Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (December 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:GermanGamer77/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:GermanGamer77/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

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 ~~~~}}. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:16, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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).

GermanGamer77 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I looked down at the "Clearly not here to build the encyclopedia" page and didn't find myself ever doing any of those actions. I'm really sorry, and I really want to help. But I'm blocked, and really want to build one. I don't know how to phrase this without looking like a vandal (which I'm not, and I HATE vandals. When I get unblocked, I shall change my aims to fighting vandalism. Can I be a user like that, and have a second chance?)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline. New unblock request posted below. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:21, 15 February 2018 (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.

German Gamer 77 21:10, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What does "procedural decline" mean? I know I am not following Wikipedia:How to be unblocked but it was really an accident, and I just want to be unblocked. I am not going to guilt trip anybody, but I am getting desperate. :( German Gamer 77 19:56, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It means you had two unblock requests open at the same time, which shouldn't happen. He declined the earlier one, but left the latest one open for someone else to review. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:00, 15 February 2018 (UTC) Another thing, kind administrator: I see the reason for your block, and would like to give an explanation: I was trying to add an image to the article, but failed. And I was then called to go do something else for the rest of the day, so I couldn't remove it, and then tomorrow this block showed up. In conclusion: the block is no longer necessary because I[reply]

understand what you have been blocked for, will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and will make useful contributions instead. German Gamer 77 20:05, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME

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).

GermanGamer77 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

OH GOD HELP ME I WAS TOO LAZY TO REMOVE THAT THING I WAS TRYING TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL IMAGE BUT IT SCREWED UP AND NOW ALL MY EDITS ARE BEING REVERTED AAAAAHHHH PLEASE HELP PLEEEEASSEE

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Why I should be unblocked

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).

GermanGamer77 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This is the reason I got blocked: I was too lazy to remove the image, because I don't know how to add images correctly (once I get unblocked pls tell me how to put pictures on) and I ended up blocked. So, may I please have an unblock? I want to be productive. Oh, and I really want to add some new userboxes, but I'm blocked, as I said. I need the one that says "This user despises vandalism." Also, here: German Gamer 77 19:44, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

No, you were blocked for trolling us on talk pages, which means you clearly aren't here. Reviewing all of your unblock requests and this one, it is clear you are still trolling us. I've revoked your talk page access. You can appeal through WP:UTRS if you want to, but if you do, please address the reasons for your block and what you will contribute to Wikipedia if you are unblocked. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:00, 16 February 2018 (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.

I found your userbox request from over a month ago, rather by accident, and created one of them. You can find it here. FlyingShrimp (talk) 13:08, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
