Nice work on the article. FYI, per the rules, an article may only be featured once per year (there are a few exceptions for holidays and observances), so I removed the article from February 4, leaving it on February 3. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 19:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for inappropriately marking edits as minor. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 12:20, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
When this current block expires, be aware that you are very likely to be blocked for edit warring if you continue your activities at Philippines. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 12:26, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I am going to address why I mark all my edits as minor. There is a tendency I have to get into fights with other people and I just don't want that. Marking them minor makes me avoid these. It's not to be rude, no offence.--Theparties (talk) 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes, marking all of your edits "minor" does mean fewer people will see them. This is exactly why marking all of your edits as "minor" is not acceptable. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:20, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry, I did not thought it was a big deal because I had been doing it for four months and no one complained until now. Fine, I am not going to do it again.-- 00:02, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
No one complained?[1][2][3] - SummerPhD (talk) 00:48, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
Oh! I forgot about that one in December. Fine. I'm stopping. You win.-- 00:51, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Imelda (film)

The article Imelda (film) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Imelda (film) for things which need to be addressed.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for inappropriately marking edits as minor even after a recent block, as you did at Juliette Barnes. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 23:21, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
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).

Theparties (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Sorry. It's been a habit so it's quite difficult to undo marking my edits. I check the minor edit to make sure I am logged in (and yeah to avoid conflict). Could you warn me first next time before blocking me? Sorry again. And yeah I agree to stop marking my edits minor. (Theparties) 00:10, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You received plenty of warning above, leading to your previous block on the same issue. I doubt that you mean it this time regarding marking these edits as minor. SQLQuery me! 04:20, 14 March 2014 (UTC)


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.

@Gabriel Yuji (talk), I honestly don't know how to upload an image without any copyright issues. I may be able to fill the rest of the infobox once my block expires. In the meantime, could you find anyone who can do it?--(Theparties) 15:14, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

I can upload it. I found this and this image. Do you have any preference or another image? Gabriel Yuji (talk) 19:12, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Unblock request

{Unblock|1=(I am putting this unblock on hold as I figure out what to do next.)

Seven months have passed since this block/ban was implemented. The list that justified this "ban" has been deleted because the pro-deletion side commented that it is based on "outdated" information. The user who imposed this block has been inactive for over a month. That user has also created a page about me that may violate Wikipedia's policies about privacy and personal information and that page should be deleted. There have been many times when I have filed appeals to the Ban Appeals Subcommittee but I was always denied and I have grown to be disillusioned by that process. I would like to invoke the "second chance" policy and I would like to cut my ties to my old account and start over fresh and new.}}

This is a checkuser block and requires either the Arbitration Commitee (through the Ban Appeals Sub Committee) or a checkuser to authorise your unblock. Editors and administrators, other than checkusers, are unable to assist you in this request. You may wish to use the WP:UTRS system to more quickly make a checkuser aware of your request, however.
Also, when filing an unblock request, do NOT keep editing it and causing edit conflicts. Nick (talk) 12:53, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Alright, thanks. I am going to try your suggestion. And sorry for creep-editing. I was trying to cram all the info.-(Theparties) 12:58, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Since you claim this unblock request is "on hold", I've disabled it. However, were I to respond to it, I'd be sure to point out that the request doesn't address either the reason for your original blocks nor the abuse of multiple accounts, but instead depends on irrelevencies such as that the person who blocked you hasn't been active in the last couple months and created a quite appropriate long term abuse page about you. You'll need to get the arbitration committee to lift this block and give you another chance; I assure you, with your history, an unblock request on this page, especially as poor as this one, will not be fulfilled. --jpgordon::==( o ) 15:00, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Click the Learn more button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
  3. Update your signature to fix the error.
  4. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Solution 3: Do nothing:

  1. In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now.

If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
