Line 23:

Editing restrictions or sanctions are intended to prevent certain forms of conduct, and these preventative measures may last a long time. Appeals can be made for their reconsideration, but usually a track record is required, and [[recidivism]] is taken very seriously. Appeals of site bans must be made via email, while other appeals are done onwiki. The committee will sometimes seek feedback onwiki for site ban appeals.

Successful appeals demonstrate to the committee that the behavior which led to the restriction or sanction is unlikely to repeat. In the appeal, editors should demonstrate an understanding of what conduct led to the restriction or sanction and offer credible evidence about why it will not happen in the future. One way some editors do this This is by showing other productive editing on Wikipedia or a sister project.
