Blocked as a sock puppet[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet. (blocked by MuZemike 19:41, 14 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]
You may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but please read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

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

Request reason:

Let me apologize to everyone here who's time has been wasted by my earlier irresponsible posts to the Capitalism talk page and my own home page, I now understand this is not the point of wikipedia. I would also like to apologize for not controling my outrage at the block and working immediately to understand what was going on. For this I have no excuse. If given the chance, I promise to do my best to avoid posting non-encylcopedia materialin the future, no matter what another editor has said or done. And if given the chance, I would like to offer my time to any editor or administrator who's time I have wasted, or whose sensibilities I have offended to make things right between us. Lastly, I would humbly ask for forgiveness. I understand I may not deserve a second chance, or I may have to wait a long time to have my prevliges restored, but should you see your way clear to it, I would very much appreciate it.

Decline reason:

Absolutely not. You're a tendentious SPA and sock. Hiberniantears (talk) 02:13, 20 October 2009 (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.

Truth rarely drips with mendacity

ANI[edit]

Hello, Dupledreux. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Wikipedia:ANI#User:Dupledreux_unblock_request. Thank you.Equazcion (talk) 21:35, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your case is awaiting a checkuser investigation. Your unblock request will be answered once that's completed. Equazcion (talk) 21:50, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That car metaphor is something I'll have to remember to wedge into conversation in the future. However, posting multiple tirades while you're being investigated isn't the best way to convince people you're not up to no-good. Equazcion (talk) 00:16, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, sorry, I didn't realise that was a tirade, my social meter must be way off here. I will totally back off. Thanks Equazcion Mark Dupledreux (talk) 03:28, 18 October 2009 (UTC)Dupledreux[reply]

No, I'm not a sock or a tendi-whatever SPA. I'm a Newbie who didn't even know enough to indent his posts. Goodbye all. Dupledreux (talk) 03:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Dupledreux[reply]

Response to email[edit]

I wanted my responses to be public, so I'm posting them here.

First of all, the domain of your email address or website most likely don't matter. Your address with your internet service provider is what's checked. Secondly, checkuser was never actually done. The case was closed because everyone thinks you're a sock based on your talk page behavior. I don't have the experience dealing with RJII as some other people here do, so I can't say whether they're being unreasonable.

That said, the admin who originally blocked you had actually recommended checkuser, before the case was closed. It's possible you could still have a shot at getting checkuser run. However, I didn't find your long posts about your political leanings and article suggestions all that comforting. Your account was undergoing an investigation and you didn't seem to be taking it very seriously. If your posts here are examples of what you'll be posting to talk pages and how you'll be handling difficult situations in the future, you might want to just invest your effort elsewhere.

G'luck - Equazcion (talk) 04:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Equazcion, you have been helpful, open, direct and honest.

On the contrary, I took it all too seriously and overreacted. Its all been pretty traumatic.

I thought the History of construction article would be a safe, productive place for me to work up a section. All the comments above were my own self-imposed conservative boundaries, limits of skill and self-criticism. (you don't need to answer, I've wasted enough of everyone's time already.)

I wish you and everyone well. Dupledreux (talk) 14:27, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Dupledreux[reply]
