Unblock Eric Bagwell
Please, unblock me! I won't create fake blogs again! Honest! Eric Bagwell (talk) 03:06, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but there was a reason why I blocked you. Please refer to the Awful Movies Wiki to ask questions on your talk page. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:14, 3 April 2021 (UTC)


 * There! I refered to Awful Movies Wiki! Please unblock me, so I can do good editing. Eric Bagwell (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll respond to it when I get the chance. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 14:33, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Please, unblock me at Greatest Movies Wiki! Honest! Eric Bagwell (talk) 20:12, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Since you're being so impatient, I'm not going to unblock you. You need to have patience. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:14, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 In fairness, he did ask about ten (10) days ago, so that does suggest he is being patient. Perhaps you can provide an estimated timeframe on when you expect to action his request? Dmehus (talk) 20:18, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but I mainly blocked him because he was acting like Red hair, a globally locked user. What he and Red hair had in common is that all they talk about is the Fox/Disney merger being bad. I'll unblock him on the conditions that he stops this behavior. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:22, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 Ah, okay, thanks. I would also recommend pointing him to your wiki's style guidelines and local policies. Keep in mind that many users have similar views on such things as the Fox/Disney merger, so that in isolation is not indicative that the user may be related to a previously locked user. There should be significant other behavioural similarities and characteristics. Anyway, I appreciate the follow-up. Dmehus (talk) 20:24, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm gonna have patience, and you're respond to it when you get a cance, DarkMatterMan4500. I'll clam myself down. I'm waiting to be unblocked. Eric Bagwell (talk) 20:23, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, you've been unblocked on that said wiki now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:26, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Why, thank you. Eric Bagwell (talk) 20:35, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

While I'm having patience, are you gonna unblock me at Best TV Shows Wiki, Terrible TV Shows Wiki and Awful Movies Wiki? Eric Bagwell (talk) 20:50, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * No, not right now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:51, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Then, I'll wait here. Eric Bagwell (talk) 21:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Regarding Special:RequestWikiQueue/17677
Why did you decline it? The reason made absolutely no sense. Thanks. 20:08, 12 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I was asked a similar question the other day, so in return, my same reply will go like this: I thought it could cause problems. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:13, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay and I am going to repeat my question which has not been answered: Why did you decline it? 20:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Mainly due to the concerns that some of the contents would probably violate the Content Policies. Remember this request for comment? I do hope the wiki in question doesn't get the same violations as what the other Scratcher Wikis had. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:18, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That is why me and Dmehus asked questions. shrugs Anyway, please do not decline such requests from the next time. Thank you. 20:21, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ If anything, those canned responses are the only things I'm allowed to answer with rather than my own when declining or approving. I don't know why that's the case, but I guess that's how it is. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:25, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * "I don't know why that's the case, but I guess that's how it is." It used to be different before canned responses were implemented, you could write whatever you wanted. But that has changed and you must choose from that dropdown now but you can add more items by requesting Sysadmins. 20:38, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Canned replies in this situation shouldn't be a requirement for this exact reason. Zppix (Meta &#124; talk to me) 21:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Canned responses aren't perfect, but in situations like this, one can always add a comment either before or after actioning the wiki request. For what it's worth, my personal view here is that it would be reasonable to decline this wiki request if the user didn't respond to the question(s) posed within a few hours, but then I'd just decline it as "needs more details," and add an additional comment (if required). Dmehus (talk) 21:24, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * While we're on this exact topic, those canned responses should've been optional, and not a requirement. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:32, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, the idea behind the canned responses was two-fold, namely to:
 * Streamline and automate wiki creator workflow; and,
 * Improve the accuracy of the CreateWiki extension's machine learning algorithms so that we can one day allow for wiki requests to be automatically declined or, eventually, automatically approved within prescribed metrics. Dmehus (talk) 21:35, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * While it doesn't make sense for some Wiki creators, it's important to be sufficient when comparing how many requests we get on a day-to-day basis. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 21:39, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * DarkMatterMan4500 That's exactly right. Canned responses may not be perfect, but overall, they're designed to help us operate more efficiently. Dmehus (talk) 21:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * At least it's better than your typical generic responses like "Approved!", or something like that. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 00:24, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Harassment


The user has inappropriately replied. Please take action. Thanks. "Waterasteroidtheplebdog" is an insult used by his socks on Fandom against me. Thank you. --Firestar464 (talk) 04:06, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I would suggest you don't interact with that said user anymore. It's been dealt with anyway. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:53, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your advice! Firestar464 (talk) 10:20, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
