User talk:124.168.176.97

I have undone your edit on "List of people who have been considered avatars." The Nirmala portion is properly referenced.

Please review WP:NPA calling Simon D a "COI vandal" violates that policy. If you believe he has a COI, please take it up on the COI noticeboard.

I also see you are editing from Perth Australia. Are you Sfacets, do you know him, and/or were you asked to come here by him and edit? Hohohahaha (talk) 16:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I have reverted again. The reference used is not a reliable source, and another user agrees with me on this point. To answer your question, no - I am not this sfacts (despite claims by Simon DM.) And no, I do not even know who the person is. I had tried to create a user account, but within minutes of doing so, found myself blocked. 124.168.176.97 (talk) 21:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you are not sfacts, but are you Sfacets? --Simon D M (talk) 10:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will not dignify that with an answer. 124.168.176.97 (talk) 22:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nuff said. --Simon D M (talk) 17:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer, I trust it.

As for the blocking, I suggest you bring it up at WP:ANI

I will give the refference another look. Why do you think it is not a RS? Hohohahaha (talk) 21:34, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I would bring it up there, but at the moment I just don't have that much spare time, and less to spend arguing with those who have blocked me. I believe the link isn't a reliable source in that it is a self-published website. 124.168.176.97 (talk) 01:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is your COI with respect to the subject that almost all your edits revolve around? Are you a member of Sahaja Yoga, the new religious movement founded by Nirmala Srivastava? Have you ever edited under a username? If so, what? It's unusual for a new user to start off with edit summaries like 'revert liar'. --Simon D M (talk) 09:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is yours? Please read previous messages, and you will see that I have tried editing under a username, but was banned for no reason other than your vague suspicions. 124.168.176.97 (talk) 22:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you had read the talk pages to which your edit summaries have now begun to refer, you would know my position on the subject of Sahaja Yoga. --Simon D M (talk) 09:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism Warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to User:203.214.157.186, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. RaseaC (talk) 22:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Niaz ^{(Talk •}^Contribs) 00:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

A friendly suggestion

I would suggest that you stop trying to evade the block and face it, otherwise you won't be able to contribute to wikipedia.

I watched Sfacets go from being a well respected contributor to a nut-case over the course of a year and a half. When I first met him, he was a guy I respected and would look to for help and advice. Then he started playing outside the rules and just slowly unraveled till it seemed like her was litterally out of control.

I looked over your edit to list of avatars and thought about it and agree with you.

You seem like a reasonable person and you seem to have something to contribute, why not just at least try to appeal the block and explain you're not saffacets. Hohohahaha (talk) 00:42, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to do so, but after being blocked 24 hours (twice!) and reading discussion I realized this was pointless - the admin who is effectuating the blocks obviously has issues. 124.168.155.244 (talk) 17:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move on. --Simon D M (talk) 17:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if talking with other admins hasn't helped... I would try other approaches. If you have tried all approaches and none of them have worked, I would ask, what are you doing here?

Whether your edits are helpful or not, as a blocked user, the only action you can engage in is disruption.

Till you are back in the system, you're a vandal, and the more you continue to act this way, the more you hurt your case, and any chance of participating here. Hohohahaha (talk) 20:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, it shouldn't be up to me (in fact it isn't) to prove my innocence. Please read How to handle suspected Sockpuppets which gives clear instructions on how to treat suspected sockpuppet accounts. Blocking them outright on a whim is not one of them. There are clear protocols in place to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and yet apparently it happens all the time. If vandalism is defined as adeliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia then don't you think that completely circumventing the system to prevent an editor from editing is slightly more disruptive to Wikipedia? Simple solution: provide solid evidence that I am sfacets and I will never set foot here again.124.168.155.244 (talk) 04:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
