February 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm I am One of Many. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Rocket Records because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Rocket Records, you may be blocked from editing. I am One of Many (talk) 09:48, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a legitimate new company called Rocket Records, then make a new article for it and add a date or something that distinguishes it. You will have to have reliable secondary sources. You cannot simply redo an already verified article to make it into something you want to promote. That is vandalism.--I am One of Many (talk) 09:51, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Also, it is fairly obvious that User:Warren Lasky is also you. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:43, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

The article that I had edited in no way was a form of advertising, spam, or promotion. Warren Lasky is one of my writers, as is Todd Gregson and Angela Bilson. I am a professional music blogger, and we were contributing FACTUAL information about the current Rocket Records. I do GREATLY apologize that you took our contribution as advertising or vandalism in any way shape or form, but I can assure you as a respected writer and blogger that was not the case. We had recently done a piece about the Backstreet Boys and Pop music in Orlando, and it came to our attention that the story of the current and real "Rocket Records" was improperly documented. We were making accurate and good faith edits to the article, which took us time as we linked internally to many links to even help document the article better. We would like to see our hard and honest work published without punishment, and we are even willing to move the old Rocket Records article under the proper heading of "Rocket Record Company". Rocket Records is an established label with accomplished music executives, celebrity clients, and important people that have been documented in the national media. I will personally add more sources if you would like, but please unblock us and do not punish myself or my writers for making honest, factual, and up-to-date edits. We support the Wikipedia community, and in no way are we trying to promote, advertise, spam, vandalize, or do anything not within the proper editing guidelines. Please unblock us, as we want our hard work and honest contributions to be a part of the Wikipedia community. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Whether you are one user with multiple accounts or one of several users acting in concert, the end result is the same. A long-standing ArbCom decision dictates that "when there is uncertainty whether a party is one user with sockpuppets or several users with similar editing habits they may be treated as one user with sockpuppets." As such, it makes no difference whether you, Warren Lasky et al are different individuals or not; you are still subject to sanctions for sockpuppetry. Yunshui 雲‍水 08:39, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

To the reviewing admin: please note contributions compared to those of User:Warren Lasky, User:Eric Gregson, and User:50.140.192.55. Note that even if this is not sockpuppetry, this is clearly coordinated editing by a group of editors with a single purpose. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:56, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As a follow up to the above, per the SPI, this is a checkuser-confirmed sockpuppeteer. I cannot decline this unblock (I am the blocking administrator) so I will leave it to someone else. --Kinu ^t/_c 00:58, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
