==Message for User:Mushroom==

I am the wife of ], as he advised the ] and we log in from the same office computer. We don’t contribute all that often and so it came as quite a surprise to Danny to find himself blocked by you and this message on his user page:

: This user is a sock puppet of Ted Wilkes, as established by Misplaced Pages:Requests for CheckUser/Archive/March 2006#Ted Wilkes (talk • contribs) and related accounts,

Because you provided no explantion for your actions on his talk page, it took me some time to track it down. At the ] you wrote:
: "See this request for CheckUser: Ted Wilkes, Danny B. and Karl Schalike are the same person." Mushroom (Talk) 06:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I note that this statement by you was posted immediately after Danny complained on the Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents about vandalism by Onefortyone which you did nothing about.

However, at ] ] who did the checking said only:
: "Ted Wilkes, ] and Karl Schalike appear likely to be the same."

Your action appears to have been based on a message left on your talk page by ] , someone on probation who I see has been banned by ] from editing certain articles for a time as result of his repeated violations of his probation and someone that numerous others have complained about. (], ], ], ], ] and if I looked a little further, I'm swure I would find plenty more).

Mushroom, I think it is right to assume that a ] has the responsibility for stating facts, not making quick guesses to spin there own version of what ] who did the checking said. Your rush to judgment has forced me to do a lot of searching all over Misplaced Pages for no reason. I will unblock my husband and place copies of this message on the talk page of each member of the Arbitration Committee.

Just for the record, because my husband has an interest, I am the one who pointed him to the non-encyclopedic material being pushed by ] after I came across a nonsensical contradiction in on of the articles he edited. I also come from a small city with one of the highest number of writers per capita in Canada and where Misplaced Pages has a high profile and where I know from the local newspaper(s) and business/social associations that there are a number of Misplaced Pages editors. - ] 19:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you for your good work in blocking this sockpuppet. ] 23:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Both Cynthia B. and DW/JillandJack or Ted Wilkes contributed to the following articles: , , , , , , ,etc. This suggests that DW alias Ted Wilkes has created many more sockpuppets, as DW did in the past. ] 23:13, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I contributed an article ( Laura (Band) ) which you deleted with a comment along the lines of "does not assert notability" (sorry if I've not reproduced your comment precisely, I can't find it now).

I just wanted to understand the the process by which the article was deleted; I can't see any reference to it under the articles for deletion discussion pages, but that could just be down to my noobishness at using the search tools.

Proposed deletion of No Mercy Festival

Notice

The article No Mercy Festival has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article has been tagged for over a decade as unsourced - I did a Google search and the subject does not seem to be notable.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
