Request reason:

I am blocked for no good reason. Please unblock me

Decline reason:

You are blocked because it is believed this account belongs to someone who is currently blocked from editing. -- Yamla 18:44, 15 February 2007 (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.

Dear Administrator,

My my user name is Batabat. I live and work in Budapest, Hungary. Last month I was blocked by Yamla on a baseless ground that I am someone's sockpuppet. It took me a while to find out what this term in the language of the administrators meant. When I found this out, I wrote to Yamla to ask him/her to unblock me, because the suspicion was absolutely groundless. I even suggested him/her to call me or talk on a webcam to be assured that I am who I am. Unfortunately, Yamla never responded to my appeals.

I find this frustrating and, forgive my straightforward judgment, very unprofessional on the part of the administrator. Blocking a user on a mere "belief" that he/she might be a sockpuppet severely undermines the reputation of Wiki and its administrators. I appeal to other administrators to intervene into the matter and unblock me. I am not a sockpuppet!

Batabat

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

While I will agree that Yamla did not assume good faith and did not give you any background information concerning your situation, I would like to point out that some of your edits back in February (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Batabat) appear to have been in the defense of a blocked user. Sometimes blocked users are so frustrated that they create new user accounts to continue getting mad at people. This causes more of a disruption. It appears Yamla thought you were one of these new user accounts to continue spreading the disruption of that user.

Assuming good faith, I will unblock you. However, treat this as a warning that Wikipedia is not the place to spread your own opinion about topics. It is a place to collect cited, notable information for the world. A few key policies outline this:

Notability guideline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NOTE
Citing sources guideline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CITE
Civility policy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CIVIL

I hope you will be a helpful contributor to our project and I welcome you back. Be careful not to cause the same disruption as you did last time, because no administrator will be able to unblock you next time.
