Blocked
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).Paige Barbeau (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I am shocked and saddened by this block and the claim that I am a sock puppet. I have been an avid reader of wiki for years and thought that it would be fun and productive to give something back by becoming an editor. I am, in fact, friends with TheTakeover and we created our accounts around the same time, but I don't see this as an issue. I am not aware of any rules against editors being friends, and don't understand why this is grounds to be blocked or be harassed by another editor. I also don't see how the user 2005 has anything to do with me, besides the fact that we both edit poker articles. I could see that 2005 was a respected editor and did not hesitate in backing him up when I saw another editor doing something wrong. It seems like you could just check the IP addresses and see proof that 2005 and I are not the same person. I'm sure we live in different cities, states or even countries. It's crazy to me that three non-abusive editors can get banned just because they are attempting to diffuse an editor like DegenFarang, who has repeatedly been complained about by the wiki community. I have never been complained about before and would like be unblocked so that I can go back to editing peacefully. This whole thing is ridiculous. Paige Barbeau (talk) 20:05, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Decline reason:
The claim that the three accounts are operated by three independent people is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who has spent a couple of minutes looking at their editing histories. In my six years on Misplaced Pages I have never heard a WP:DUCK quack anything like so loudly. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
