Request reason:

Wow! This is so hard to figure out. I'm not sure if this is even the right place to request an unblock. In any event, an editor blocked me for apparently being a sockpuppet, which I understand is a second name for the same user. To be clear: Blinman is the name I am using for Wikipedia edits. Because I forgot the original login a few years ago -- I cannot even remember when I first joined -- I have used Arkaroola, which has some meaning to me along with Blinman. So Blinman and Arkaroola are the same person: Me. I understand that you think that the other two names -- Noodlebike, an IP address -- are also me. No. I have NO idea who those are. In fact, when I tried to put content related to chronic pelvic pain syndrome, somebody very aggressively deleted what I was putting. Now, based on what you are writing, I have a good feeling it was those two people. We can only speculate on why they are deleting the content, which relates directly to the page content. I'm trying to be a good citizen. If I've made an error then please guide me. In this case, it really looks like you banned the wrong person. And again: Noodlebike and the IP address guy are NOT me. Finally, if you can write to me at my email that would be much easier because I really do have a very hard time navigating Wikipedia: ak at laprp dot com Thank you.

Decline reason:

While I appreciate your honesty and open-ness about your previous account, the primary reason you are blocked is for the continual addition and re-addition of WP:SPAM links to articles, contrary to WP:EL. You have been guided again and again to refrain, and why to refrain. The issue surrounding your WP:SOCK account is problematic: you should not edit the same article using 2 accounts, except in rare cases. Please read WP:SOCK and you will understand - stick to one account. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:13, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

No problem. I'll be happy to stick to Blinman as the account and drop Arkaroola. But as for the Noodlebike and other one, the IP address, those are not mine and I have no control over them. Question: You say I was "guided again and again." What does that refer to? I don't get notices, unless they went to Noodlebike and the IP address if someone thought they were me. Seriously, I have not gotten any administrator messages. Where do those get posted? Also, content was repeatedly deleted that was serious, substantive, and well-meaning. As if somebody (?Noodlebike) was fighting with me. So I just feel like I'm trying to be constructive and either misunderstanding and/or ill will (?Noodlebike) has me in some kind of unreal situation. Please unblock. And tell me where to find these guidances that you're referring to. I'll pay attention to them. Thank you.

Decline reason:

For the present. You used the Blinman account first on 23rd December 2007, and the Arkaroola one on 27th December 2007; four days apart. This does not wholly fit with your earlier comment, and i would appreciate an explanation of this apparent discrepancy before considering unblock.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 18:01, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Anthony, it looks like there are two things going on here that are really separate but are getting blended: 1) Blinman and Arkaroola are me; and 2) Noodlebike and some other name that's an IP address are not me. I'll see if I can figure out some of this. First of all, the two names -- Blinman, Arkaroola -- are towns in southern Australia, where I had visited before first joining Wikipedia. I liked them and selected them as username. As far as I can remember, and it's been a while, I think I got confused about which was user and password (actually, a couple of times I have tried unsuccessfully to log on, before remembering that the password was yet another geographical location; that's not relevant today because I remember my password now). I have no problem sticking to one name and am happy with Blinman. Secondly, the thing that bothers me most is what happened a few weeks ago, when somebody unidentified repeatedly and almost instantly deleted my contributions. At first I suspected it may have been "Noodlebike," but I no longer believe that. It turns out that "Noodlebike" is an identity of somebody who hangs out on a prostatitis forum elsewhere that I do not belong to: http://prostate-forum.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=124 (I cannot imagine that cyberspace has two "Noodlebikes" with like interests, although I suppose anything's possible). It makes no sense to me that Noodlebike would be the person who so aggressively deleted my contributions, in light of what I see his open and critical -- but not censorial -- style on the other forum (that other forum has been described to me as run by someone who prefers censorship to discussion, which raises a hint as to who may have deleted my posts here; that's perhaps a distraction for the moment). As a matter of pure speculation, what is possible is that somebody else has been deleting Noodlebike's content, including on Wikipedia, and that I am caught up in whatever is going on with them. I say this based upon loose inference from the obvious vitriole of the exchanges that Noodlebike is involved in on the other site (Noodlebike seems like the sane one, in my honest opinion.). As of this moment, all I can suggest is that the instant deletions were made by the IP address guy or yet another party. My general sense is that we are dealing with at least 3 people whose identity has been conflated into mine: 1) Blinman/Arkaroola, which is me; 2) Noodlebike, 3) the IP address person, which for all I know is Noodlebike or yet a third person. Thus, the block is affecting Noodlebike, who seems totally legitimate, who, while perhaps akward in his mechanical use of Wikipedia, continues to want to be a good citizen. As for the IP address person: I have no idea who or what that is (The WHOIS, if I understand it right, shows a source in the UK; I am in the US). Finally, where are these guides that apparently sent to me but that I didn't/don't see? Thank you. Blinman.

Decline reason:

You have put significant effort into commenting on the sockpuppet issue. However, while the log entry for your unblock does mention "possibly use of meat/sock puppets", the principal reason for the block is the fact that almost all of your editing has been promotional. You have repeatedly placed into articles links which have every appearance of being there because you wish to publicise the web sites they link to. The one article you have created was also promotional. Unless and until you indicate that you will not continue to edit in this way unblocking you will not be appropriate.

Request reason:

Sorry. I thought I made that pretty clear. I guess not. My intention is to be a good citizen, by which I mean my intention is to add material that I think is iseful and substantive to readers. Some of this problem really does seem to arise directly from the work of Noodlebike, who apparently was mistaken as one of my identities and who I sure hope I've made clear is not. I cannot segregate the two issues in that some of the criticism leveled at me is directly related to Noodlebike and his promotional posts. I would agree, incidentally, with one of your other editors, that some of his posts, while perhaps well meaning, were speculative and premature. Anyway, thanks for your patience. I'd like to get untangled from Noodlebike, not be confused for him, sock puppet or otherwise, and move on as a thoughtful contributor. Thanks.

Decline reason:

You are not being confused with anyone: look here at your contributions. Nothing but links that violate the external links policy / WP:LINKFARM in almost all the cases. That is what drew administrator attention, and that is why you're blocked. When the sole purpose of an account is to continually add links, that's a promotion WP:SPA.
