Your submission at Articles for creation: Salina Yoon (February 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by RangersRus was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Not coverage on her career and please site peer or critical reviews of her books.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Eidology (August 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by BuySomeApples was:
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
This is an interesting topic but the sourcing needs some work. The references should all have something to with eidology specifically and there should be no WP:SYNTH, especially in the etymology section. Sources like The Free Dictionary and Power Thesaurus aren't good references because they include crowd-sourced information.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Block Appeal

icon
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).

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


Request reason:

At the time, I was aware of a sockpuppet policy in place, but I definitely should have read the fine print. I was not aware participation on forum was not allowed. This was very ignorant of me, and I know I'm not innocent. I have since reviewed the policy throughly and willing to work on a singular account if I need to. In other words, I just request my editing block be lifted.

I did make mostly productive edits on Lolapossum. I'm still fairly new to editing, but I make every one of my edits in good faith. Debatta was rule-breaking but I truly want to improve Wikipedia. I understand that I have abused on Debatta but One hop this time and No harm no foul have no edits at all. Yes, a block was justified but this was all very minor. I don't believe I was being very damaging.

I apologize for my actions and hope I can make more helpful contributions in the future (If I am free to). I don't need for my other accounts to be unblocked, but I still like the username No harm no foul. I would really appreciate if I was allowed on there to start on a fresh slate. I'm cutting this short but If you need further explanation I would be happy to, I had an essay prepared but I decided to spare your time. Lolapossum (talk) 03:08, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Frankly, I find it implausible that you've been here a year, you admit that you were even aware of the sockpuppet policy, yet you didn't know what it said because you hadn't read "the fine print"? Anyway, be that as it may, you didn't in any way indicate that your five accounts were alts. And when Voorts asked you on Debatta's talk page whether you've used other accounts, that would have been the perfect opportunity for you to come clean, but instead you refused to answer. That, more than anything, tells me you intended to deceive somehow. What exactly you were planning, I guess we'll never know, but I suspect you registered those accounts with nil edits to date for a reason. In fact, therein lies an obvious question to be answered: can you tell us one rational, constructive purpose for registering five accounts? You should include that in your next appeal, if you plan to lodge one. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:17, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Block appeal #2

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).

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


Request reason:

Please review my previous appeal for further details. This one will not make sense without it!

Prior to my block I had skimmed through the Sockpuppet Policy, and afterwards I concluded that using a sockpuppet is only illegitimate if I'm using it to artificially create consensus. I was not aware simple participation on internal discussions was barred.

I did not "come clean" when Voorts asked me to because at the time I believed I was not breaking any policies, and had no obligation to do so. But to be completely honest: I also didn't like him all too much for closing my discussion on VP, and I wasn't too keen on responding to him when I didn't need to. I know that isn't an excuse and I should have listened. Now that I have gone over WP:Sockpuppetry I understand I was in the wrong, and resolve to be clearer next time.

I do have reasons for registering 5 accounts. I had originally created Listamajor to edit primarily on Wiktionary, but had a change of heart and abandoned it after finding Wiktionary to be difficult and unpleasant to edit. I could have used Lolapossum, but Listamajor was kind of a test account to help me learn how to use Wiktionary without the embarrassment tied to my account. Debatta is similar, I used it on forum because I wanted to avoid confrontation on Lolapossum.

One hop this time and No harm no foul were special cases of me wanting to save a username. I actually planned on a fresh start beforehand. I was planning on leaving Lolapossum for either of those accounts. I created two instead of one as a failsafe in case my new account was lost.

I apologize, you asked for one reason but the accounts were really a mix of multiple things.

I know those excuses were very weak and I admit I made mistakes. I've always seen accounts as disposable. I thought I would be fine because I didn't think I was being damaging. I apologize for my actions and I am looking forward to making helpful contributions in the future.

Decline reason:

At this point, I recommend taking the standard offer: do not edit the English Wikipedia at all for at least six months -- no IP editing, no new accounts. During that time, you are free to edit other Wikipedia projects, such as Simple Wikipedia or Wiktionary. After at least six months has passed, request an unblock from your preferred account addressing the reasons for your initial block. The six-month break from English Wikipedia helps us gain trust that you will not continue to abuse the system if unblocked. If you are uninterested in the standard offer at this time, you can submit another unblock request, which another administrator will review.

Thank you for reviewing my appeal. I'll look into the Standard Offer, though 6 months is not a short time. Question: Do I need to announce my Socks on Simple Wikipedia? I've never edited on there before, and I don't plan on using any more than 1 account. I probably would declare anyway to remain on the safe side, but I assume I don't have to. Lolapossum 23 September 2025
You should only use one account going forward, on any Wikimedia project. Just don't log into your other accounts. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:54, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do I need to link to my alternative accounts on Simple Wikipedia? Lolapossum (talk) 20:04, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what their rules are about socking. If I were you, I would scramble the passwords to those accounts and stop thinking about them. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:22, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
