User talk:Fensteren

Welcome!

Howdy, Fensteren, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for your contributions; you seem to be off to a good start. Hopefully you will soon join the vast army of Wikipediholics! If you need help on how to title new articles, see the naming conventions, and for help on formatting pages, visit the manual of style. For general questions, go to Wikipedia:Help or the FAQ; if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. If you have any more questions after that, feel free to ask me directly on my user talk page.

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as BenBurch) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. feb^talk 00:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fensteren, please help us out

You sound like a very level-headed voice with regard to BenBurch and FAAFA on the Free Republic article. As you can see, they make "sockpuppet" accusations against anyone who disagrees with them. Please participate to a greater extent. The people who "own" the article now are putting Wikipedia at serious risk of a libel lawsuit from Jim Robinson, who has already been proven to enjoy suing people and organizations that say bad things about Free Republic.

A Request for Comment has been filed

I've filed an RfC against BenBurch here. Your experiences have been mentioned and I would appreciate your description of your experiences with BenBurch, FAAFA and Travb. Thank you. Dino 21:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Second chance

I do not see anything clear-cut that says you are a sock puppet. I am going to assume good faith with you, unblock you, and watch you like a hawk just to be sure. I would hate to turn away an editor with good intentions without any real evidence.

I'm giving you a second chance, but let's think of it as probation. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 07:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is still under discussion on the unblock list, I have re-blocked pending that and a discussion on WP:ANI, where this block was reviewed in the first place. Guy (Help!) 07:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
