Someone unblocked me without an explanation. I assume that you are aware of the various complaints about "Mr. Alkivar." Since he was IMPOSSIBLE to contact by E-Mail when I was blocked without an adequate explanation by him, what am I to think?
Is it possible that NONE of the administrators have "sock-puppets?" You can be sure that some of them masquerade as vandals and then "rescue" articles just to "enhance" their standing in the Wikipedia Community. This is OLD news at this point. isn't it?
All of this nonsense alienates talented and expert writers. Of course, you already realize that, don't you? I am going to continue with my Internet publishing work where it is appreciated.Wikipedia is getting to be a tiresome place for innovation which rubs some administrators the wrong way. ENOUGH ALREADY!

What rot. It takes insane amounts of vandal-fighter to enhance one's standing, and there is way more than enough vandalism for any such prestige-seeker to fight already without necessitating manufacturing some.

Um, wouldn't a dispassionate explanation of the facts be better if you want help from the Powers That Be (of whom I am not one)?

Most likely a miswrite. He is probably contesting an block he percieves to be unjust. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

Maybe they have, but it did bring up one of the most entertaining Wiki conspiracy theories yet broached. In order to justify their power, Wikipedia Admins impersonate vandals, allowing for broad and unfettered expansion of vandalism-fighting abilities and the increased respect and acquiescence of others! Yes!
(Just for kicks, someone should vandalize [[Reichstag]] with a sockpuppet account and then, under their admin name, demand permanent page protection as a consequence.)
