SPI - Regarding XMattingly's blocked account

Hi, Basalisk. Thanks for your attention into this. There is no need to remind me to keep discussion civil though, since I never made an inflammatory comment. As I said before, this was the only comment that I made on the Bradley Manning talk page. The others that were attributed to me are completely false.. It looks like Richard BB fully intended to throw the book at me based on an assumption, which you agreed with..

It looks like the user Numazİs was ultimately attributed to someone named JarlaxleArtemis, who is apparently a big thorn in Misplaced Pages's side. Given your comment to Toddy1 (on the "SPI" subject) on your talk page that Numazİs was a sock of someone, I'm not getting the impression that concrete evidence was present before you decided to block my account. One way or the other, having followed the talk page history, sock puppet investigation, etc. it does appear that my account was hacked. And I'm not happy about having to deal with a wrong judgement against my account, and especially having my input about the state of the Bradley Manning article silenced, either.

I would appreciate more information on the following:

1. Can I get verification that my account was hacked, and how can I prevent this in the future?
2. Since my only wrongdoing was not more than making a page edit and reverting someone else's revert, can I get the "Blocked for sockpuppetry" subject expunged from my talk page?

Anyway, from all appearances I'll have to assume that one or more people were abusing Misplaced Pages in the midst the controversy, and I got caught in the crossfire. Thanks again for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.171.97.91 (talk) 00:16, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Ban policy and consequences

Hi Basalisk,

I would appreciate your opinion as supervisor in the issue Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Problems_at_War_of_the_Pacific. He absolutly can't help doing it: . --Best regards, KS (wat?) 09:12, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Basalisk, the user "Keysanger" who has messaged you above was vandalizing the article on the War of the Pacific (see ), which is why I made a notification of the issue at AN/I. As you can see in the article's history (see ), his actions were reverted by User:Cloudaoc and User:Darkness Shines (the former being the one who contacted me about the problem, and the latter responding to Keysanger's "strange" actions in the talk page).

In the article's talk page, my only actions were to recommend Keysanger to "provide evidence for his claims" and also notified that his vandalism of the article (massive deletion of source material) was further unjustified given that he even deleted an author, Jorge Basadre, who he claimed was reliable (for Keysanger's deletion of the Basadre source, see ).

I believe my actions at no point broke my topic ban and were justified under the "obvious vandalism clause" at WP:TBAN.

If you have time, please do look further into Keysanger's actions at the article. He seems to have a major WP:COI in the subject. I honestly would like to respond to his content questions (I have the book and information he claims is "nonexistent"), but have refrained myself from doing so per the TBAN.

Best regards.--MarshalN20 | 13:49, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
