No Explaination yet BLOCKED?! Please Advise me!

Request to be unblocked:

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Roz Lipschitz (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I AM NOT working with SOCKPUPPETS THOUGH MY IP ADDRESS HAS MULTIPLE USERS + I realize there was a question about this in the past (over 1 year ago!); I AM WILLING TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO FOLLOW Wikipedia GUIDLINES & be productive also see supporting reasons/intentions below

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I AM NOT working with SOCKPUPPETS THOUGH MY IP ADDRESS HAS MULTIPLE USERS + I realize there was a question about this in the past (over 1 year ago!); I AM WILLING TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO FOLLOW Wikipedia GUIDLINES & be productive also see supporting reasons/intentions below |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I AM NOT working with SOCKPUPPETS THOUGH MY IP ADDRESS HAS MULTIPLE USERS + I realize there was a question about this in the past (over 1 year ago!); I AM WILLING TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO FOLLOW Wikipedia GUIDLINES & be productive also see supporting reasons/intentions below |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

For whatever reason, I am currently blocked! The message I am receiving is that my IP Address has been abled by Sam Korn. Then, there is a message stating, "resuming previous sockpuppetry & disruption"

I do not get this. If am using a wireless IP that many different users are on. It is possible that some one else from this IP is disrupting. It is really hard for me to tell but I am certainly happy to try and find out.

I also do not feel that I have been disruptive. Everything I have edited I have put an explaination as to why I made an edit and I have put explainations with links to probably sources on the Talk Pages.

Jokestress, even just gave me a suggestion that I create a new article and move MOST of my discussion over to that new article's discussion page. HOWEVER, when I attempted to do this I found that I was blocked.

When I searched for reasons that I am blocked (and I feel I deserve a specific reason + to have had a warning beforehand) I cannot find anything. I WISH FOR THIS BLOCK TO BE APPEALED so I can follow Jokestress' advice and move my discussion to the appropriate page! I AM TRYING TO WORK WITH WIKIPEDIA ADMINISTRATORS and be a productive editor. I am trying to get the right information onto the right pages and to get the right updates or at least probable sources for them known by putting an idea or suggestion on Talk Pages. I believe Jokestress is an admintator.

Can this block please be lifted and any important instructions / guidlines be given to me. It is not my intention to use sockpuppets (I was accused of that a LONG time ago, for whatever reason.) Thank you; I am willing to do whatever it takes to get this confusion and misunderstanding cleared up. Roz Lipschitz (talk) 19:26, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

The lack of notice isn't itself a problem, as - if you were a sockpuppet - the master account would be the one receiving the notice. I'll request clarification from the blocking admin. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 20:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

True I had a 6 month block by DUROVA who is no longer a Wikipedia Administrator way back in October of 2007 for sock puppets (I feel I was more of a victim in that case but was burned out and did not argue this!) Recently, that block was lifted and I have had no problems. Then I asked why the Paul Baresi article was not avail for edit.

I worked on that and feelthat Jokestress and I were cooperating in getting the citations imporved. We did not see eye to eye on one paragraph. She (Jokestress) expressed her reasons and then I reviewed them and decided to agree with her. I posted a LONG discussion for my support of Jokestress and suggested that Drama, insults and editing wars of the past SHOULD be avoided in the Barresi article and a possible new article. Jokestress suggested in the discussion that I start the article and move most of my LONG DISCUSSION over to that page. I attempted to do so and realized I am blocked! If I am being accused of sock puppetry then I must state that probably someone is ahold of my password and signing in as me and using the puppets. I ad mit because my IP which is also blocked has many users that someone MAY have gotten my password off a browse. But, I have gone over my editing history and feel I have been productive for several months and if Sock Puppetry has been going on for these months then it would have been only fair to warn me. I see nothing that suggests sock puppets but I am definitly curious to know sho I can fix the problem! PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I am not editiing under any other accounts at all! I have not for a VERY LONG TIME!!! I do feel I deserve to be informed as to exactly where and when the alleged sock puppetry has occurred! This is only fair because if sock puppets are active I am UNAWARE of it but willing to work with Wikipedia admin to find out if it is indeed coming from someone I know (which is likely based on the history)!

If someone used your password, then disruptive edits would show up as coming from your account. You'd have to look at your edits to judge if there are any edits listed that you didn't do. If you had sockpuppet accounts at one time, and those were compromised, then that could be stickier - a list of those accounts might help track down the compromised username, and also to show that they were not being used for editing in contravention of policy. If someone who shares your IP is editing in a way that matches your own (Same articles, same tone, same subjects, etc), and if the times match your editing patterns, then it may be viewed as Meatpuppetry, which is treated as if all of the accounts were used by one editor. Until we have clarification from the blocking admin, though, I decline to speculate. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 21:36, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

I have looked at everyone of my edits of the past 6 months and found nothing disruptive and only two very short things which have been changed... I tried looking at other edits on the pages I worked on to see if someone was trying to mimic me. Honestly, I have no idea. I did not previously know what Meat Puppet meant so thanks for explaining. I honestly do know if I am part of a meat puppet. Though I now believe that the last time I was accused of being a part of a sock puppet, I was indeed a victim of Meat Puppetry. If Meat Puppetry is going on, then it is without my knowledge. AGAIN, I am more than happy to help Wikipedia by doing my share in finding out who is doing this. The problem is that I have no example of what types which edits are in question... Please give me at least 3 examples because based on that I might be able to find the person based on tones, styles etc of people I know. Thank! Roz Lipschitz (talk) 23:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
