MarioWiki:Appeals
This page is an appeal system for Reminders and Warnings. If you feel you have wrongly received a reminder or a warning, follow the instructions below to appeal the reminder/warning to the administrators. Please keep discussions civil.
This page observes the No-Signature Policy.
Notes
If you feel that you have been wrongfully given a reminder and/or warning, you can have your case heard here. Please read through the "How To" and the "Rules" carefully. Please note that both the users appealing the reminder/warning and the users who issued the reminder/warning are given a chance to present the administrators with reasons to rule in their favor. However, said comments can only be edited once; this will not expand into lengthy, back-and-forth arguments such as the ones found in proposal comments and talk page discussions.
Rules
- Reminders and/or Warnings given by an administrator cannot be appealed.
- No case can be heard more than once. Once a decision is made, that decision is final.
- If the reminder or warning you issued is overturned, do not re-add it, or it will be removed immediately, and you may be reprimanded yourself if the administrators feel it is necessary.
How To
This is an example of what your appeal should look like; improperly formatted appeals will be deleted. If you are inexperienced or unsure how to set up this format, simply copy the following template and paste it into the fitting section. Then replace the "[subject]" variables (including the squared brackets) with information to customize your proposal.
===[Your username here]=== *[Insert link to reminder/warning from your talk page] ====[Your username here]==== *[Insert your comments on why the reminder/warning was unnecessary] ====[The issuer of the warning's Username here]==== *[Insert your comments on why reminder/warning was necessary (this section is for the issuer only)]
Important: After posting your appeal, make sure that you use {{AppealNotice}} to inform the issuer that his or her warning/reminder is under dispute.
Cases
Plumber
WARNING OVERTURNED
Plumber
- Because I'm not Beanbean. I did accidentally vandalize things when I first joined because I didn't know the difference between save and preview, but I didn't deserve that last one.
- However, I would not like it removed from my archives, I just want to record to stand that Paper Jorge was in fact in the wrong when he said that Beanbean was my sockpuppet. This will probably be ignored since Paper Jorge was a Sysop (Administrator was not a widely used term around then) at the time, but he isn't anymore.

- This should get removed because it is invalid and it's a usersapce warning which means they are invalid. Please remove it.

- Similar to Plumber's ordeal, I'm trying to overturn a warning given by a former sysyop, Tucayo. Anyways, Tucayo added the "U R Mr Gay" thing to Super Mario Galaxy, and I reverted it, calling the entire thing stupid. I believed (and still do) that this was just an unfortunate mistake on Nintendo's part. Tucayo, thinking that calling an edit stupid equals calling the person that made the edit stupid, gave me a warning. While I was told that the sysops discussed it on a private chat room or something similar, I am appealing this because Tucayo's reasoning is, well, not that good, at least in my opinion. I never meant to insult him, I just meant that the urmrgay thing was stupid. If I had meant to insult him (which would be stupid), I'd keep my warning. But I just meant to call out the ridiculousness of this, so I think that my warning wasn't fair.
