Request reason:

I do not understand the reason why I have been blocked. I have only made constructive edits and I dont know what 'chris funk bass' is.

Decline reason:

Per the below. Using multiple accounts to edit is not permitted. Unless you can conclusively prove you are not Chris funk rock, you will not be unblocked. — Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 01:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have created articles on topics related to the ~~John Smith Quartet~~ John Smith Quintet and adding non-notable people to lists at a time when around 3 other editor were making similar edits. The evidence points towrds you being a sockpuppet of User:Chris funk bass who has a similar history. Another admin will review this block shortly. -- Mattinbgn\^talk

Request reason:

I am not a "sockpuppet". The computer i am using is at a school which means all the computers use one IP address. All my posts have been notable and constructive. I would like an explanation as to why John Smith Quintet and members (eg Phill Rogers) are not notable according to Wikipedia. Thanks.

Decline reason:

But why would you be worried about the John Smith Quintet if you hadn't edited the article? Chris funk bass has ... hmm? In any event the fact that you admit you're on the same IP isn't a defense to a sockpuppetry charge; rather, you just spared us the trouble of going through a Checkuser request. —Daniel Case (talk) 01:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note to reviewing administrator. A previous unblock request has been declined. See talk page history and User talk:Hersfold#User:Ipodsrus. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 01:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced the old template. Ipodsrus, please do not remove these templates while you are blocked. As for your question, please see WP:MUSIC for information on what makes a band notable. Your edit history seems to imply that you are a blocked user that is circumventing his block. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 01:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|Ok. I understand your point but i am now unable to create a page on John Smith Quintet because it is only able to be done by an Administrator even though John Smith Quintet does meet some of the "notable" criteria. What should be done? also... i edited phill rogers who is a member of John Smith Quintet. So when i attempted to edit that also i discovered that it was blocked and has been previously deleted. Thats why i am contesting it. And i didnt say i was on the same IP as chris funk bass. How would i know. I only said there might be other people who have the same because i am at a school and that might be the reason for the sockpuppetry case!}}

Request reason:

is anyone there who would like to reply?

Decline reason:

Sure. You're a checkuser verified sockpuppet of a blocked editor. Though the checkuser wasn't necessary, given the evidence of your edits. Bye. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 03:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
