Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Login session are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for long-term persistent self-promotion.
If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Ponyobons mots 22:43, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
@Ponyo Thank you Sir for blocking me to prevent any further disruptive non-meaningfull edits from me.
I want to honestly appreciate for that. Those things happened because i was an illitrate in the world of wiki with no basic knowledge and understanding of Wiki and its rules and as such i needed to be blocked. I have now learnt from my mistakes and i am honestly pleading that you take a look at my Unblock request. I am truly sorry and responsible for my bad behaviors.
Please take a look at my Unblock request. Wmbata (talk) 16:04, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Request reason:

I want to truly apologize to Wikipedia and the board of administrators for my unreasonable and disruptive edits and unintentional edits and blanking as I was a new user trying to understand how this encyclopedia works even after been under mentor. To be honest, i created an account here years ago without even knowing what wikepedia is all about and years later i met someone who was a contributor here in wikipedia and he offered to mentor me on how the platform works. on my first try, i unintentionally blanked a page and other disruptive edits which i cannot clearly remember. Later again, I did another annoying disruptive edits (which i am still very much ashamed of) by posting a promotional content of myself (which i totally regret). Then later on, my mentor told me to request for account vanishing stating that it was the only way for my account to be completely deleted and an opportunity to create a new account to avoid been accused of block evasion. Which i did but thanks to the community for declining it. All this happened because i have no basic knowledge on how to use the wiki platform. Then i came across other Wikipedia sisters projects like Wiktionary and had a better understanding of wiki projects which i was later blocked for using LLM to make comments for arguments (I have also requested for unblock and totally stopped/abstained from using AI in any way for making edits; waiting for admins to review it). With my unintentional experience on Wikipedia and Wiktionary, i was able to completely understand the basics and how Wiki project works and i have been actively contributing on Wikimedia Commons (Translating the English Wikimedia Commons to Nigeria Pidgin) and Wikiversity with prior knowledge and to avoid any violations of the rules. I am open to start contributing on Wikipedia also with honesty and obedience and promise to never violate any policy. I want to also point out that I unknowingly performed block evasion by creating a new account (this was because i didn't know the rules and it implications and i am truly sorry). Please review my unblock request. Thank you!! Wmbata (talk) 18:06, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Decline reason:

"my mentor told me to request for account vanishing stating that it was the only way for my account to be completely deleted and an opportunity to create a new account to avoid been accused of block evasion." If your mentor told you that here on en.wikipedia.org, please point to exactly where they did so. This information is categorically incorrect in every respect. In any case, I'm not at all convinced you plan to continue editing outside of your narrow self-interest, if unblocked. Instead, I suspect you plan to attempt to WP:VANISH again. We won't unblock you to do that. Yamla (talk) 13:47, 1 June 2026 (UTC)


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.

@Yamla ​ Thank you sir for responding to me. But you misunderstood what I was trying to point out between me and my mentor, and I want to humbly clarify it. That happened years ago and I was trying to explain the reason he said so. He said so because he wanted me to create a new account and start over again. But on my own, I have learnt where I have been wrong all along and I am willing to take responsibility. ​And also, as you suspected that if unblocked, I could request for WP:VANISH again, but based on what I have learnt here, before a vanish is granted, the admins will have to review the user carefully, and in my case, I don't think that would be possible for it to be granted to me. Also i want to clarify that, I am not in any way interested in WP:VANISH ever again. ​And as for my NARROW SELF-INTEREST, it happened because I didn't know what Wiki is actually all about and about its rules. Please, I would like to humbly ask you to take a proper look at my edit history. You will see that those edits were not sensible and were totally meaningless to the world of Wiki; that was because I had no basic knowledge of Wiki. But I now have knowledge of what Wiki is all about, and that is why I am sincerely pleading for an unblock because I am now ready to contribute in a meaningful way and be submissive to the rules. Please sir, if you still don't believe me, I would like to respectfully request that you closely monitor me and see the changes. Please sir, I am honestly pleading. And again i want to honestly point out that after my bad behaviors as a new user with no basic knowledge on Wikipedia and Wiktionary, i have learnt about my mistakes and my wrong doings and i have learnt from from them and is genuinely contributing to Wikimedia Commons. Please sir i have truly changed Wmbata (talk) 18:32, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You socked twice after your first unblock request was declined on this account. The purpose of that socking was to harass the admins who blocked you (on here and another project) and to post random comments on other pages, despite the fact that you said you wanted to vanish. You have also been requesting vanishing since your first unblock request, but you suddenly changed your mind just four days after your last request was declined. I suggest that you take the standard offer. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:09, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

{{checkuser needed}} voorts (talk/contributions) 01:32, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
I used CheckUser and found Special:Contributions/Ifeomak. This seems to be a sock of Wmbata. PhilKnight (talk) 02:17, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
Also, there is User_talk:Wmbata2 who is already blocked. PhilKnight (talk) 02:24, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
Hi @Voorts and @PhilKnight I really want to thank you for still giving me an opportunity to talk after reviewing my account instead of declining me and I want to thank you for that.
In my unblock request, I stated that I unknowingly performed block evasion. That was for (Wmbata2) after being blocked on (Wmbata). I didn't know this was against the rules, like I said before I was totally new to Wiki. Even the names are identical, that doesn't look like I was purposely or intentionally violating the rules.
As for Ifeomak, I didn't create this account for Wikipedia, I created it on Wiktionary but it automatically logged in to Wikipedia when I visited it through a link.
Please I have acknowledged that I was totally wrong and that is why I am honestly appealing.
I have now learnt better about Wiki and that is why i am sincerely pleading for an opportunity to start contributing in a meaningful way, please consider my appeal Wmbata (talk) 11:07, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
How did you "unknowingly upload" a file to Commons? voorts (talk/contributions) 23:06, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
Thanks @Voorts for responding to me. I'm sorry if my wording caused some confusion. I want to clarify that the image file was the first file i uploaded on Wikimedia Commons, it was a screenshot and i uploaded it as "own work" without having prior knowledge of Commons strict copyright policies. And i am glad that an editor found it and flagged it for deletion because it violated Commons policy. Wmbata (talk) 06:13, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
