[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, in particular the one you made to Coccinellidae, was a violation of policy - expiration dates on protective blocks are set by WP administrators, and regular editors cannot issue unblocks, nor will altering the listed date make a block expire any faster. If your intent was to vandalize, then rest assured there are WP policies against this, and may be invoked if you continue similarly inappropriate edits. This edit has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

- It's too big for my machine too. Rockstar screwed up. It is way too big and it cannot scale. Either they are idiots or they just rushed it out for christmas release. I hope they will make patches to make it scale so it can run on old machines too. And use multiple GPU's (SLI). And I still do not understand how they make a game which will only run on WinXP SP3 and Vista SP1. The only dependency should be DirectX. It should not rely on the NET framework for example. So yes, it is bloated. The size is probably because of a large amount of textures. I think that is a minor problem compared to the fact that very few people can run the game without problems... --Ysangkok (talk) 16:14, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Do NOT ever mark good faith edits as vandalism, as you did to List of comic book superpowers. I have rollbacked your edits.

[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of The Clique series characters. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Stalking others contribs and doing random reverts just to do them is both childish and against policy. You are clearly acting in a WP:POINTy fashion just because your fancrufty edits were rejected at List of Inuyasha characters. If you do not stop, you will end up getting blocked. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:48, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Please consider withdrawing the 3RR report
[edit]Hello Karunyan. I've been studying your report at WP:AN3#User:Collectonian reported by Karunyan (talk) (Result: ). Your last six article edits have been reverts of recent changes by Collectonian, at a variety of different articles. Superficially, this appears to be WP:STALKING. Especially strange was your edit summary here, "Reverted good faith edits by Collectonian; Just trollin'." There is still time for you to withdraw the 3RR report, and I would suggest that you do that. That might be the least awkward way to get out of a bad situation. EdJohnston (talk) 14:26, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Coming back and starting this pointless stalking again is a sure way to get yourself blocked Karunyan. I have already alerted an administrator to your returning to continue the same behavior you were warned against.-- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 06:32, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Don't even act like you care about comprised of/comprises now. You are making a very blatant and lame excuse to try to continue an edit war you started when you wikihounded me previously.

Request reason:
[2] is not vandalism. [3] is vadalism. I think I deserved my last block (for all my past sins). This one seems overboard.
Decline reason:
No, it's appropriate, and please stick to one account if you want to stalk Collectonian; I've blocked the other one for abusing multiple accounts. --jpgordon::==( o ) 15:46, 24 March 2010 (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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Tim Song (talk) 07:05, 26 March 2010 (UTC)- Lesson to self: Taking a break from editing isn't the best thing to do when you're blocked... Karunyan (talk) 20:09, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Looks like this block was extended following discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive604#Karunyan Continuing Wikihounding/Trolling After 72 hour block, where there's ample evidence of block evasion and other policy violations. Now, checkuser evidence suggests that this account and Kagome1977 are related; your request above claims that you're distinct people... so, you're either lying about sockpuppetry or you're engaging in some sort of coordinated harassment? Neither sounds very appealing, really, so this might be a good time to offer some credible alternative explanation. – Luna Santin (talk) 23:57, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- There was no coordination and in my opinion no harassment. I hate carrying the burden of proof here but preserving my identity on Wikipedia just might be worth it. I've had a few interactions with this person (not always pleasant) and on one such interaction they showed frustration over "Collectonian" and "Wikipedia". Being a person who frequently edits Wikipedia, I checked out Collectonian and confirmed her behaviour. What I did not know was that Kagome1977 (most probably the same person) had connected to Wikipedia from the same IP's that I currently use. I did not "harass" her in any meaning of the term. All I did was go through her history and revert some of her recent edits that seemed inappropriate or unproductive. Now I concede that my edits weren't exactly in "good faith". But they were certainly not vandalism or even disruptive by themselves (without Collectonian's constant retaliation).......Karunyan (talk) 04:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- I would also like to point out that my "hounding" of Collectonian has been used as an excuse by Collectonian and User:Jack Merridew to "hound" me in return. How do you explain this [4], for example? If she can accuse me of stalking just because it was her edit that I happened to revert in an article of interest to me, I can accuse her of the same thing. It goes both ways, you know.......Karunyan (talk) 04:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Karunyan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I made my intention to quit trolling Collectonian even before the block.[5] If I'm unwelcome to even watch these pages and revert the most blatant (and quite successful) attempts by Collectonian to enforce her will, like [6] and [7], that's fine. I will refrain from editing Collectonian's articles in the future. After all, most of those pages are currently in the right version. About the "other account": assuming that Kagome1977 is who I think it is, I desire not to discuss my real relationship to them. It is true that my trolling of Collectonian was related to that person. But the worst I can be accused of really is being Kagome1977's meat-puppet. I request an admin or checkuser to examine all (if any) exculpatory evidence and clear me of abusing multiple accounts. Now I have engaged in quite some disruptive editing in the past (from plain vandalism to pushing my POV to the recent trolling). But on a longer timescale, I have consistently made useful edits. Most of the edits from 59.92.112.0/20 are mine (excluding the ones taken credit for by Kagome1977 and others like [8]). I have also edited from at least ten other IP ranges. I would really like to continue editing from this account and these IP's. So please unblock me and give me another chance to act in good faith.
Decline reason:
You seem to be admitting to a form of meatpuppetry, so I'm not sure how you could be 'cleared of abusing multiple accounts.' It would be better to frankly admit it and ask to be forgiven. Your most recent comments about Collectonian, where you deny that you did any harassment, and indicate that she was hounding you, suggest to me that you are too unaware of the bad consequences of your own behavior. It's hard for me to see any conditions under which you could come back. EdJohnston (talk) 16:04, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

What about the abuse of multiple accounts? Can you promise that you will not use them again, whether through socking or meatpuppetry? Because there are an awful lot... [9]Origamiteⓣⓒ 17:36, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Removal
[edit]Karunyan claims to not have made this unblock request with this edit. Given that it was made while logged in, I think the "Seriously, though..." section of WP:SOMEONEDIDIT applies. Origamiteⓣⓒ 17:02, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
- If Karunyan is right in stating that edit isn't theirs, then the account obviously is compromised and someone else is using it to make elaborate edits on the talk page in Karunyan's name. That cannot be tolerated. If he's wrong, he's lying, and we cannot tolerate that either. Talk page access revoked. Huon (talk) 17:55, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
- The user explained on UTRS that they deliberately posted the unblock request in a "broken" way so it wouldn't activate (since they were still drafting it), then Origamite "fixed" it for them, which is why they say they didn't make it. That explanation convinces me, so I've restored talk page access. Jackmcbarn (talk) 20:05, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Well, then I apologize. I with that they had noted it in their edit summary. Origamiteⓣⓒ 20:48, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:
I request you to unblock me because I have reformed. I was a kid when I did all the wiki hounding for which I am blocked. I have matured a lot since then. I was particularly struck by the gravity of my actions when user:anmaFinotera quit Wikipedia. That was not my intention at all. My young mind had assumed that I was having harmless fun. I will never again tease or targetedly revert anyone ever again. There are a lot of Anime articles that I think I can contribute to. I will be nice and considerate to all the other editors that I work with. As for the question asked in my previous request, I want a second chance and I don't want to lie. That is why I am requesting an unblock. So of course I won't be creating any more accounts. Hoping for a positive response, Karunyan (talk) 13:44, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Procedural decline. You are banned, not blocked. That means no admin is free to unilaterally lift your block. You must follow the directions in WP:UNBAN. Note that you've been asked to reveal all of the sockpuppets and meatpuppets. You'll need to do that as part of your unban request. Yamla (talk) 13:52, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Please read the ban discussion. The banning policy says that the ban discussion should "allow the subject editor to post a response." I was never invited to do that. There was no vote and only 3 people (hardly a consensus) supported it. But of course, if you want to have another discussion, be my guest. It's not like I have a choice.
I'm bothering with the following ONLY because you are insisting:
Meat puppets: please do not interpret my attempt at humour as not being contrite. But how can anyone "create" a meat Puppet? Unless they are a god or something. Even If you grow up have a kid and then use the kid as a puppet, don't you think "create" is too strong a word? Anyway, since you and Origamite have brought up meat puppets, let me try to answer that. I honestly have almost no recollection of my interactions with Kagome1977. The only thing I remember was I was working in the chennai Hilton hotel at the time and she once complained to me that she "was pissed of by this Collectonian on wikipedia" or something like that. Then I logged in on the hotel's wifi (I guess the same one that kagome1977 was using) connection and found and reverted some of Collectonian's edits. That was it. We went our separate ways. That is why I said I was nobody's sockpuppet only a possible meat puppet. Nobody even suspected that we knew each other. But jpgordon, on seeing my unblock request did a check user and blocked Kagome1977. So no, I did not have any meat puppets.
As for sockpuppets, I don't remember, man. It was a long time ago. I created all of them only to hound Collectonian and not for deceptive purposes. Apart from the ones at Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Karunyan and Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Karunyan, the only one I can remember is User:TheKarunyan. Since creating the last of these, I have not made any substantial edits to Wikipedia.

Request reason:
I want the ban on me lifted and I need to participate in the unban discussion. I request you to kindly do the needful. Thank you.
Decline reason:
You need to offer a statement for the community to evaluate in a discussion. I would also suggest that you try hard to remember your sockpuppets, with perhaps looking in edit histories to jog your memory. 331dot (talk) 17:27, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

There is one more thing about the community ban. Of the three users that expressed support, AnmaFinotera was the one I was having a dispute with. And even IF Tim Song can be considered an uninvolved administrator, that is only two people supporting a community ban. Nothing to close a ban discussion as ban.

Request reason:
I think I have said all I want to say at this point. As for a statement, here goes: I was a kid when I did all the wiki hounding for which I am blocked. I have matured a lot since then. I was particularly struck by the gravity of my actions when user:anmaFinotera quit Wikipedia. That was not my intention at all. My young mind had assumed that I was having harmless fun. I will never again tease or targetedly revert anyone ever again. There are a lot of Anime articles that I think I can contribute to. In the future, I will be nice and considerate to all the other editors that I work with. If anybody wants to know how it all started, they can be directed here to my talk page where they can read all about it. Here is the thing about sockpuppets: in the conflict between AnmaFinotera and myself, I realize that I was in the wrong and she was in the right. I would create these sockpuppets after I was blocked indefinitely (and ONLY AFTER I was blocked indefinitely) to revert a few of her edits or tease her in some other way. She always identified me and was thorough in tagging my accounts. To the best of my knowledge the only other account is User:TheKarunyan. For reasons that I don't remember, I tagged myself as a sockpuppet. That must have been the last account I created. I stopped when everyone here acknowledged that I could not be stopped. As for the future, I want a second chance and I don't want to lie. That is why I am requesting an unblock. So of course I won't be creating any more accounts. That is it for my statement. If there are further questions (as I'm sure there will be when people go through my edits), ask me and I will answer. So I hereby request that the ban on me be lifted by the community.
