Unblock me[edit]

{{unblock|Lack of [[WT:AGF]], 2 week block seems abusive to me.}}
{{unblock-ip|1=70.24.247.127|2=Disruptive edits|3=Metaknowledge}}

Why was I blocked? What's disruptive about making valid entries? -- 70.24.247.127 06:13, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What I saw wasn't valid. You were adding terms that are either the sum of their parts or unattestable. Please read our criteria for inclusion. If you're from Wikipedia, you might find this page helpful. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:16, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
the "landing craft, tank" form is known to anyone who knows D-Day of WWII. [1]. As for being a sum of their parts, how is that worth a 2-week block? And since it doesn't say tank landing ship, as the "tank" is not being used as an adjective, and that the comma form isn't the normal formulation of terms in English, being a military affectation, why would these qualify?
Also, per WT:WFW, where was the WT:AGF?

I'll assume that you didn't bother reading through those links, so I'll give you some highlights. From WT:WFW: "Wiktionary has a different blocking policy than Wikipedia, and is generally less lenient. While we assume good faith on Wiktionary too, we also combat vandalism and other disruptive editing more severely."
I'm having a little trouble telling, but google books:"landing craft tank" suggests that there are not enough uses (as opposed to mentions) of the term to pass the attestability rules. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:26, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like I was wrong, it seems just barely citable with a comma (but not without). Obviously, the dictionary is not helpful in citing it. By the way, I've unblocked you. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:39, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. So, should I go about recreating the comma form then? -- 70.24.247.127 06:43, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No. I restored it and cleaned it up. That's not what a blend is. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:49, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. -- 70.24.247.127 06:50, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:unblock-ip[edit]

This is a redlink, there's something wrong with Wiktionary's instructions, since it says one should use a non-existent template. -- 70.24.247.127 06:24, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where does it recommend that? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:26, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What do I do now?

If instructions are given above in the block message, follow them.

If you wish to appeal the block, or you believe you have been blocked by mistake, please see the following section.
Appealing
The current block will automatically expire 06:12, 1 January 2013. You have many routes to appeal the block or its duration. Firstly, if you are a registered user and have a valid e-mail address confirmed, you can contact Metaknowledge via e-mail (via that link, or by clicking on the "E-mail this user" link to the left of their userpage). This feature can be removed if abused. You should include the following information about your block in all such communication: Username: 70.24.247.127, IP address: 70.24.247.127, Block ID: 96147.
Alternatively, you may appeal the block by requesting that another administrator review the block. To do so, add
{{unblock|your reason here}} to the bottom of your user talk page to request unblocking. You must state a reason for this, and the block can then be discussed.
If 70.24.247.127 is not blocked, your IP address (70.24.247.127) or range may have been blocked. Please check here. If this is the case, please copy and paste the following text to the bottom of your user talk page.
{{unblock-ip|1=70.24.247.127|2=Disruptive edits|3=Metaknowledge}}
Please note: While this block may be upsetting or unexpected, abuse of appeal processes, repeatedly using the unblock template when denied, personal attacks, or impolite conduct may lead to the removal of your ability to edit your talk page.

It shows up when one tries to edit anything, which is how I found out I was blocked. -- 70.24.247.127 06:30, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thank you very much. I've tracked that down to MediaWiki:Blockedtext, and I'll change it. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:32, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Should I file something at the technical discussion group about this? -- 70.24.247.127 06:44, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No. I already did :) —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:45, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
