Edgar181

Please don't imagine some nefarious purpose in my actions or even anything meaningful. Breaking the rules was simply for my own entertainment. I have a habit of pushing boundaries, often to the point of recklessness, for no other purpose than finding it fun. My participation in Wikipedia has always been because I find it fun - it's a hobby. I took playing with Wikipedia too far - I broke the rules just for self-amusement and got caught. There's really no more to it than that. I'm sorry that I caused this trouble. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:18, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello Edgar181, if you still want to contribute educational chemistry to a wiki, you can go to Justapedia.org. Also I think your contributions to Wikipedia where great. Atlas Þə Biologist (talk) 01:20, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Edgar181, I am required to notify you about a community ban discussion about you at the Administrators' noticeboard. However, between my decision to create the discussion and the implementation of my decision, a similar discussion was already created at WP:ANI. I am sorry for the unnecessary duplicate discussion and notification. Feel free to remove this message when you have read it, unless you'd like to keep it here for whatever reason. I don't want to be "gravedancing" here. Again, sorry. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:10, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

The discussion was eventually held at AN, and the result is that you have been banned by community consensus. Any potential return to editing would need to be predicated on community consensus for your return, as well as committee approval for the lifting of the block. Let me know if you have any questions. –xeno^talk 13:25, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

• Hi Ed. I'm not sure what to say about the sockpuppetry, but whatever your motivations, you did a lot of good work here—both as "yourself" and as Deli nk—so I wanted to thank you for that. I hope you're well, and take care. MastCell ^Talk 16:23, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
• Hi, Ed. I hope you're doing OK. I completely agree with MastCell that you did a lot of good work. Bishonen | talk 16:49, 7 December 2019 (UTC).

  I concur with MastCell and Bishonen that you did a huge amount of great work, especially in the area of chemistry articles. You will be missed. --Leyo 23:47, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

• Hi Ed. I am still puzzled by all this and don't know what to think. Drmies (talk) 16:52, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
• Yah thanks for the work fighting spam over the years. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 00:01, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
• Also thanks for all the chemical gnome work with images, disambiguation, set pages and redirects. I will add HAPPY CHRISTMAS! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:29, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
• And thanks from me as well for all your chemistry work here and on commons. DMacks (talk) 03:22, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
• Somewhat belated but thanks from me as well. I only just stumbled onto the fact that you've been blocked - I don't as yet understand the reasons. Whatever it was, much of what you did here was good and that input will be missed. --Project Osprey (talk) 13:13, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
• I also am not in the admin loop. You were very helpful to me and to the chemistry community. And it looks like you did all kinds of good outside of the Chemistry work. --Smokefoot (talk) 23:24, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Reinstate?

Ed, you might request to be reinstated as a regular user. Your case probably would attract significant support. Your "indictment" also mentioned eventual return to Wikidom. --Smokefoot (talk) 13:21, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of C10H19NO

A tag has been placed on C10H19NO, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is a disambiguation page which either: disambiguate only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)"; or disambiguate zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title. (See section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Proposed deletion of Subcutaneous

The article Subcutaneous has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Neither entry is known solely as "Subcutaneous", and this invalid disambiguation page obscures Search

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
