User talk:Zeke Essiestudy

Hi, I can't do this anymore. I'm going to just say it, I'm locked user Ezekiel53746, as well as the tower of accounts listed here* and here, as well as any similarly-named accounts on websites like Commons (Bulbasaur1928 ) and MediaWiki (Sunny chan 465), I can't really list them all off-hand (especially ones from 2013) but let's just say it was way too many. I'm very sorry for all of the disruption I've caused to this community and hub. I really am. And for wasting everyone's time. My apologies especially go to Strange Passerby, Only, Courcelles, Mike lifeguard, Versageek, DoRD, Fisher Queen, and Mentifisto for having to deal with my blind actions over and over and over again, to the point of it being repulsive.

At this point, I expect an immediate block and nothing else to be read but I want to explain myself a bit for anyone that's wondering... why? Why did I disrupt Wikipedia?

I've always been an unusual and different person from most of you, in fact I'm pretty sure I'm a right-brain dominant person. Impulsiveness, being spontaneous, subjective statements, what have you. The reason why I did what I did during these years was because I found how angry people got funny and I simply couldn't process that any of my actions were "wrong", which is why many of my unblock requests were "please unblock me" or "I'm not doing disruptive editing". I was a hyper child that wasn't compatible with Wikipedia's goals. This is also why I defended shoddy versions of the user warning templates, if I recall correctly back then it felt like an attack on my creativity and I didn't know how flawed they were. No matter what I did I just got denied all over the place. I felt kind of depressed and angry. Kind of like how a kid would feel if they weren't allowed in a certain club. And thus this fueled more attempts to disrupt Wikipedia that went nowhere, even breaking my promise to Strange Passerby.

It was only in 2014 I got a consicence and really thought "what is the point of any of this disruption? doesn't it just amount to the same old crap anyway?". I really meant the words on the linked IP talk page. Nonetheless, it was obvious Ezekiel53746 would never be unblocked or unlocked anyway, so I instead created another account... this one. And therefore violating the sock puppet policy again. I'm honestly surprised not a single person has suspected me being connected to Ezekiel53746. The like of nuvolas icons, user warnings, messing around in the sandbox, interest in backstage areas... It's all the same as always. Even "Zeke" should be a dead giveaway. Perhaps it's because unlike back then, I have actually improved. I made this account because I wanted to try to help the people here. Prove I can do things without being disruptive.

Why am I even posting this? I'm ahead of the game, not a single person suspects me, I can keep this up, so why confess? Mostly because of guilt. Not just here, but on several places that I've attempted to abandon my past on. Lying to myself just isn't good. I feel bad because I've never actually addressed the block, never got actually let back in my the community. I just started anew and hid who I really was, just as I did the past 50 accounts. I'm confirming being the owner of these accounts (see: User talk:Sunny Chan 564) but at the same time... I honestly can't believe I was them. I can't believe I once used to be this sorry sack of a child. Regardless, it's the truth that I kept running away from and I never tried to make it right. That's the way it is. I don't know if I'm ever going to learn, it probably would've been better if I never discovered the edit feature at all.

But hey... I hit three years without causing any time-consuming trouble. That's the longest any active account of mine has ever gone without a block and for that time period I think I did just fine. So in a way, I did achieve the goal I mentioned above. Heh. Lately I've been reverting vandalism and fixing small problems on articles just because but I think I've hit the limit of what I can really do here. For what I'd really want to edit (let's say things like Super Monkey Ball levels or Danganronpa V3 characters), I don't think Wikipedia will allow that, and Wikia sites are more appropriate for that, so if this account is blocked I'll just migrate there. Either way, hopefully my edits improved something, whether it be a small template or a notable article.

Once again, sorry for all the trouble and hopefully I can actually redeem myself in the future instead of hiding behind yet another account. Zeke Essiestudy (talk/contributions) 01:23, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Given my past disruptive history contrasting my current, more reasonable history, what do you think is the right way for me to continue? Zeke Essiestudy (talk/contributions) 02:15, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Since you are community banned, your ban can only be overturned by consensus at WP:AN. I would recommend you copy your full confession there, as it is quite well written (and obviously heartfelt). It is also imperative that you not edit Wikipedia any further until that discussion reaches a consensus. Thank you for this heartfelt apology, and I wish you the best of luck. Bradv 03:08, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. But, I should clarify I do not actually have a community ban: I meant "banned" as in de facto. None of my accounts have an official community ban, the "proposal" I linked to for the first list failed because people saw though that account, and the account they were linked to that does have a ban, I have no affiliation with. Pickbothmanlol being attached to my accounts always confused me because it is not a username I would think of (see first account list up to "Petunia the skunk") and even Versageek said my IPs differ from his in geolocation. But, I do have 50 accounts with effective blocks that I admit to, which is a valid problem. I'll take it over to the Admins' Noticeboard. Zeke Essiestudy (talk/contributions) 03:14, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Apparently the advice I gave you was incorrect. You need to appeal the ban from your main account per the standard offer. If you no longer have access to that account, you can email UTRS. Sorry for the confusion. Bradv 04:19, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

UTRS won't work as the main account is global locked, and UTRS does not consider appeals from globally locked accounts. en.wiki generally only accepts appeals from the named master/original account. This means in order to appeal your block on the English Wikipedia, you need to appeal your global lock to the stewards on meta and then if that is granted, appeal from your primary account.

Extended content

William James Sidis Hey am sorry about that I was just to my a point that you cant trust nothing on the Internet but yes I if I do make some changes it will be true and again trying to prove a point and it wont happen again — Preceding unsigned comment added by Punecake (talk • contribs) 17:18, 31 August 2018 (UTC) Okay, but "proving you can't trust anything on the internet" is kind of a weak excuse... See Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point.

He asked me to update his page with just the minimum of material. What was there was damaging to the station's reputation and was not necessary since the material was published by someone else not involved with the station. We would like to know who that person was as legal actions may be taken. The material that was removed by me was, in fact, damaging to the reputation of both Mr. Lotsof and the station. I am one of his part-time announcers (I work for him for free as I have been his friend since the middle '60s.) At this time we are both senior citizens who are not trying to 'pull' anything on wikipedia. There was another time that I changed an article. This was near the beginning of reddit.com and some clown has seriously damaged an article with racist and outer-space garbage. I didn't get approached like this when I corrected the article. It's been so long (I'm one of Reddit's senior members, as a member for 11 years-since Nov. 22, 2006.) I am too old to be playing games with Wikipedia or any other publication where I hold similar abilities. I hope you will find it OK for the edits I made. They are made at the request of the owner of KAVV. I'm not sure what email I am registered here with but my main email address today is (I have several for various purposes): jackealexander at gmail dot com and would appreciate your take on my edits. I hope you find them to be reasonable and honest to a 'T'. Regards...Jack E. Alexander — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack.E.Alexander (talk • contribs) 22:44, 1 September 2018 (UTC) I see... so you have a history with him. On one hand, I feel like this could be a potential conflict of interest (Wikipedia's policy on that is here), and the fact that tips on how to conceal child porn (good god) were apparently broadcast at one point definitely seems notable enough to at least mention (it's just that maybe it can be reduced to a brief statement to reduce any bad reputation). On the other, I understand that you and this KAVV owner don't want the nasty past to reflect on you anymore than it does today. So even though I'm not sure if this edit qualifies as a conflict of interest or not, I'll let it stick. I'm sure neither of you actually broadcasted... whatever that was. But really, I might be the wrong person to ask, I would suggest reaching out to some of the local administrators on this site and asking for their input, then a consensus on if that incident should be on the page or not can be reached.

File:Roblox Gameplay Aug 2008.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:19, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

editToken

Hello Zeke Essiestudy,

Your script User:Zeke Essiestudy/common.js is no longer functional because it attempts to get an editToken from mw.user.tokens. The script should instead get a csrfToken. editTokens were removed from mw.user.tokens on October 3, 2019 at Phabricator during this edit as they were redundant to csrfTokens.– BrandonXLF (talk) 00:06, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

You're unblocked

Happy editing. Drmies (talk) 02:10, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Zeke Essiestudy (talk/contributions) 03:07, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

{{help}}

When I try to edit, it still gives me the standard block message for Ezekiel53746. It's not even the autoblock message. I've tried clearing my browser cache and it still shows up. Is this normal? Zeke Essiestudy (talk/contributions) 03:24, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Nevermind, all I had to do was clear my browser cookies and that fixed the problem. Zeke Essiestudy (talk/contributions) 03:38, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Please remove the <big></big> tags in you signature, per WP:SIGAPP. Thank you. ―Qwerfjkltalk 09:16, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done It's supposed to be a specific font but not every computer is gonna have it installed so I was considering just making the "Zeke Essiestudy" bit an image but I'm not sure if that's allowed either so I'll leave it alone for now. Zeke Essiestudy (talk/contributions) 09:31, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

You are correct about not being allowed to use images (see WP:SIGIMAGE). ―Qwerfjkltalk 10:41, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
