Filling in refs are neutral edits, not editing in opposition. But, I'll be blunt here. It's been a handful of articles now, and when you turn up on the more obscure articles I edit like Leslie Feinberg and an essay I'm building with a small number of people that's not even in the mainspace yet,:[1] it's creepy. I'm asking you to stop, per the spirit of WP:FOLLOWING, and what it used to be called. - CorbieV☊☼17:47, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You're smarter than this. Read the policy. The earlier following edits were done with your IPs. Again, you're sticking to the strict letter of it by not editing in opposition, but you are clearly following other editors around. Don't be condescending. - CorbieV☊☼18:08, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, CorbieVreccan. I have read WP:FOLLOWING. It says that "Correct use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing unambiguous errors", which is exactly what I am doing. It also says that only "If "following another user around" is accompanied by tendentiousness, personal attacks, or other disruptive behavior," none of which I am doing, "it may become a very serious matter and could result in blocks and other editing restrictions." You may wish to look the other way while I edit if you think that it's "creepy", but constructive edits are 100% allowed under Wikipedia policy whether you like them or not.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for disruptive edits. What did you think was gonna happen? Please don't do this again. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
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 ~~~~}}.
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).
This is not a negotiation, nor is this something that we're going to tolerate. Complying with the expectations that El C and I both set with you in the ANI discussion isn't something that should be difficult to understand and follow. You are violating the spirit of the WP:FOLLOWING policy by following CorbieVreccan and Indigenous girl around from page-to-page and making edits to these pages as they're currently editing them. You need to do whatever it is you need to do in order to stop making edits to pages that these two editors are currently editing (whether it be avoiding interaction with them, joining a Wikiproject, or taking on a new area or task such as recent changes patrolling). You will be blocked for an increased duration each time your contributions show that you're continuing this behavior, and without any prior warnings given to you in advance. One way or another, this behavior will stop. I really hope that it stops because you did what it took in order to cease the behavior, not because I had to block you in order for it to stop. C'mon, man... this isn't rocket science. Just stop, will ya? Please? ~Oshwah~(talk)(contribs)07:01, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
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.
Regardless of whether the 24hr block is lifted, I believe that it would be better if I took a step back for a while and improved some other areas of the encyclopedia. SolarStorm1859 (lostpwd) (talk) 02:24, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that would be a good idea, and your idea of avoiding interaction with those two editors for 48 hours was a bad idea. I suggest 48 weeks instead, or you face a much longer block. Avoid creepy behavior. Cullen328Let's discuss it02:38, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are almost 6 million articles now on Wikipedia, SolarStorm1859 (lostpwd). It shouldn't be hard to find articles that have nothing to do with either editor. I recommend finding an WikiProject that might be of interest to you (look here or here for possible areas of interest). Wikipedia is an enormous resource and it is very possible to never run into other editors. By the way, have you ever thought of simplifying your name? Go to WP:RENAME in interested.

@El C and Oshwah: It looks like SolarStorm is now attempting to circumvent the interaction ban by using Citation bot to edit the same articles as CorbieVreccan.[2][3] Of course, it's impossible to prove that it's actually the same person (since Citation bot doesn't use OAuth), but it definitely matches SolarStorm's MO and one of the edits is signed "SolarStorm1859".

I've blocked the user/s indefinitely, but this may not be the last we heard of them vis-a-vis the Citation bot. If the bot can be misused this way, we may have a problem. El_C21:19, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
