Hello & welcome!

Whirl editing...

Whirl editing is an experienced and trusted user who has been editing since July 13th 2007; however up until January 24th 2009, editing was done under his other user name: Edito*Magica. Edito*Magica was wrongly blocked from wikipedia after being accused of vandalism, and so Whirl editing is continuing where he left off, taking articles to new, dizzy heights of quality; appologies for the awful play on words!

Topic: One Foot in the Grave article

Hi,

What do think about moving the character descriptions to a new page?...there is already character description in the plot section, and i think the character section does make the page a little too long? Tell me what you think. Thanks.Whirl*editing (talk) 14:01, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think we discussed this before when you were Edito*Magica, but I still think it's a bad idea - the page needs character descriptions to make it comprehensive for readers. By comparison to some articles, the page isn't very long at all, and it's not justified to have a separate page for what are essentially six major characters. There aren't that many minor recurring characters, either, so it wouldn't even be justified as an extended page. In my experience, individual character pages tend to be rather poor quality, and if you look at Wikipedia article traffic statistics, spin-off pages are rarely viewed.

Additionally, articles about fiction should be discussed in a real-world context. The lists you have been creating do not conform to that guideline and are at risk of being deleted. The JPS^{talk to me} 16:14, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok fair enough. People not visiting spin-off pages has always been a concern of mine, and i will begin tidying the character descriptions up soon. Thanks.Whirl*editing (talk) 15:14, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of Edito*Magica (talk · contribs · global contribs · page moves · user creation · block log). Blocked or banned users are not allowed to edit Wikipedia; if you are banned, all edits under this account may be reverted.

Template:Do not delete Admitted on his user talk here. EdJohnston (talk) 18:05, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

Request reason:

Hello.

I understand that I was blocked for opening this new account (‘Whirl Editing’), after already having an account called ‘Edito*Magica’. However, the latter is no longer used and I had to create a new account after ‘Edito*Magica’ was blocked after being accused of vandalism; I share an I.P address with hundreds of others at university you see.

I can not see how this block is necessary. If you look at my contributions of this account and my old ‘Edito*Magica’ account, they are all constructive contributions. Edit warring that has occurred after getting into disagreements about articles in the past, have been resolved a long time ago. If opening more than one account violates Wikipedia policy, then I apologise. But I haven't created another account to vandalise, but so that i can continue making contributions to Wikipedia. My other account has been wrongly blocked, so i had to create another account. I've been editing since 2007, and have never vandalised Wikipedia. I hope you consider lifting the ban you have placed on me. Thanks for your time. Whirl editing 19:06, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
