hello, quick amendments:
"It made no contributions elsewhere, even to the Talk: page of the article
in question"
This has been well explained in the following of my message, it is a
fine wiki-ethical usage all along. This is a truncation you're reading, rely
on full version instead. (posted here 40 minutes before Jay's, your time)
"and certainly appeared to be a revert sockpuppet"
It wasn't, and didn't appear as such then, as I explained in my message.
Please don't resort to "it's our experience that..." kind of argument;
we're not meant to guess. The number of possible logical cases of behavours
identical to mine while not being a internet sockpuppet is so high that in
25000 years time one still wouldn't have digested it. That you are 'not used
to forsee' such or such is of no importance, concerning the veracity of
being a such said sockpuppet. It may change a bit for the explanation of
Jay's behaviour yes, reacting to some 'well known pattern', well known by a
particuliar 'Wikipedia' staff and time etc., but changes stricly nothing on
whether it is actual sockpupetting, created solely for the... etc.
"Moreover, the subject of this article (Israel Shamir) has been consistently
vandalizing it"
Not at all. See talk, see history; Shamir just intervened some three or
five times if memory serves, weeks or months ago, civil and compliant at
that. In fact we have one, possibly multiple, swift reverts from Jayjg
and/or this Denis Diderot fame-seeker (shame-finder) without one word of an
explanation, I repeat, without one word of explanation.
"He also appealed for friends of his to come and revert the article for him
on a Yahoo group called Shamir readers:"
It makes no mention of reverts.
"Even if this editor is not a sockpuppet, I'm quite skeptical that this
userid was created with Wikipedia's goals and policies in mind. > Jay."
Black magic again.
I'm not wild-eyed by this all comrades, and Jay is not the devil incarnate.
But I'm hurt and there should not be such a quasi-fetichist way for a
wiki-reaction.
So I'm waiting for good outcome, so I'm patient.

My complaint about being blocked.
Friday, 16 December 05
Messieurs,
I would like to register here my full disagreement about being blocked
from Wikipedia. This is unfair, and as I appreciate it, unjustified.
My IP address is 83.205.136.21.
My user name is "L'Omnivore Sobriquet", and on Wednesday 14th of Dec I got
blocked at 22:03 (Wiki time), with the message :
"Your user name or IP address has been blocked by Jayjg.
The reason given is:
revert sockpuppet"
Moderator Jayjg replied to my call for justifications with the single line
:
"You appear to be a userid created solely for the purpose of reverting
articles; that is what your edits consist of.
Jay. "
The userid made exactly two edits, both of them reverts of the same page,
Israel Shamir. It made no contributions elsewhere, even to the Talk: page
of the article in question, and certainly appeared to be a revert
sockpuppet. Moreover, the subject of this article (Israel Shamir) has
been consistently vandalizing it, in ways with which we have become all
too familiar. He also appealed for friends of his to come and revert the
article for him on a Yahoo group called Shamir readers:

Dear friend, if you have time, you may help to fight a small internet war
over Wikipedia, a popular website with many links. Obviously it is as
dominated by philosemites as any other media, and they consistently
demonise me in the entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Shamir When
I, or some friends correct their most blatant lies, they change it back in
no time at all. Afterwards, they refer to their own lies as if it is an
objective source. Everybody can add, remove and edit any entry in the
Wiki. I call those who has available time to make an effort and to
re-conquer the site from philosemites. Shamir
Even if this editor is not a sockpuppet, I'm quite skeptical that this
userid was created with Wikipedia's goals and policies in mind.
Jay.
