Thank you for long-ago help

Some nice jazz for you.
Back in October 2017, on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:About_the_Sandbox, you helped someone delete their sandbox, and told them about db-u1. Trying to solve the same problem, I found your help and used it. Thank you. Tagus (talk) 14:12, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh

I should have let someone else reblock the /32 from hell. You deserve a beer for likely having to deal with the complaints for the last 2 years... TonyBallioni (talk) 15:14, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TonyBallioni: You have my sympathies ... trying to think of them as amusing did help a bit, though. Graham87 15:18, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RE: re-blocked

Please, if that's the issue, let me explain. I gave you only the most recent ones and the ones which contained edit summary because I thought that was the main problem. I didn't know why my IP changed; it also changed a few times when I simply turned the PC off due to there being a freezing. I didn't put the others also because I didn't remember all of them at the time and I wanted to show you the most recent one and the ones which contained always an edit summary. I used the other IPs to make bold editings (now I'm always using the edit summary and always adding WP:Be bold to show that I'm making a bold edit) and start discussions to see if I could keep up with it and being responsive; and the recent ones which always contained an edit summary. That's why I gave you first only the recent ones, but I can and planned to give you the others too.

They all go back to July, which is about one month; I thought one week only wouldn't be enough to prove I learned and at least more than four weeks was better to show consistency. I didn't know it was a problem as long as I would acknowledge them in my reply to you. I linked you only the most recent ones because these were the ones I first thought of; I would have showed you the others once I found them. I also thought it was enough to acknowledge it as I did in the talk pages I was involved, like this. I'm really sorry for creating confusion; that was exactly what I wanted to avoid. From now on, I will use the IP only to reply you here and not edit anymore. I honestly didn't know about block evasion (I didn't read about it until only now; I'm sure there're probably other things I haven't read yet, but I'm trying to learn and do my best), that's why when I wanted to edit or discuss something when I was blocked I didn't do it myself to avoid any issue, but I wanted to still contribuite in other ways (thankfully, I found one person who had my similar interests and so I suggested some edits he could do himself and I merely helped him writing in talk:pages because he doesn't talk English very well; I can now ask him to create an account as well to avoid any other issue). It was only recently that I had this idea to actually edit myself to see whether I learned and changed; and that it wouldn't have been a problem as long as I aknlowedged the ones I used, which is exactly what I did; but unfortunately I linked you only the most recent ones which contained all edit summaries for the reasons I stated above.

As I stated, I was upset when I first saw the block back then, so I just decided to quit and that's why I didn't reply back until now. However, with time and fixing my problems, I decided I wanted to see if I could be back; however, I didn't know how. I don't remember when was the last time I tried to log in, I forgot my password and even that I could actually still use the talk:page to edit (I thought I was blocked from everything, exactly like it's now; and that's why, I thought, I didn't reply you in the first place back then). It was only these days I saw I could reply you back and that's what I did it (it was also consistent with the time I gave myself to prove whether it would even be worth to talk about and show I have changed); if I didn't see that, I would have probably written you that message with the IP. If that was the only issue, it was a misunderstanding, that's why I showed you only the most recent one; I was going to show you the others too, especially if you asked, but I thought in that case it was important to show you the most recent ones, also for the reasons stated above (couldn't find/remember all of them, etc.). Please, what can I do now? Is there anything I can do about it? Thank you and apologies again for the misunderstanding.--82.49.228.114 (talk) 04:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
