but merely stated that I wanted to refrain from editing. I do want to improve this site, by removing insulting edits and admins. But apparently, my efforts are in vain. Let me conclude by stating that now, I do wish to return to work on articles, but only those related to Cyberbullying. --Mathmensch (talk) 14:30, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And talk page access is removed. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:33, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are free to appeal using WP:UTRS now that your TPA is revoked. Any admin should be feel free to unblock you without consulting me. I'd encourage them to read the relevant ANI threads and this user talk thread. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:35, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not a good idea to unblock right now as we'll probably get pointy or disruptive edits on cyberbullying topics. --NeilN talk to me 16:37, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree except I think it's more likely than "probably". I also don't think the user will necessarily restrict their editing to just that topic. As I told them at my Talk page (before the block), based on their comments, they would be better off somewhere else on the Internet. Editing on Wikipedia with the sole goal of slamming the project and its editors is not contributing to the encylcopedia.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:45, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they were clearly editing here to prove a point, and have continued that editing on meta after this block, being disruptive there and following SarekOfVulcan to his meta talk page after he couldn't post on en.wiki anymore. I don't think unblocking would be wise, but I'm also not going to stand in the way if someone else wants to on UTRS. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:53, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong sequence of events. I removed text from m:Don't be a jerk that they had added after the last go-round. It was after that edit that they showed up on my talk. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:03, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, sorry. They were fighting with -revi after the block based on the text that revi later removed from the userpage, and I saw the contributions and must have gotten the time stamps mixed up. My fault. Still, not exactly being a productive contributor cross-project. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:06, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS appeal #80742

I have reenabled talk page access so this user may make an unblock request here, as per UTRS appeal #80742. --Yamla (talk) 11:39, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Block appeal #?

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

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

Request reason:

I hope that (given my numerous occupations and current extreme fatigue) it will be forgiven that I simply copy & paste my remarks from over at the UTRS page, which was closed due to apparent technical difficulties.

  1. It has now been several years since my block was instated. I have spent the time constructively (for instance, I am creating my mathematics series over at the German wikibooks https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Mathematik_f%C3%BCr_Faule ), but it happens every day that I find a wrong proof on the English wikipedia. Yesterday, I found that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel%27s_correction#Alternative_1 omits important parts of the proof, and today, I noticed that in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runge's_theorem#Proof it is only possible to expand a function as a Laurent series about its poles, whence the iterative procedure given is not sound. I therefore ask for my user ban to be lifted ONLY FOR EDITING MATHS AND PHYSICS ARTICLES.
  2. It goes without saying that respectful discussion is the preferred way of dealing with conflicts on Wikipedia. I certainly do hope that I have not been unknowingly rough to anyone, and will take further steps to decrease the likelihood of that occurring.
  3. I will abstain from writing about what I percieve to have been unjustified user bans. --Mathmensch (talk) 22:07, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Deepfriedokra recommended that you be unblocked, and in review I think another chance is warranted, so I will remove the block. I'm also going to assume good faith that you will edit in the subject areas you have indicated. 331dot (talk) 15:09, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mathmensch (talk) 22:07, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that if you do nothing, I'm probably not going to get unblocked. Mathmensch (talk) 14:58, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: I hereby request permission to also edit articles pertaining to chemistry, biology and computer science, or at least after a probation period has passed. Mathmensch (talk) 17:00, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't edited anything yet, why don't you start with what you initially indicated first. 331dot (talk) 17:05, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Very well. As you might have guessed, furthering education is in fact my goal. In a way, it is a matter of life and death, because at the rate the global climate is degenerating, the destruction of our civilisation is not an unlikely event any more (let alone wars and viruses). (Or was that too much already?) Mathmensch (talk) 17:08, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
