Response to @Moneytrees: @Pawnkingthree: @Celestina007: regarding their Concerns

I definitely forgot to mention that I did not only made several mistakes by wrongly tagging translated articles but indeed also copy-violated some articles. This is in the end actually inexcusable - the community can with good reason expect that especially experienced editors who by themselves tagged dozens of articles for copy-violating take better care of this.

You are totally right concerning my first block - at this time I was in Spain in one of the hardest covid lockdowns in the world, lost all of my income and my frustration about my life did leave by far too many footprints in my editorial behaviour many times (not only with TonyBalloni). I seeked my meaning of life in editing - I did several thousands edits a week, was one of the most active editors for several months if I am not totally wrong and so got very easy upset. I accepted critics more than once - many, many times off-wiki from several Admins who helped me or noticed me about issues but after a time you just think "Hey, I make several hundreds edits a day and so I am sure I do know it better, I do not need to accept critics" -- which of course is totally nonsense.

Finally I do not want to see it as a block-unblock cycle - if I would see it like this I would have asked for an unblock by far earlier and honestly I was thinking for weeks before finally raising the ticket. I am not begging for forgiveness - what I said and did was definitely more than once wrong but I am also sure that I still could improve OUR project - in which I still believe! - as a simple editor (as I said, I am totally free for restrictions - no matter what they might be). Thank you for reading and considering.CommanderWaterford (talk) 21:45, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

I pressed "Related Changes" on my user page to check what's been happening, and your talk page came across my screen. As far as I concerned, we had a great cooperation, and I appreciated you as an editor and NPP checker (it was usually you or JohnB123). So for what it is worth, I think you've done great, and last year was a pleasure IMHO. And no, I don't want to know all the details, because AN/I is place which I avoid at all costs, because of the nasty atmosphere there. I would like to remind anybody watching this page, that you should not throw out the baby with water. KittenKlub (talk) 22:18, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words @KittenKlub, @Timtrent, @Elli, @Liz + @Piotrus. If you want to support you can leave a simple "Support Unblocking" at WP:AN if you wish, greatly appreciated. CommanderWaterford (talk) 22:13, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
