Hi, I was recently blocked by a great admin who seems to of gotten a little jaded. The
block was related to my alledged motives, which in reality were quite good! Anyways, my
block was supposed to end about 8 or 9 hours ago, so if someone with the know how would
like to look into it, please give me a hand!
If you want to know why I was unjustly blocked (which I know you really do) please read
on! PLEASE!
Well I had given up on wikipedia a few months ago, and had left my user:colle account to
gather some dust. But then you know what happens, I ended up coming crawling back---but I
was only going to edit one article (Cuba). I read the article before I went to Cuba, so
it has a bit of sentimental value to me, but I digress. So I made a new account rather
than dig up the old password. Over a day or two I did some edits, worked on a sandbox, and
signed a RFC. Unfortunatly I was labled a sockpuppet by an avatar and another user because
I had unfortunatly appeared minutes after a high-profile editor was banned indefinatly.
So... I went and found my old accounts password (very lucky), and then used that account
to prove I wasn't a sockpuppet by removing the "suspected sockpuppet of.."
template from my new userpage, and replacing it with one stating "this user is the
legitimate sock puppet of Colle." The next day Sarah indef banned my legitimate
sockpuppet, and gave me a 12
hour break from editing. I've tried to explain the situation, but I haven't had
much progress getting back from her lately. I really don't want people thinking I
intentionally mess around with the system --it is just how it happened. Also, I really
didn't break any rules that I know of. Thanks a bunch!
Brian
