Barnstar

		The WikiProject Barnstar
		For creating the WikiProject United States presidential elections, which helped bring a semblance of organization to our coverage, and for working on several of the less glamorous candidates' campaign articles. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Straw polls are cleaned up!

Hey, I don't know how busy you are, but wanted you to know that the (relatively final) list of map changes for the straw polls is complete at Talk:Straw polls for the 2008 United States presidential election. I have had another editor breathing down my neck about this article and expect that, with this raft of changes complete, he will have quite a few words to say about sourcing in this article family, and it would be great to have another experienced hand around that talk page. Still fully committed to the WikiProject though I have been handling it in roundabout ways. I hope nothing is out of kilter with you. Thanks for all your help, and God bless you!

Thanks for responding so quickly! I see I left one out (South Carolina should be yellow green on the Republican map). I appreciate your help. JJB 18:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Woodrow Wilson

I'm wondering if you can help me with getting the article on Woodrow Wilson to Featured Article status.--Briaboru (talk) 16:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Banned

See WP:ANI for discussion of you. JerryVanF (talk) 22:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I have purposely refrained from looking at your edits but LessHeardvanU has stated in ANI that your edits are good. I am concerned about possible checkuser fishing and possible political motivations especially since the checkuser was strong but not proven. What this means is that you may have created sockpuppets but that an administrator thinks the Southern Texas user is a good user. For this, a permanent ban is too much and makes one suspicious of political discrimination. Are you willing to edit using only one user name?

Are you willing to edit using your real name? I am doing a study comparing real name and fake name users. JerryVanF (talk) 02:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

William Saturn (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

On User talk:Uga Man an explanation and a last request was left. I don't think a sockpuppet has been used in a while and for the most part the sockpuppets created did not at all help me or Uga Man but did experiments on wikipedia. I will no longer do this. Please respect the request left by Uga Man, he and I have done much good for this site.

Decline reason:

This is pretty egregious stuff. The idea that you should receive indulgence because you kept this account clean is absurd. (On the other hand, if you create a new account and edit productively with it and stop the behaviour that got you blocked, I imagine people would turn a blind eye.) Sam Korn 09:27, 15 May 2008 (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.

For clarification, are you denying that you and Uga Man are the same person? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 03:22, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

No. We're the same person but assumed different identities.

Also I want to emphasize that I am not a bad person, just a curious person and that is why I did what I did.

On User talk:Uga Man, you say "if you troll once its hard to stop." What makes you confident that you could stop if unblocked now? Also, did you have any other sockpuppets that the checkuser didn't pick up? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 03:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
