I don't even know how this works to be honest, but I hope someone can help me. I'm a Russian Wikinews user who was banned for "vandalism" in 17 June 2023: ru:n:Обсуждение_участника:Erokhin#Блокировка. Sysop ru:n:DonSimon write this: "Dear colleague, I have reverted these edits as the vandalizing ones. As a warning, you have been blocked for 1 week from editing the project. I cannot monitor the project every day due to real-life problems and watch your edits. In case of continuing similar edits or attempts to harm Wikinews (for example, via threats to admins) the period of blocking may be expanded (including even the possibility of global ban). I insist that you do not use the Wiki Projects to settle scores with anyone.". For example:

And DonSimon is son of Krassotkin https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q52256371 I request you to lift the blocking due to possible conflict of interests. My [1], [2], [3] I hope that this will serve to take action and that justice will be done in this case. --Erokhin (talk) 19:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
