User talk:Arina

You were blocked for editing other users talk page messages yesterday, and the very first edit after being unblocked you are editing other users Userspace again. This is completely unacceptable behavior and must stop immediately. Please adhere to Rule #2, including not editing other users pages, not edit warring, and not inserting HTML style comments <!-- --> on any pages outside of your own userspace. Inserting those comments falls under disruptive editing. If you continue to ignore the wiki rules you will be banned for a period of one month, and any additional infractions will be a permanent ban.

Userboxes aren't creator's property. I don't care if someone's ableist. Arina () 09:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Please adhere to Rule #2 - which says "Do not vandalize, spam, or otherwise edit disruptively". I'm not vandalizing. I'm not spamming. I'm not editing disruptively, because disruptive editing, as defined on Wikipedia, is a pattern of editing that disrupts progress toward improving an article or building the encyclopedia. User's pages aren't articles. They're not helping to build an encyclopedia. Start a discussion if you want a different definiton of disruptive editing to be accepted here.

any additional infractions will be a permanent ban - indefinite blocks aren't permanent. Arina () 09:30, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Also I thought you were always advocating for the "Wiki for users first, editors second" principle. What happened that you changed your stance after you became a sysop? Arina () 11:46, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

@Mudscape: Repeatedly removing information from wiki pages without explanation - what does that even mean? Repeatedly editing other users userspace without permission - wp:Ownership of content - you don't need permission to edit other people's userspace. Lift the block. Arina () 13:07, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

This may be an inactive conversation, but Arina, you shouldn't be editing other's userpages unless they break the rules. You've been editing other's pages by changing template colors, you're also editing other's messages, when they should only be edited if they're rule-breaking. Most MediaWiki wikis work that way. Also, you shouldn't simply just list a few facts and say "lift the block". show an actual reason why you should be unblocked, or better yet, I'd advise waiting the block out. The admins here at the Minecraft Wiki rarely accept unblock requests, unless the block is too long for the user to handle or they were mistakenly blocked. I would advise to take time and think carefully about what you're doing before you hit the "Save" button, as you seem to have a tendency to edit other's pages without them breaking the rules. Thanks. Also, the user MinecraftExp123 has good advice for you on why you shouldn't edit others pages, which is what I agree with. ARandomUser6636 (talk) 20:07, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) while it seems you created your account on April 12, 2025 how did you know that Arina was blocked in the first place when she was blocked 8 days before you created your account. 98.235.155.81 18:53, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month, for disruptive editing. Your block log can be found here. You have been warned multiple times to stop editing other users Userspace pages and you continue. Please see WP:Gaming the system. If you cannot see that edit warring over a userbox color is something that is bad for this wiki then this isn't a space that you are welcome to edit in. If you have an issue with another users page then leave them a talk page message either asking them to change it or asking for permission to edit it. After the one month block is over any further editing of User pages other than your own, without permission, will result in an indefinite block. If you think the block was made as a mistake and/or you think there are good reasons for you to be unblocked, you may discuss the block with administrators on your talk page here. However, if this is abused, your talk page access may be revoked as well. While you are blocked, please do not create any new accounts to edit with – this is called sock puppetry and in most cases, all accounts that were created by a registered account which is blocked will be blocked indefinitely. Once this block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. Thank you. Mudscape 👁 Image

Why are you cherrypicking certain Wikipedia's policies while completely ignoring existence of other ones? If you have an issue with another users page then leave them a talk page message either asking them to change it or asking for permission to edit it - nobody owns content on this wiki so no, I don't need and won't ask for anyone's permission to edit their userspace. Userspace is not your personal homepage! Arina () 13:23, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Both your linked WP:OWN, as well as WP:UOWN mention that user pages are generally not edited by other users except for rule violations and basic housekeeping. Contacting the user on their talk page instead is even recommended there. None of your edits fell into the conventionally accepted edits and even if they did the rules against edit warring would still apply. So if anyone is cherrypicking policies it would be you. Please reflect on your actions during your block and try to understand the reasoning behind warnings your receive instead of just ignoring them. -- 👁 Image

Right, and improving accessibility is "basic housekeeping". Contacting the user on their talk page instead is even recommended there - recommended ≠ mandatory. Arina () 13:41, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

I know this conversation as been inactive for a while, but Arina, here's an explanation:

Pages in the user space are only supposed to be edited by that user themselves, unless they break the rules. That's how most MediaWiki wikis work. --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 08:00, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello Arina. Since your block has nearly expired, I thought I'd leave a message for you. We've had conflicts, no doubt about that. But I will say one thing about that: I do not hold you to anything you did in the past. I want to leave those conflicts behind. I also want to say that even though your edits haven't always been the best, I still think you're a good user. You, yes, you, Arina, are a good user with good intentions. Quite frankly editing the wiki has lost a bit of its fun since your block, 'cause you always provide a fresh perspective, determined to defend your words. It is this determination in particular that I enjoy; not everyone can keep going despite everyone telling them they're wrong. I know for a fact that I have little to none of that kind of determination, but you do. I hope that when your block ends, the wiki will end up a better place from your arguments and determination to make the wiki a better place for everyone. I do say that while no one's ever been perfect, your arguments are never, ever, with no valid reason. I thank you for your efforts to improve this wiki, and I look forward to your block expiring :) -~- Nerdyguy2000   Talk   Edits  01:51, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello Arina, I have noticed you haven't edited in sometime I hope you are doing alright. 2601:981:4401:1CC0:303C:46B7:FEF2:4209 18:39, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Hmm I wonder why she's been inactive. 98.235.155.81 18:47, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Arina must have logged out of the system, and probably for good. Mix (talk) 19:51, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
