Hi, Essjay. I am sending u a message to ask for your help in the article ], cause there have been far too many reverts today, mainly by users who appear to have created an account today...I have many suspicions to believe that they are sockpuppets of specific users. I have also requested ], but i do not know if it will be checked. I would really appreciate it if u could help. Thanks --] 01:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


My comments here will be short and to the point: I'm no longer taking part here. I have received an astounding amount of support, especially by email, but it's time to go. I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break.

Hi Essjay, you invited me before(about 5 months ago), which I still apreciate, but I need to know something really important that's beginning to get on my nerves. It is this: How do you create the default revert that looks like this-Reverted edits by 24.128.35.30 (talk) to last version by Hbackman? It seems so much easier and more thorough than what I do now. Any help you can give would be appreciated ] 03:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Essjay. As I can see, you rejected my request for checking the ]. You said that this case is not listed in the reasons for check user. But, I think that this case falls under the '''Deception and impersonation''':], because he tries to create an illusion of broader support for a position (Greek POV pushing) in the Macedonia related articles using a sock puppet ], but having in the same time another account ] that will have no relation with his biased past regarding the Macedonian articles. IMO that is the reason why he is trying to hide the relation between the former and current user account. I'm asking if you can consider this and eventualy decide to check the user. Thanks ] 09:02, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I tried to walk away in August, and managed to do so for quite a while, but I eventually came back, because of the many requests I received urging me to return. Many of you have written to ask me to not leave, to not give up what I have here, but I'm afraid it's time to make a clean break.

My tools will be taken down shortly. I had planned to delete my user-space myself, but I don't want anyone to think I was going on a rampage, so instead, I ask that one or more administrators who are friends please delete the 288 pages that form my userspace (leaving only my userpage and this talk page).
