Be aware, you can reach me on my talk page, but I won't be actively contributing much.  Hello, welcome to my talk page!

If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~ 

Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

 * While I agree it may not have been appropriate to speculate as to hypothetical situations for your BlackWidowMovie0000Editor account, the decline by Naleksuh was reasonable in that, given the tenuous situation in which you find yourself, it doesn't make sense to create a new wiki at this time, on which you'd be the sole bureaucrat and administrator. I see no problem with you waiting a week. Focus on editing on your other wikis, and show us that you can contribute positively here as opposed to not positively. This decision is ✅. You may ask once for a second opinion of my decline of your unblock request, but that's it. Dmehus (talk) 18:53, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Extended block
Hi. I have decided to extend your block from the Main namespace for another two weeks (thereby shortening the current sitewide block, but extending the partial originally imposed). The reasons behind this decision is the fact that after you were originally blocked from the Main namespace, you continued to make the same mistakes that lead to the block, on Meta Wiki's three "sister community wikis" (i.e. removing active administrator notices after being repeatedly asked not to and editing other users' comments after final warning and other partial blocks), and in addition had to be blocked sitewide here by Dmehus after you continued to misbehave outside of the Main namespace which you were blocked from. This proves that you have not learned at all from your block, and therefore need more time to reflect on how to improve your behavior and adhere to Meta's policies and customs. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 20:25, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The only block I had was a self-requested block on Commons, to prevent me from jumping in too quickly. No active admin notices were removed. I never edited any other users' comments. I don't understand the reasons for this block.

 * While it's true your block on Miraheze Commons was self-requested and you didn't remove the administrator notices on the partner Miraheze community wikis, you did, in good-faith possibly, remove an administrative notice on TestWiki, your behaviour on Miraheze Commons, Miraheze Template Wiki, and Miraheze Developers Wiki has been disruptive. Moreover, as I've come to understand it, you were going to request global interwiki administrator upon your being unblocked. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be an issue, but requesting rights so soon after behavioural issues relating to both disruption and competency indicates that this extension was necessary. As such, I do 's block extension. Dmehus (talk) 21:32, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I accidentally removed the block notice on TestWiki, it was a mistake. I was going to request local interwiki admin on mcuwiki, not here, and how was I being disruptive on Commons, devwiki, and templatewiki?

 * If you have any links you need added to Marvel Cinematic Universe, I would submit that it is not necessary at this time, as Universal Omega is a  on that wiki, together with you, and can add any interwiki prefixes you request. I'm reluctant to engage a discussion regarding your warnings on those other Miraheze community wikis, but suffice it to say, the fact you don't know how you were being disruptive on any of them is a problem. Some of the disruption on one or more of the wikis was more problematic than on the third, to be sure, but was more of the same repetition of the problematic behaviour, observed broadly, on Meta. Dmehus (talk) 21:40, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I see what you meant by "disruptive editing", I hadn't been on templatewiki for 2 days, so I didn't see the talk page message.

Edit warring and Meta interaction ban breach
Hi BlackWidowMovie0000Editor,

I have sent the same message to Cocopuff2018, but just wanted to let you know that both of you were in an obvious breach of your two-way 30-day interaction ban on Meta. As the edits were in good-faith, I have decided not to block, but consider this your final warning on the matter. "Construed broadly" means exactly that: no interaction with each other on Meta for the duration of the sanction, even if the edits are in good-faith or WikiGnome-y.

Thanks,

Dmehus (talk) 17:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes, and I realize that, that's why I said it was in good-faith. However, the two of you are not to interact with each other, broadly, on Meta. This includes minor corrections to the other's posts. You were technically the first user to breach the restriction; Cocopuff2018 was in breach by reverting you, so that is also problematic, but I am more concerned with your behaviour, and will be discussing with on any possible next steps. Dmehus (talk) 17:59, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I just responded to YOU on your talk, not to him. Keep that in mind. Also, there was no clarification on grammatical corrections, so I edited the comments, as you do, just for the grammar. And what next steps would be taken? I'm not really sure.

 * I don't have an issue with you making minor corrections to syntax or other typographical errors. My concern is that you made the corrections to Cocopuff2018's post.

Competence is required and "I didn't hear that!" disruption
Hi BlackWidowMovie0000Editor,

Following a private discussion with other Meta administrators, there was unanimous consensus that, very regrettably, you seem to have difficulty functioning in a community-oriented environment, mainly related to issues around your competency. When administrators and other users express points to you, you either (a) don't understand the core problem or (b) you are not hearing the message.

As such, we do feel that at this time, it is in the best interests of the community to exclude you from participation on Meta Wiki on an indefinite basis. You may appeal your block once every three (3) months. In each appeal, you must identify the core problem(s), not specific instances of your mistakes, and, crucially, what you will do to correct them and, where necessary, what forced restrictions are necessary to prevent reoccurrence. In that time, though, I do strongly encourage you to read through your user talk page archives, and reconsider the points expressed to you.

And, as a general reminder, while you are under active indefinite block on Meta (and other wikis), you may not create and use additional accounts on wikis where blocked, per user accounts policy and as NDKilla and I have reminded you elsewhere.

Thanks,

Dmehus (talk) 18:43, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd like to appeal now. It technically is once every 3 months, and if I fail, great. Nothing to lose, is there? Miraheze is my life, so, I'll try and get my life back.
