Good evening (at least it's evening here).

Going off the information given, I was banned from the Undertale Wiki yesterday (Nov. 2nd, 2015) for adding false information to page for the character Papyrus, where I added to the Trivia section that he was based off the YouTube Octopimp. Alongside the claim, I provided a link to a now-defunct live stream for the YouTube channel Game Grumps. However, yesterday, the creator of Undertale, Toby Fox, said on Twitter that this wasn't true, with Octopimp later following suit and also saying it was false. I was later banned from Undertale Wiki for adding said false information, with the accusation from replies to Toby's tweet that I was a troll.

I'm talking to you now because I wish to appeal my ban. I know this sounds crazy at first glance, but I wish for you to hear my case.

I'll start with the fact that I didn't make this information up myself. I received my information from the Game Grumps live stream that I linked to in the information I added. Someone from the stream (Ross O'Donnovan) mentioned that he heard that Papyrus had his personality slightly based off of Octopimp, which he claimed he heard from Octopimp. He also claimed that Octopimp was told this by Toby (so essentially Toby told Octopimp, who told Ross, who said it on the live stream). Hearing this on the live stream, I later added this to the Wiki with the link of the stream as a source to prove my information.

I assumed that the link to the live stream was an archive of the live stream, as the stream was already over by the time I posted the link, and YouTube archives its livestreams. However, for some reason I don't know, YouTube didn't archive the stream, and just said that the stream was offline without providing any footage of the stream beforehand. Also, unfortunately for my case, I cannot find any reuploads or archives of the live stream from anybody else on YouTube, so that statement is now essentially gone from the Internet.

I didn't add this information to the Wiki with the intention of vandalizing or including false info. This was something stated on a live stream from a channel with almost 3 million subscribers and a guy who had previously briefly spoken to Toby Fox once before.

Soon after I added this information, however, Toby Fox saw the info on the Papyrus page, and deconfirmed this info on Twitter. Octopimp also did. Again, this resulted in me being banned indefinitely on Undertale Wiki, and has left me just as confused (and embarrassed) as everyone who replied to Toby's tweet.

In short, the information from the source I provided was false, and the info I claimed was on the link was no longer there. This was somehow all a huge misunderstanding which led to my ban. The info I added to the page was something I truly thought was accurate and trustworthy to go by. I want to hear from Ross now as to why he provided this false information, since it eventually led to this small confusion within the Undertale fanbase due to my subsequent actions.

I honestly feel like I'm repeating myself at this point.

I wish to be unbanned from the Wiki due to this misunderstanding, and, if not unbanned, at least have my ban decreased from indefinite to a week-long ban at most. If my ban isn't changed, I understand, and I'll move on.

Thank you for your time.
