Report UtherSRG
editHello, My username is Iacowriter, and I would like to formally raise a concern about the conduct of user UtherSRG.
I was blocked from editing Wikipedia due to issues related to rounding numbers in article summaries. While I acknowledge that my edits may have needed improvement, I made them in good faith and expressed a genuine willingness to learn and improve. I even stated in my Unblock Ticket Request that I did not fully understand how to round numbers correctly and was actively trying to learn. I also disclosed that I am autistic, which affects how I perceive and process certain information.
Rather than receiving guidance or patience, I was told that I had been “wasting time for two years” and that I “should have been fully blocked long ago.” Additionally, I was warned that my access to the UTRS (Unblock Ticket Request System) would be revoked if I continued appealing — even though I was making sincere efforts to understand and improve.
Moreover, when I tried seeking assistance or empathy through other Wikimedia projects (not to evade the block, but because I couldn’t reply on Wikipedia itself), UtherSRG accused me of “cross-wiki harassment.” I am now blocked from UTRS until August 2025 and feel I have no fair or humane recourse to address the situation.
I am not the only person to raise concerns. At least two other users have expressed that they felt UtherSRG was dismissive and unfair in labeling good-faith contributions as “disruptive.”
I respectfully ask that someone speak with UtherSRG about how he interacts with contributors who are sincerely trying to help. I understand that rules must be enforced, but I also believe that patience, respect, and understanding should be part of that process — especially when users disclose disabilities and ask for help.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am more than willing to engage constructively, learn from mistakes, and follow appropriate procedures. I only ask for fairness and empathy in return. Iacowriter (talk) 21:56, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, please take a look at the scope of the Ombuds Commission: "investigates complaints about infringements of the Privacy Policy, the Access to nonpublic personal data policy, the CheckUser policy and the Oversight policy, on any Wikimedia project". Local blocks are not within our scope. --Ameisenigel (talk) 03:41, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
