To be unblocked you need to demonstrate that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:
- Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
- Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
- Click edit this page on that article and scroll down past the message informing you of your block.
- Copy the source of that article and paste it to the bottom of your talk page under a new top-level heading (like this:
= Article title =
)
- Propose some significant and well researched improvements to your article by editing your personal copy of the article.
- When are you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
- If we are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.
If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "
{{helpme|your question here}}" to your talk page. Thank you. --

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.
By my count it was less than one year ago. How are we to know that you would contribute to Wikipedia constructively? (By the way, did you inform the potential adopters that you are indefinitely blocked? If not, it seems to me that your adoption is moot.)
But okay, here's an offer. Choose any article on Wikipedia, and suggest constructive changes that could be made there. Then describe them on your talk page (or e-mail them to me). (Before starting, have a look at the policy of verifiability and the notability guidelines. The summary of basic policies of Wikipedia will be useful as well.) If you can persuade me and/or the rest of administrators that you would help Wikipedia instead of compromising it, you have a chance to be unblocked. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 13:38, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
