ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Unblock request

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Lisa.davis (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I request an unblock because (1) the relationship between my account and the wiki accounts of two other individuals (AmyNorth and Mark.Muesse) was disclosed in 2014. 1a1b (2) I have no relationship to ApostleVonColorado or any other wiki accounts except the two disclosed. I opened my Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons account in early 2012 (2a, 2b). I welcomed and encouraged Amy and Mark to edit Wikipedia in late 2013, discussing with them the wiki policies and reviewing their drafts. I was trying to help. Both stopped editing for different reasons. Editing Wikipedia as a hobby initially appealed to both Amy and Mark. The wiki disputes did not (Amy, whose user page mentions her struggles with cancer, passed away a while ago). (3) The SPI case linked in the block notice on my user page is predominantly about ApostleVonColorado and Ms Sarah Welch. The allegation that I am ApostleVonColorado or others is incorrect. I invite a checkuser. (4) The circumstantial evidence presented against me is vacuous. One must expect someone who learns a new language that he or she would read literature in that language, become interested and knowledgeable about that culture. This is natural. This is neither odd nor evidence of sockpuppetry. This is a part of the SPI case that alleges that I am ApostleVonColorado because I edited a few articles whose originals are in Sanskrit language and the Culture of India article. (5) A part of the SPI case presented alleges that I am Ms Sarah Welch. Sarah has never edited many of the articles I have (5a). The article where there is the largest overlap between her editing and my editing is the Tapas (Indian religions) article. Sarah deleted most of my contributions (5b, 5c, I do not know how to compare her last version and my last version). While the article is much expanded and an improvement over where I left it, the Tapas article shows Sarah and I have difference in our approach. (6) While Amy disclosed the relationship between her editing and my editing in 2014, and Mark told me he also did (but I am as yet unable to find the link), I admit I made a mistake. I should have also disclosed the link between the two accounts and my own on my user page. I understand my error and I will be more careful and prompt in future in disclosing any accounts where I review the contribution drafts offline. Peace, Lisa.davis (talk) 22:18, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
