[edit]Don't touch the Criss Angel board -Ocd20 (Talk) 06:05, 2 May 2007
- The possible reason your "red link removals" from Criss Angel were reverted was that there largely didn't seem a point. As I learned recently, the red link policy says "Red links should not be created for topics that will never have articles, such as a celebrity's romantic interest or every chapter in a book." which doesn't include most of the links you unlinked (the majority of which were linked in from other entries - click on the red link and click "what links here". That is a sure sign that the red links are there because the entry should be made).
- I hope that helps explains OCD20's edits. Most of the redlinks on the page are reminders so that editors visiting the page can see what really needs doing, the rest are connected entries and are there so things will be joined when those entries are created. Hellswasteland 18:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Can You Help Me?
[edit]Hi Fall Of Darkness, I know you are aware of the dispute that went on about the Iconoclasm, and XiBalba on Aerial Techniques. After the long ridiculous debate, I renamed the move a Top Rope Flipping Slam as per suggestion, and catagorized three moves underneath it in alphabetical order to be fair (Fall From Grace, Iconoclasm, and XiBalba). I re-wrote it all again to ensure wikibility, and I referenced the moves (which might I add almost nothing is references on many of these pages). The account Timber99 was created right after I made the original change on the other page, and has made no other edits except to fight about this move or complain about myself or you you! Now all of a sudden, User:Lid is pulling a similar stunt where I moved everything (Professional Wrestling Throws). My references are a story written on the wrestler from Wrestling Then & Now magazine, as well as an interview with the wrestler Brimstone. The ONLY references for the Iconoclasm are fan sites! There are no references that show this move as created by the wrestler CIMA. A lot of things concern me with this whole situation, from users to lack of proper referencing. On wiki, the claim with proper citation should stand, not an unreferenced piece of work or a poorly referenced work. Regardless, I need help. If this can not be resolved, then the whole move should come off until more referencing can be found. Now all of a sudden, Timber99 is responding to my plea to User:Spartaz. I am feeling as though something is going on here, and I am not going to accuse... however people can put two and two together WrestlefnLI 16:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- This was a response I left after Timber responded again.
Evan Ginsberg who has been a part of the wrestling business for many many years puts out Wrestling Then & Now. He is extremely reputable in the business, and is an agent for many former superstars including Johnny Valiant. If you would like more information on his reputability, then feel free to either look him up for real, or chack out these links http://www.evanginzburg.com/ , http://www.riotradionetwork.com/index.php?view=getshow&show=Evan%20Ginzburgs%20Legends , and http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/thenandnow/ . I am sure that you can find plenty of reliable references on him if you would like to look. Here are two seperate sources from an extremely reliable source MAKING Evan & Wrestling Then & Now a reliable source http://www.mediaman.com.au/interviews/ginzburg.html & http://www.mediaman.com.au/articles/wrestling_then.html . Media Man Greg Tingle is a major source of reliable and notable information. I believe I have answered Timber99's question beyond a shadow of a doubt, where can I go from here?

3RR vs. vandalism
[edit]Thanks for reporting an abusive user. However, the 3RR board is for users who continuously revert the work of other editors. The anonymous editor you reported was simply vandalizing the article. In the future, please report that behavior on the WP:AIV. Also note, the user has not vandalized since the last warning, and it has been a number of hours since they last edited, so a block based on vandalism is also uncalled for at this time (but keep an eye on if the user starts editing again). Hope this helps.-Andrew c [talk] 21:46, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Block Decline
[edit]Blocking is meant to be preventative, not punitive. I don't think blocking that IP at the moment would be preventing vandalism, as the vandalism has already stopped. That particular IP only seems to edit a couple of times a week, as well. Perhaps they won't be back for several days anyway. Had the vandalism been recent, I would've only blocked the IP for 72 hours, anyway, and the IP might not edit that often anyway. I hope that is a good enough explanation of what my rationale was. P.S. - I see you're a member of both the video game and Disney wikiprojects, nice. Useight (talk) 04:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Proper warnings
[edit]A good overview of what warnings to give vandals and when to report cases to administrators can be found here. Essentially the last edit was three days ago; and also the user's talk page did not have enough warnings to be considered their final/last warning. Cheers. Nja247 17:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Dear WikiProject Video games member,
You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in the recent months.
The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.
All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
- Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
- Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)
Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Brimstone AfD
[edit]I've adjusted the AfD tag on the article to lead to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brimstone (wrestler) (2nd nomination), and created that accordingly with a note about the confusion. The AfD should now play as normal, with a seven day period for discussion before a decision is made. Hope that helps. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:16, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet Investigation Notice
[edit]You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please familiarize yourself with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/RingWars2007. Thank you. LM2000 (talk) 22:34, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of RingWars2007 (talk · contribs · global contribs · page moves · user creation · block log) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Fall Of Darkness (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I am NOT a sock puppet. I don't see why it was "ruled" that I was. Fall Of Darkness (talk) 03:13, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
The technically evidence that the checkusers examined showed that your account is the same as the other one meaning you edited from the same computer/connection. See our sockpuppet policy for why what you did was wrong. only (talk) 03:20, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
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.
only, I certainly did not edit from the same computer as any user, however if I used the same connection as another user, then it was unintentional- but I am an actual person and not a sockpuppet. In the same regard, RingWars2007 is not a sockpuppet of mine either. How can I go about getting my account unblocked? Fall Of Darkness (talk) 07:11, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
- You can't. The ruling has been made. You can return in a month using your RingWars2007 account. This account is permanently done. 121.214.113.9 (talk) 08:02, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Which would be great if RingWars was my account 121.214.113 9, but it isn't. So is there a way to get this one reinstated or am I stuck having to create a new one? Fall Of Darkness (talk) 15:05, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- A checkuser confirmed that you are the same as RingWars2007. Additionally, no, you cannot create a new one because that, too, would be sockpuppetry, and that, too, would lead to you being blocked. You're just going to have to wait for the block to expire on the RingWars2007 account. only (talk) 15:14, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- A checkuser stated that I've used that same connection. I am not RingWars and therefore have no access to that account. I'm just trying to figure out how to clear my name and my account. If I was RingWars I'd just wait the month to be unblocked. Fall Of Darkness (talk) 16:15, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- Who are you trying to fool? The accounts had unambiguous "behavioral connections" which is why an admin had a checkuser confirm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.121.20 (talk) 19:41, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

- A suggestion for Fall of Darkness: Read Wikipedia's Guide to Appealing Blocks. As others have made clear, absolutely no one is going to be swayed by unsubstantiated claims of innocence. You and Ringwars2007 got taken to sockpuppet investigation because of your ardent defense of the ridiculously unnotable William "Brimstone" Kucmierowski and your interest in things relating to Levittown, New York. As WP:DUCK says, if it quacks like a duck it probably is a duck. Given how focused you and Ringwars2007 were on maintaining that joke of an article on Brimstone, that alone is enough to convince pretty much the entire internet pro wrestling fandom that you and Ringwars2007 are in fact Kucmierowski himself or at least employed by him.
- If you want to be unblocked, I suggest that you 1) agree not to make any edits related to anything Kucmierowski has done in or out of professional wrestling, 2) apologize very humbly for any trouble caused (this will also require understanding how it was that you caused trouble, with bonus points being awarded for a description of how you will avoid causing trouble in the future). 96.244.132.35 (talk) 21:21, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
