Request reason:

I was revert happy

Decline reason:

That does not even begin to address the reasons for the block. I suggest that you try taking the very good advice offered by the anonymous editor below. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:33, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: Hello. Even though I am not an administrator and don't have an account, I am an expierenced editor. I am telling you now that your request "I was revert happy", doesn't address the reason for your block and it will most likely be declined for this reason. I would recommend reading the policy page that I have linked to you here and then changing your appeal to make it more effective. Remember, you can edit your appeal template while it is pending review. Best wishes, 216.246.149.185 (talk) 21:41, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Experienced? You've only been here for a day.no offense. Brian Boru is awesome (talk) 22:18, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Brian Boru is awesome: My IP address has changed because I have moved locations, but I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time. I do mean what I've said above though. Your request will most likely be declined in its current state. Just letting you know. Also, please indent replys to posts by adding colons : to the beginning of each reply line. Each reply should have one more colon than the post before it. 216.246.149.185 (talk) 23:59, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I won't edit war and abuse editing

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=I won't edit war and abuse editing |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=I won't edit war and abuse editing |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=I won't edit war and abuse editing |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

• Comment - For one thing, this unblock request doesn't address the rampant sockpuppetry and disruptive editing that continued after you were indefinitely blocked, nor does it demonstrate that you understand why you were blocked in the first place, or that this behavior won't continue if you are unblocked. - Aoidh (talk) 00:15, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering why you're commenting now. Brian Boru is awesome (talk) 00:16, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because I'm concerned that the reasons for your block (and the sockpuppetry that continued after the block) will continue. You haven't shown that you understand the reasons for your block, and when that's brought up your response is this comment. That kind of response doesn't indicate your willingness to contribute to a collaborative editing environment. - Aoidh (talk) 12:16, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So you don't trust me Brian Boru is awesome (talk) 12:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your unblock request does not indicate that your behavior will change. Please read WP:THREAD; the IP editor above explained the use of colons to indent lines, to show that you're responding to a specific comment. Is there a specific reason you're not indenting your responses? - Aoidh (talk) 12:24, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: I had told this editor that his appeal wouldn't go very far when it read "I won't use sockpuppets or block evasion" because based on the block log entries, this editor was never blocked for evasion, but rather was blocked for large accounts of disruptive editing, and then was reblocked for spamming another editor's inbox. However, based on what Aoidh has said here, it seems that this editor has indeed been blocked for socking as well. Also, an appeal won't go through unless the editor can prove, not just claim that his/her block-worthy behaviors will stop. Sorry for not catching this earlier, but because this appeal is only one claim, it still will be declined in its current state. 216.246.149.185 (talk) 12:54, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
