 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to contribute to the encyclopedia. If you think that there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text  at the bottom of your user talk page. Please note that abuse of your user talk page may result in your editing privileges to your talk page being revoked. Also make sure to replace "your reason here" with your reason for requesting unblock. — Xauroflaux  Talk 15:23, July 11, 2017 (UTC)


 * Looks like a joke and a waste of my time and yours. I can't see what my one edit was, so I can't guess at the justification for this block. I'm in good company, though - you have blocked Angela, co-founder of Wikia, along with other current or former staff members, who might have been willing to help you if you had not been so rude..
 * Clearly you have good intentions over all, but you need a proofreader. Second sentence of text on main page: "This is the same software the powers Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects". Second sentence of your user page: "Please feel free to contact me with ant questions."
 * Your French is a bit rusty or non-existent: "Pont de Avignon" does not exist; it is Pont d'Avignon - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pont_Saint-B%C3%A9n%C3%A9zet.
 * Some of your deletions of basic templates and categories are just plain stupid.
 * Good luck.

 * I'm not being rude. The point is that users who create dozens upon dozens of categories and templates without my approval, and users who operate bots without my approval, are clearly not here to contribute to this project. All users can create and edit articles in the Main namespace freely. However, any project-related work (templates, categories, project pages, bots, etc.) has to be cleared through me or another admin if one is ever appointed. Users are not free to edit project namespace or anything used by the internal project whenever they want. — Xauroflaux  Talk 14:51, July 12, 2017 (UTC)
