I'm not an admin who can block anybody, but a single edit like that has almost never been enough to have a user blocked here. I probably would've waited to see if they continued to make bad edits before reporting them at all – JEC _talk @ 03:26, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

-*{{vandal|99.244.146.41}} Is edit-warring their vid into Fishing. --[[User:MentalMouse42|MentalMouse42]] ([[User talk:MentalMouse42|talk]]) 14:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

-*:I agree, it's been going on for a couple of days now. Based on the videos, it seems like a kid trying to self-promote. Also replaced a video in a tutorial so the new video was out of context. [[User:Amatulic|Amatulic]] ([[User talk:Amatulic|talk]]) 16:24, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
+* Block [[User:223.223.25.103]] Vandalism. PlanetVenus 11:29, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
-*::Can we voice our opinions here, or should we use the talk page? Anyway, can something like assume-good-faith-policy be applied here? I had a discussion with the person elsewhere and it seems the situation is resolved, and their actions were due to ignorance of guidelines and wiki rules, not malice. Unless the edit warring continues, I'd like to vouch for them.

-*:::I disagree. The user has re-added the video to [[fishing]] and I just reverted it a couple minutes ago. What we have here is either incompetence or bad faith. A 24-hour block is appropriate for edit-warring. [[User:Amatulic|Amatulic]] ([[User talk:Amatulic|talk]]) 18:41, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
-*:::: I note that they are now editing under an actual user account.  Their [https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Desert_pyramid?type=revision&diff=1974315&oldid=1966006 edits on Desert Pyramid] include more tutorial stuff and an innocuous but misspelled addition.  JEC6789 reverted the tutorial stuff, I fixed the mispelling. --[[User:MentalMouse42|MentalMouse42]] ([[User talk:MentalMouse42|talk]]) 22:10, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
-*{{vandal|Alexanderdoherty2}} sockpuppet of {{user|Alexdoherty2}}. [[User:TheGreatFall|TheGreatSpring]] <small>([[User talk:TheGreatFall|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/TheGreatFall|contribs]])</small> ([[MCW:Projects/Tagalog translation|Tagalog translation]]) 02:00, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
-*:One of the problems I've observed on this wiki is that there is no appeals process established for blocked editors. They can write on their talk page, but no admin may see it. The blocked user isn't given any instructions how to appeal, and there isn't any category listing of pending appeals that administrators can check. So a blocked user who wants to make constructive edits has no choice but to become a sockpuppet. The English Wikipedia has a good process that works. Every block notice template includes instructions (for example [[wikipedia:Template:Uw-block]]) for the template to use to appeal a block, and a user who applies that template gets automatically added to a category page of appeals (see [[wikipedia:Category:Requests for unblock]]). [[User:Amatulic|Amatulic]] ([[User talk:Amatulic|talk]]) 02:19, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
-*:: The thing is, if the sock were in fact to make constructive edits, we wouldn't have any objection -- indeed, if they weren't causing problems, we might not realize it was a sockpuppet.  Somehow, that doesn't seem to be how these things go.... --[[User:MentalMouse42|MentalMouse42]] ([[User talk:MentalMouse42|talk]]) 16:09, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
-::::See [[Template:unblock]] [[User:Jonjinbutter|&#91;&#91;User:Jonjinbutter&#124;ddf&#93;&#93;]] ([[User talk:Jonjinbutter|talk]])
-:::::It's good that you created that, but it's one small step. There needs to be a category page for unblock requests, preferably like on Wikipedia so it tells you status. A template for block notices is needed, which must include instructions about how to appeal a block. And administrators need to be diligent about informing a blocked user of the process when they apply a block. [[User:Amatulic|Amatulic]] ([[User talk:Amatulic|talk]]) 18:02, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
