[WikiEN-l] Fwd: Fwd: Re: [arbcom-appeals-en] Appeal by Chealer

Hello Chealer The Arbitration Committee has carefully considered your application and declines to unblock at this time.

After examining your conduct we have determined that the current block and block log message are correct and compliant with policy.

Please excuse and ignore in case the first attempts actually worked. -------------------------------------------- I have never used any other username on Wikipedia. The latest block on my account, imposed by User:JzG, violates the blocking policy (per WP:EXPLAINBLOCK). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Chealer#Blocked (excluding the unrelated "Related AN notice" subsection) is the relevant on-wiki discussion. The UTRS appeal is #13664. The administrator who reviewed my UTRS appeal rejected implying that my actions were disruptive and mentioning he "f[ou]nd this block justified". Since I had no chance to reply, I would like to make it clear that my appeals do *not* mean I consider the block "unjustified". While I would not say that "[my] actions were [...] disruptive", I will not go as far as to claim that not one of the 10 000+ actions I performed on the English Wikipedia over 10+ years has been disruptive. In fact, I know that some of these were erroneous, and I have no doubt that I have neither fixed myself nor recognized in any way some of my errors, even if we only count those I already noticed. JzG's block could be "justified" in the sense that a justification for it could have been provided. All I am asking for with this appeal is to revoke JzG's block. I am *not* asking to be "unblocked" in the sense that my account should be free to edit again. If any administrator thinks my contributions call for a new block, then that administrator is free to implement it in compliance with policy. To be perfectly clear, the outcome of this appeal will be correct as long as the current block is repealed, whether my account ends up affected by a policy-compliant block or not. By the way, I really appreciate the BASC Status ("Currently, you can expect your appeal to be decided in ~ 6 weeks."). It would be nice to precise "Currently" though - or even better, allow making appeals public. Oh, and "Email me a copy of my message." is really nice meanwhile. -- This email was sent by user "Chealer" on the English Wikipedia to user "Ban Appeals Subcommittee".
