User talk:Gazanfar

It is suspected or confirmed that this user has used one or more sock puppets for abuse, libel, or block/ban evasion.
See block log, list of suspected puppets and list of confirmed puppets.
The use of abusive sock puppets on Wikipedia is prohibited; use of sock puppets to evade bans results in the ban timer being reset and may further lengthen it.

Welcome!!! :-)

Welcome

Hello, Gazanfar, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. Check out the Simplified Ruleset. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and 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 the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — if you have any questions, or just want to say hello, feel free to contact me on my Talk Page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

Always use wikiquette
Write from a neutral point of view
If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
Always use edit summaries when editing pages.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Contributing to articles outside your native language
Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

Happy editing!

With respect to a recent revert war in the said article: please discuss further changes on the talk page before reverting. --May the Force be with you! Shre shth91 06:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop warring, if you continue you may be blocked from editing wikipedia. Mikara 06:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hello - you should stop, not someone else, and you should be blocked being user Viewfinder but pretending as user Mikara. --Gazanfar 07:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

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).

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

Request reason:

my IP address was blocked -- I have been on Wikipedia for half a year or so, never insulted or attacked anyone, and could not just look anymore at how some IP vandals revert pages recklessly and without punishment. I never violated the 3RR rule, never insulted anyone, never did personal attacks, never behaved uncivily, never did anything wrong. Please unblock my IP as its my permanent IP and unlike others (such as 206.148.188.52), I never change it.

Decline reason:

You have been blocked directly, this isn't a block on your IP address. You are accused of violating WP:SOCK and in fact, this is definitely the case given your statement above and given this edit, though that occurred after your block. -- Yamla 18:13, 14 February 2007 (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.

But that is the point, it is not me - I have been reverting the edits of that sockpuppet! I have reverted several of his reverts back to the original. The IP addesses 206.148.188.52 and its variations (IP range 206.148.0.0 - 206.149.255.255) belong to someone at AGIS.com in Washington DC! Meanwhile I am based in New Jersey! It looks like I am made the scapegoat and being a legitimate, long-time user am punished, whilst the real offender, sockpuppet, is being let go free to continue his or her activities. Please take another look and compare - I am different persona, I reverted the edits of IP range 206.148.0.0 - 206.149.255.255 and other unidentified IP vandals. Thank you. --Gazanfar 20:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
