Citi Field[edit]

Unless something has changed today, the ballpark is Citi Field, not Mets Field. You need to undo that move pronto. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:05, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, we'll see you at WP:ANI. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:26, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

October 2011[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Florida Marlins, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give 2011 Florida Marlins season a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Per the recent thread at WP:ANI this account is blocked until you convince us that you won't engage in any further pranks or disruptions. Moreover, a checkuser may need look at the technical evidence and see whether this account is connected to any other banned or blocked users. Jehochman ^Talk 12:14, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

since this account is confirmed not to be linked to any abusive names, I am requesting an unblock. I do apologize for annoying Baseball Bugs with a renaming of Mets Field. I was hoping the pages would be moved back without having to block, but I guess user:Jehochman suspected I might be linked to another blocked user. I agree not to make anymore pranks page moves.

Decline reason:

Checkuser confirmed block evasion. TN X Man 15:23, 10 October 2011 (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.
