Thanks for uploading File:Ronald-Carlile-Buxton.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:45, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Since 2023, you've been topic banned "human genitalia, broadly construed". Checkuser shows that you've logged out to edit in this topic area at least 10 times since March. Given the nature of these edits-- which would have resulted in at least a month-long block if made from your main-- and the previous blocks you've had for socking and attempting to circumvent restrictions, I have blocked you indefinitely. I'm not opposed to this block being reduced in some way, but if that happens you will likely be on your last chance with editing. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 19:01, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Moneytrees: I completely apologise. I shouldn't have made any of those edits, and I won't make any excuses. I'd like to kindly request a page block of the pages that I edited, and I can promise that I will have nothing to do with them in future. Alternatively, I would ask if this block can be reduced to 2 weeks per the terms of the unblock here. Again, I apologise, I should not have thought I could make changes to unprotected articles after the unappealable period, which was wrong of me. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 23:57, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the honesty. It'd be a bit awkward for me to page block you from the articles you edited logged out, as doing so could invertedly reveal your IP address, which is a situation I'm supposed to avoid as a CU. Also, you and checkusers know which articles you edited, and you're already under the topic ban, so I'm not sure if there's much of a function of making such a page block. I think my suggestion above for a month-long block would maybe be more practical. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 01:26, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Moneytrees: thank you for replying. Can I ask if a month-long block from mainspace would be feasible? If so, I will accept that and kindly ask if you could impose that sanction. If that is also not practical, I will accept a month-long block. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 01:37, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I thought on this and asked some other checkusers for their thoughts... I think a partial block will be seen as a bit too lenient; so I've downgraded the block to a month long one. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 15:35, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
