Blocked

[edit]
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).

Request reason:

I am shocked and saddened by this block and the claim that I am a sock puppet. I have been an avid reader of wiki for years and thought that it would be fun and productive to give something back by becoming an editor. I am, in fact, friends with TheTakeover and we created our accounts around the same time, but I don't see this as an issue. I am not aware of any rules against editors being friends, and don't understand why this is grounds to be blocked or be harassed by another editor. I also don't see how the user 2005 has anything to do with me, besides the fact that we both edit poker articles. I could see that 2005 was a respected editor and did not hesitate in backing him up when I saw another editor doing something wrong. It seems like you could just check the IP addresses and see proof that 2005 and I are not the same person. I'm sure we live in different cities, states or even countries. It's crazy to me that three non-abusive editors can get banned just because they are attempting to diffuse an editor like DegenFarang, who has repeatedly been complained about by the wiki community. I have never been complained about before and would like be unblocked so that I can go back to editing peacefully. This whole thing is ridiculous.

Decline reason:

The claim that the three accounts are operated by three independent people is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who has spent a couple of minutes looking at their editing histories. In my six years on Wikipedia I have never heard a WP:DUCK quack anything like so loudly. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:44, 5 August 2011 (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.

  • I have removed the block on this account since the premise, that you have edited with multiple accounts in violation of WP:SOCK, was not correct. I apologize for the mistake.
    I strongly suggest however that you reconsider your approach to handling editing conflicts. If a disputed edit cannot be resolved with one or two further article edits, it is time for everyone to stop and discuss (see WP:BRD). In particular, if there are external links in dispute on articles, we have places to discuss that: the article talk page (see WP:DR), the the WikiProject Poker discussion page, or the general WP:External links/Noticeboard. Edit warring will not get you anywhere.
    In addition, since that comment had been made and is certainly a possibility: trying to get the upper hand in a dispute by inviting other editors to "help revert" will also only escalate it, never resolve it, and as you can see may quickly lead to blocks (see also WP:SOCK#Meatpuppetry). I am lifting this block, even though I tend to think that you did coordinate your reverts in this dispute, because I see you have done several good edits, and have never been notified or warned about these editing guidelines until now.

    • Note in particular that you must not continue reinstating those contested links without finding a consensus first! I've pointed you towards placed where to resolve this, in this case I think opening a constructive discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Poker will be most fruitful. Continuing to edit war over this will not be well received. Amalthea 19:14, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome back to wikipedia, too bad about the false claims good to see things got cleared up, things are not always as they seem it could be a rabbit and not a duck at all. you have a right to clear any old messages per WP:BLANKING if you don't want them there. ▪◦▪≡SiREX≡Talk 02:51, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
