User talk:Please tell me where you've hidden my poop

Unblock me
I have done nothing wrong. My account was hijacked by my coworker when I got up to get some food. I did not make the edits you see on this account.

Unrequested advice
I am not familiar with how the block/unblock process works here at Wikinews. I also have had no previous interaction with the editor. This is unrequested advice that you are free to do with as you will.

@Heavy Water mentioned a poll in one of the edit summaries. Is that something only for admins/reviewers and where is it located?

Assuming good faith...your username does not help the perception that this is not a serious account intent on writing serious content. It may also violate the username policy if it is deemed offensive. I assume your username alone is why @Wutsje reported the account. It may help your unblock request if you offer to change the username to something more appropriate.

As per policy, you should also explain how you intend to prevent future hijackings of your account.

This project needs all the editors it can get, which is the reason I'm giving this advice.

 * Oh, votings? That's actually the template near the top of Recent changes, where you see "Articles needing review", "Developing articles", and so on. Adding the unblock template adds the category for unblock requests, and by extension and more importantly, causes this to be included in the count next to "Unblock requests" in votings.

 * Just as a sidenote, WP:AGF doesn't apply here. We follow WN:Never assume, judging things based on the evidence we have seen. A.S. Thawley (talk) (calendar) 06:42, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
