{{Unblock reviewed|1=My contributions were reverted and deleted and I was given an indefinite block for "block evasion." The blocker didn't say who they thought I was or anything at all, for that matter. I edited for a while as an unregistered before finally registering, but I was never blocked for anything (though that admittedly might be difficult for me to prove if need be, since I've edited from different locations and computers, so there are different IP addresses that others have also had.)|accept=Unblocked per below.

:I didn't have any specific account in mind, but I figured that anyone who created an account to mess with categories in a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jean_Lee_(murderer)&diff=prev&oldid=849281768 highly tangential manner] is clearly up to no good. [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mario_Amaya&diff=824034909&oldid=747733995 This edit] bby you as an IP is even worse; by that logic anybody who identifies as having a gender (or the vast majority of people) who have ever had noteworthy violence perpetrated on them should be in a category about violence against [men/women] by continent. Nope, you're not welcome here. I don't believe you when you say that this wasn't your first account, and nothing you can say could make me change my mind.

::I added what I thought were related pages to violence against men and women categories and categories like racially-motivated violence and others. If edits I made (and I edit other things besides just stuff like that) were controversial or broke rules or something... something could have just been said to me and things could have been hashed out. There were Australia-related pages (only one of them added by me) in the violence against men category, so I thought I'd make an Oceania category to go with the other continent categories there. I was never that interested in making an account, but it turns out only registereds can create categories, so I eventually did get around to making an account and then the category after I found enough of what I thought were pages that fit in it. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by Groigi (talk • contribs ↗) 23:37, 10 July 2018 (UTC)</small>

:::Maybe I was a bit too harsh about the first account thing. I'll tell you what ... I'll unblock you if you promise to not deal with categories, because your idea of what's "related" to a category is remarkably eccentric. It'd be much better if you used edit summaries ↗ to explain your edits. Also, "trying to make serious edits to Wikipedia as an IP editor is like blindly blundering through the countryside on the first day of hunting season dressed like a moose ↗" (see rule #12), and the same is doubly true of newly active accounts making weird edits. '''Graham'''<span style="color: green;">87</span> 02:40, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

::::That sounds perfectly reasonable. I'll cool it with the category additions and stuff like that, and in hindsight I do see why I probably should have offered rationales for potentially questionable changes I've made. There never seemed to be any kind of kerfuffle over any of them up until now, so it just... didn't seem a very pertinent thing to do, I guess. And I really probably should have started a discussion somewhere first about that category I made and the viability of it and what should be included in it, instead of just jumping the gun and going at it alone in a way that admittedly kind of can be construed as suspicious or off; a new account making a category like that out of the blue and rapidly filling it with what looked like random pages. I really did try to only include pages about incidents which seemed to have some kind of gender factor--sex crimes and homophobic attacks, and serial cases (like The Family Murders ↗) where the victims were all male--and not just any in which the victims happened to be a boy or a man.

:::::I've unblocked you per the above. Happy editing! '''Graham'''<span style="color: green;">87</span> 15:17, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

January 2026

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Before adding a category to an article, as you did to :Starship Troopers (film) ↗, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines ↗. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable ↗ content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.  DonIago (talk) 17:32, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

:I take your points, but just because there's a lot of "splatter" in the film doesn't make it necessarily a splatter film ↗ any more than having lots of comedy in a film means it's considered a comedy film. Also, as per the notice I left you, there's nothing in the article that explicitly describes the film as a "splatter film". You're welcome to discuss this at the article's Talk page, but please do not simply reinsert your edit as per WP:BRD ↗. DonIago (talk) 14:14, 30 January 2026 (UTC)
