Wolverine X-eye, formerly known as Wolverine XI, has been blocked indefinitely from editing wikipedia.
I'm disappointed it came to this because he put a lot of time and effort in and other editors mentioned having good experiences with him. Reading the list of inappropriate comment examples, there is a pattern of him editing in a way that is strange or inconvenient for others, getting called out (sometimes rudely), and then responding in kind. I can see why it would be confusing what tone of comments is acceptable – I think he was trying to pattern match the kinds of comments he received from others.
I think the main issue was that he never stopped to think about how his actions impacted others. His frequent tiny edits make the diff tools unusable, he made requests of editors that wasted their time. His goal seemed to be to get FA status for the pages he cared about, but that goal wasn’t for readers, it was for him. I’m sorry it turned out this way, but I appreciate the thought and care the admins put into their decision of how to handle it.
