I don't care about the recent page I will be coming back soon.

I overreacted over ONE person being unreasonable. And I'm not giving up, that person who got unjustly banned in 2012, I will bring him some justice even if I have to resort to making a YouTube video about it. His worst crime was to have a weird name but he followed all the rules. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 00:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why does wp still use ads in 2024?

Resolved

Listen in this day and age ads are absolutely necessary to keep the site around. Running a big site is extremely expensive. And I fear the site might not be around for much longer if the owners don’t implement an ad system.

In 2003 sure plenty of ad free websites work. But now in 2024 unless you’re a billionaire running a huge site without ads is close to impossible. And I am still frustrated the website tried to force it on me to give donations instead of using ads.

Even most wikis use ad system nowadays. Legit I’m concerned convince the owners to implement it before it’s too late. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 02:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The {{helpme}} template is for questions on how to use Wikipedia, not for commentary on why Wikipedia works as it does. Your suggestion is a perennial proposal that has been consistently rejected; you can read more at is entry on the list of such proposals. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 04:33, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fine ban me then if I can’t even ask for legit help without being penalized for it fuck this site. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 08:08, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

The requests for donations run by WMF on Wikipedia generate more than enough revenue to keep the servers running. WMF uses the excess for various ideas that may or may not be seen as productive.

I guess that means that Wikipedia is not really ad-free at this point. But at least the ads are tied to the service in a way that is not likely to cause revenue concerns to affect content or editorial concerns.

Using {{help}} templates to engage in conversations like this one is just one more way you seem to be out-of-step. Please spend more time on improving the project, in whatever ways you are able. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:38, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is why I am considering leaving for good and want my entire revision history gone. If I can’t even ask for legit advice without getting into trouble this site isn’t worth it. I don’t care if you ban me. I’m here to read not to edit. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 08:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Writ Keeper's reply was reasonable, letting you know that the community has talked about this before and linking you to the discussion. And they didn't mention anything about blocking you. Is it possible you are over reacting a little? –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well currently I am very mentally ill that’s the problem. 13:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC) Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 13:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: you have not indicated that to other users at the top of your talk page. Now, it seems like an excuse because you only brought it up when multiple editors gave you a reasonable response. I already gave you guidance on how to be a better contributor. If you continue your behavior, you may be blocked. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:26, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's not respond to polite honesty about their mental health with threats of blocking. I think the conversation can end here for now with no action. Let's give some space. –Novem Linguae (talk) 14:51, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have many mental issues and that's a top priority. And this level of harshness is exactly why I'm considering leaving for good. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 16:20, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blaze, honest question, do you think a removable block here would give you enough mental space? I'm going for one pretty soon (for different reasons). Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 16:29, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not just thinking about myself here I am thinking at behalf of everyone else and the companies. And if I saw an inappropriate ad I would just ignore it. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 16:40, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This idea that we are in financial trouble is incorrect. We have an excess of donations and place them in an account called the meta:Wikimedia Endowment. Also ads go against the open source movement's ethos. For these two reasons i don't think there's any plans or interest to switch from donation banners to ads. Hope this explanation makes sense. –Novem Linguae (talk) 18:51, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And I recommend you close the WP:XRV discussion. I don't want to assume anything here, but I can't help but notice you are probably not at your best right now. I'm not going to get into the why and how and such, but I will recommend that maybe you need to voluntarily take a break from editing at Wikipedia while you are feeling this stressed. Hell, I'm due for a break myself (already planned), this place can make you oversensitive and reactive, and it can lead to problems with other editors. What I don't want to see is you getting stressed, taking things out of context or out of proportion, and getting blocked. I use a quote from Douglas Adams on some forums, in part to remind me to stay focused on what is important. It is "I'd far rather be happy than right any day." Sometimes to be happy, you need to walk away for a bit, get some perspective, clear the cobwebs, and start over down the road. If editing isn't making you happy, you need to do something else for a while, for your own sake. Just my 2¢ worth. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 13:04, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it. Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 13:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Someone reverted, but I closed it without action, based on your obvious desire to withdraw. I need to nod off, it is getting late where I live. Whatever it is that makes you happy, brings you joy, that is the direction we all should go in. Take your time, think about it. The encyclopedia will still be here.
