Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. 2601:188:180:11F0:F11B:E449:55C1:762E (talk) 19:13, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia. 2601:188:180:11F0:F11B:E449:55C1:762E (talk) 19:16, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for persistent vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}.  Widr (talk) 19:18, 14 November 2017 (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).

Request reason:

All recent disruptive edits were on the same day, suggesting in no way that the vandal would continue to use that IP address long-term. The contribution list contains mostly constructive edits. This block affects a high number of uninvolved Wikipedia users.

Decline reason:

This block does not affect a high number of uninvolved editors - it's a comcast IP. The block is set to be anon only - so you just have to log in to edit from this address until it expires in less than a week. SQL^{Query me!} 02:56, 9 December 2017 (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.

The block will release spontaneously in six days time. You will appreciate that we cannot know whjose fingers are on the keyboard. As explained in the block notice, you can edit if you create an account.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 23:02, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm not the one behind the disruptive edits, and I don't plan on ever editing Wikipedia without good intent. While I can't speak for any of the other students at this school, based on the fact that vandalism from this IP account doesn't occur that frequently, it shouldn't be too much of a problem if you just increase filter sensitivity for edits from here to maximum sensitivity instead of making any blocks.50.235.102.246 (talk) 19:58, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Actually, this IP section is used by The Emery/Weiner School, which has over 500 students, so a lot of involved people are affected by this block. Also, the no-evidence-that-long-term-vandalism-would-occur reason still applies.

Do I need to include examples of edits that I'd make once unblocked? Here's something that I'd add to WP:LIGHTBULB:

How many Wikipedians does it take to change a lightbulb?

• One to notice it went out, and slap a {{Lightbulb is burned out}} tag on it
• One to patrol Category:Lightbulbs that are burned out, and remove them all with an automated script
• One to notice the removed lightbulb, and slap a {{Lightbulb is removed}} tag on it
• One to patrol Category:Lightbulbs that have been removed, and re-install the burned out lightbulb with an automated script
• One to notice that the previous editor used an automated script to install a burned out lightbulb, and report them to ANI
• Fifteen to comment at ANI on whether this is a cause for blocking
• One to close the ANI thread as "more heat than light"
• One to propose on the talk page that the lightbulb be replaced
• One to finally replace the lightbulb manually
• One to revert the replacement, with the message "Please gain consensus before removing any lightbulbs"
• One to edit war the replacement lightbulb back in
• One to edit war the original lightbulb back in (saying "please don't edit war")
• Six to continue the edit war, including one to remind them of the 3 revert rule and two others called in to avoid violating 3RR
• One to request for protection
• One administrator to protect the page (with the burnt out lightbulb in)
• One to claim "admin abuse" of lightbulb protection privileges
• One to post the issue to Jimbo Wales' talk page
• Two talk page stalkers to provide their opinions instead of Jimbo
• One to demand an RFC on the subject
• Twelve to participate in the 30-day RFC
• One to close the RFC as "no consensus"
• One to put in the replacement bulb anyway, with an edit summary "this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen"
• One to file another report at ANI for "Breach of WP:CIVILity and egregious Personal Attacks"
• Seven to comment at ANI whether this was uncivil or not
• One to close the ANI thread with "user warned" several days after everyone else lost interest

So, by my count, 62.

(Unless somebody notices the lightbulb isn't working. Oh heavens, here we go...)

• Another 62 to conduct the same process of replacing the lightbulb, only to find that that lightbulb doesn't work either
• Another 62 to conduct the process a third time
• One user to finally deduce, correctly, that the problem is not with the lightbulb, but instead with the power source
• One user to try to investigate the problem, run into a permission error, and then ask for help in the talk page of the page with the burnt-out lightbulb
• Twenty users to post a total of fifty-one replies about what should be done
• Five IP users to try to post an edit request concerning the lightbulb on the ANI but give up because it has just been semi-protected due to recent vandalism
• A sixth IP user to finally post an edit request on the ANI's talk page
• One archive bot to archive the thread after a month before any confirmed users noticed it
• Four hundred fifty more users to repeat the cycle twice more after everyone forgets about it for a while after each time
• Two hundred twenty-five users to get the semi-protected edit request on the ANI's talk page for the fourth time
• One confirmed user to notice the semi-protected edit request and post it on the ANI an hour before the thread was scheduled to get archived
• Two administrators to conduct an investigation and find that a vandal redirected a key redirect in the power line to his talk page
• Five administrators to attempt block the vandal but get permanently blinded due to the 2^4,096 lightbulbs shining on the vandal's talk page
• One administrator to finally have the good sense to redirect the power supply before blocking the vandal
• Twelve administrators to discuss how long to block the vandal for
• One administrator to block the vandal for a month
• Another to increase the block to three months
• Another to increase it to six months
• Another to increase it to a year
• One Wikimedia Foundation employee who is also in the Staff global group to set the block to four months and prevent it from being further edited
• Five hundred more administrators to deal with the vandal's twenty sock-puppets (twenty-five administrators per sock-puppet)
• One hundred five lawyers to sue the vandal in real life on behalf of the blinded administrators for compensation for the permanent blindness
• One judge to merge all of the cases and then sentence the vandal for life
• One bot to remove the redirect due to a coding error
• One user to undo the bot and report a false positive
• Another bot to redo the previous bot's edit
• Two coders, one to fix the coding for each bot
• One Wikimedia Foundation employee who is also in the Staff global group to permanently redirect the redirect to the lightbulb
• One user to notice that the power spike caused the lightbulb to break and slap a {{Lightbulb is broken}} tag on it
• One to patrol Category:Lightbulbs that are broken, and remove them all with an automated script
• One to notice the removed lightbulb, and slap a {{Lightbulb is removed}} tag on it
• One to patrol Category:Lightbulbs that have been removed, and re-install the burned out lightbulb with an automated script
• One to notice that the previous editor used an automated script to install a burned out lightbulb, and report them to ANI
• Fifteen to comment at ANI on whether this is a cause for blocking
• One to close the ANI thread as "more heat than light"
• One to propose on the talk page that the lightbulb be replaced
• Five to discuss this on the talk page, reaching no consensus either way
• One to finally replace the lightbulb manually
• One to revert the replacement, with the message "Please gain consensus before removing any lightbulbs"
• One to edit war the replacement lightbulb back in
• One to edit war the original lightbulb back in (saying "please don't edit war")
• Six to continue the edit war, including one to remind them of the 3 revert rule and two others called in to avoid violating 3RR
• One to request for protection
• One administrator to protect the page (with the burnt out lightbulb in)
• One to claim "admin abuse" of lightbulb protection privileges
• One to post the issue to Jimbo Wales' talk page
• Two talk page stalkers to provide their opinions instead of Jimbo

• One to put in the replacement bulb anyway, with an edit summary "this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen"
• One to file another report at ANI for "Breach of WP:CIVILity and egregious Personal Attacks"
• Seven to comment at ANI whether this was uncivil or not
• One to close the ANI thread with "user warned" several days after everyone else lost interest
• One IP editor to ask whether or not a fluorescent lightbulb should be used instead on the talk page
• Thirty-one users to get into a discussion about whether or not a fluorescent lightbulb should be used
• One user to replace the incandescent lightbulb with a fluorescent lightbulb, citing a seventeen-to-fourteen consensus for doing so
• One user to undo the edit, claiming that this is not a sufficient majority
• Twenty-three users to participate in the resulting edit war
• One administrator to block sixteen of the participants in the edit war
• One administrator to extended-confirmed protect the page with the fluorescent lightbulb on
• Another administrator to open up an abuse-of-admin-powers investigation, since incandescent was the page's original state
• Seven administrators to discuss and come up with no conclusion
• One IP editor to bring up LEDs
• The Wikimedia CEO to delete the page before anyone else gets blinded or blocked
• One new user who was never told this story to create a page with the same title as the deleted page…
