Undeleting drafts


Hey Kirby, can you please add an email address to your account here? If you do that, I can copy and paste all your drafts over for you in an email. That way you'll have local copies and you can upload them to Mirahaze in your own time without worrying that someone here is rushing to delete the drafts again. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) ↗ 23:44, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

:hi sorry for the late reply. I'll add one now and then I'll upload my old drafts. thank you for treating me like a real human being CKirby09 (talk) 16:53, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
::ive just added my account. if you have time would you mind sending them over as it would make my day so i can continue editing on miraheze. i thank you so much. CKirby09 (talk) 16:58, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
:::sorry i meant ill upload to miraheze and ive added an email. sorry for typo just stressed about the situation CKirby09 (talk) 17:00, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
::::@CKirby09 Per my note and other comments at the ANI discussion, if you have an interest in contributing to the project, i.e. editing actual articles, I believe an unblock request would likely be accepted. You obviously have some skills with tables and charts and there are plenty of articles that you could help to improve. Best regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:09, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
:::::Thank you very much I'd love to contribute to the real world sports as i have a love for charts and tables. i can't respond on the discusion but i would like to thank those that have stuck up for me. ive been unbelievable sad this past day and have tried to stay of wikipedia and i was shocked that people were supporting me. If i was unblocked i would only ever edit responsibly and would never break rules again. (I would also appreciate if the code to my deleted drafts were emailed to me so i can carry on practising my edits on Miraheze, i would never start them on wikipedia again) CKirby09 (talk) 17:13, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
::::::It would mean everything if i was to have local copies so i havent lost nearly two years of my practising and work . CKirby09 (talk) 17:14, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
:::::::As well I'd like to thank User:Cullen328 for doing a great job for wikipedia. I read his offer to email me the wikicode to all my projects. if this is done it would mean the world to me and i would never ever edit innapropriatly again. i also would love to be unblocked so i can contribute to real sports editing CKirby09 (talk) 17:27, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
::::::::'''Support Unblock''' per above. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::I am currently recieving emails of my wikicode. Thank you for your support. You have no idea how much this means to me. I'm crying. Thank you so much. CKirby09 (talk) 17:57, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::Sorry about my delay in responding! I got a bit stuck on things at the office today and couldn't get back to Wikipedia till now. Glad to see someone got to it for you. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) ↗ 22:00, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::Hi CKirby09, this is NotAracham from the Miraheze Steward team, we were alerted that you might have a new wiki request coming through and I thought I'd reach out to offer assistance in case you encounter any problems with the process.
:::::::::: While our queue can get a little backed up, please feel free to reach out via my talk page on Miraheze (https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User_talk:NotAracham) if anything should come up. --NotAracham (talk) 00:45, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
If there are others that I have missed. please let me know. Cullen328 (talk) 18:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks so much that is absolutely perfect you've made my life. thanks ever so much and sorry for all of the problems ive caused CKirby09 (talk) 18:13, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
