Not a problem. The witticism about "X and 50 cents will get you a cup of coffee" has been around for ages, so it's not original to me (but since 50 cents no longer is enough for a cup of coffee, I adjusted for inflation).

Thats the page I help with, the only page, but I need help I have no idea what to do, I've won the battle and exposed the villains, but I need help to deal with them and clear the talkpage so that work can continue. There is so much work to get done, and two people have caused such incredible grief and problems I've been to some arbitrator thing and that went okish, sortof, for a while, and now this, just to get one single paragraph of the article improved has cost me so much. So much, and work hasn't even yet begun. You'll see as you look all the detail, but two things I can stand up for more than anything, I'm truthful and I can deliver on all claims and I want the work, which is just starting to go ahead as smoothly as possible. there is an FAR which I began, it's to improve the article where I couldn't do it alone, and it is perfectly legitimate and necessary. There are new sections, new material, updated facts to go in there, and the article is in a mess. The talkpage needs cleaning up, I don't know the commands for it, the bloke told me {{archive upper}} but that doesn't move things to archive, he was just , well, you'll work it out if you have time. Or please, help refer this to whoever you can to help me. I can't go through another 20 hour stretch of learning procedures. I need help I need adopting. <span style="text-shadow:#c5C3e3 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em; class=texhtml">[[User:Penyulap|<span style="color:#002100">'''Penyulap'''</span>]]</span><sub>[[User talk:Penyulap|<span style="color:07AA07">''' talk'''</span>]]</sub> 03:42, 29 June 2011 (UTC) |
Revision as of 03:42, 29 June 2011
I've been blocked from account making after I made an account.
Hi there, I've been using the IP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/89.100.20.87
However, you will note that I did make an account before you blocked said IP from making a new account. I made this account as others also use the IP and as such, I thouht it would easiest to make my own account. Secondly, I made the account so I could sign my post in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#Dispute_on_what_a_source_claims.
However, as the account creation was before you blocked me, I'm confused as to what to do. Will I still be able to use this account? If so, is it best to wait until the ban on the IP is lifted?

- My advice to you, since blocks are preventative, and besides your admitting the IP is you, I can't verify that you are the IP, I say avoid all the subject area what caused the block in the first place until it is expired, or you could get blocked for evading a block. Just stay away from the subject till the block expires and don't get in any other mess and I think you should be fine. -- DQ (t) (e) 19:34, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Understood, thank you for clearing that up. :)

I'm writing with regard to User:180north, who is a co-worker of mine and whom you blocked for allegedly using multiple accounts. However, the alleged sockpuppet investigation you conducted (found at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ProFromDover/Archive) lasted only six minutes before you blocked 180north. No checkuser was done and nobody else commented in the investigation. This does not seem like much of an investigation to me. The alleged similarity between 180north's edits and the edits by the other users who were subjects of the same sockpuppet investigation is that all of these editors were involved with editing Marshall Sylver. However, 180north disclosed in the first sentence of their very first edit to Wikipedia, "I represent Marshall Sylver." [1]
I don't find it implausible that other people could have been editing on Sylver's behalf back in 2007, in which case 180north should not be charged with and blocked for the alleged sockpuppetry which other people may have engaged in four years ago. From your comment "Quackers" in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ProFromDover/Archive, I assume you are applying the duck test, but this is far from the "obvious case" contemplated by WP:DUCK, due to the four-year gap and the difference in writing style between 180north and the other editors.
Incidentally, 180north was never warned or even questioned about the alleged sockpuppetry before you blocked them, which I believe reflects a lack of assuming good faith.
Finally, I don't understand the clause "The user did explain that the other account noted by Hersfold" in [2] -- there's at least one word missing, or one word too many, there.
I will note that I am a registered Wikipedia editor, but I am submitting these comments as an IP user to avoid having my Wikipedia identity become known at my job. --99.140.181.172 (talk) 01:54, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- When I reviewed 180north's unblock request, I conducted a checkuser scan on them, which for me is standard procedure when reviewing any unblock request related to sockpuppetry. Due to the age of ProFromDover's accounts, I was unable to verify any relation to the accused sockmaster, however I did confirm that 180north was nonetheless using multiple accounts against policy. They have since admitted to this via email, however their explanation regarding this account does not match checkuser data. 180north's original block was placed based on what I believe to be very convincing behavioral evidence, and is now being continued due to the sockpuppetry that has since been found. As you should well know, considering who you are (your name came up in the checkuser scan), warning is not a prerequisite for blocking, and third-party unblock requests are not accepted, regardless of who they come from. Depending on DeltaQuad's feelings about this, I am willing to give them the standard offer, however they must request that, not you. Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:21, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hersfold is right, I won't accept any third party unblock requests. He knows how to email me or use and unblock template on his talkpage (requesting in the unblock that I take a look). I might be willing to offer something a little different than a standard offer, but something like that would apply. I also do request that he contacts me or Hersfold directly about this case if he wishes to be unblocked. -- DQ (t) (e) 23:54, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
