Decline reason: We have no way of verifying that you're his brother. Sorry. — Daniel Case (talk) 22:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am Rappingwonders brother, and I would like to create an account here, but my IP is autoblocked. 71.233.232.196 (talk) 21:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fine, I guess I'll just have to wait for the autoblock to expire. 71.233.232.196 (talk) 22:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

{{helpme|I believe there was a page listing users on Wikipedia that have died. But I can't find it anymore. Does it still exist? If so, what's the link to it? 71.233.232.196 (talk) 22:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)}}Reply

This is likely User:98E. Considering he has a long history of impersonation and that one his other IPs was 71.233.232.243 (talk · contribs), this likely a valid autoblock. Spellcast (talk) 01:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Who the fuck (sorry about language) is 98E? 71.233.232.196 (talk) 01:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

{{helpme|Since I'm Rappingwonders' brother, like I said, he told me that if I wanted to create an account and upload album cover images, they have to be low resolution and have a good fair use rationale. However, when it comes to details, he said NOTHING. So: What's a good resolution for album covers? <s>Also, what's a fair use rationale and what's a good one?</s> [[Special:Contributions/71.233.232.196|71.233.232.196]] ([[User talk:71.233.232.196#top|talk]]) 21:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)}}

Never mind about the rationales, I already read about them. But I still need to know: What's a good cover resolution? 71.233.232.196 (talk) 22:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
I can't find any policy or guidelines on this, but glancing at Album covers seems to suggest that 300x300 is pretty normal. Algebraist 23:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yesterday, I created my account, and am Rappingwonders' brother. I got blocked for "sockpuppetry", and that was a redundant reason since I clearly stated that I was gonna create my account when the autoblock expired. 71.233.232.196 (talk) 21:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

This is bullshit. Nobody with this IP is a fucking sockpuppet. 71.233.232.196 (talk) 23:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Obvious sockpuppetry (as you know, since you started arguing that you weren't before I had a chance to say you were). No edits made by an abusive sockpuppet are "good faith". Kafziel Complaint Department 23:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


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.

I'd also like to know why ALL of my edits were reverted even though they were good faith. If nobody's gonna tell me, then they NEED to get a fucking life. 71.233.232.196 (talk) 23:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
You know, I'm not an admin (yet, perhaps in the future), but if I were an admin reviewing this request and I noticed all the swearing directed at the blocking admin, I'm pretty sure I would find myself much less willing to help solve whatever problem might be in question. Just some free advice, for what it may or may not be worth.  :) --InDeBiz1 (talk) 03:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rihanna - Break It Off edit

Hello. In regard to your reasoning on the talk page for Break It Off, it does not matter if one artist "clearly sings as much as" another on a particular song. Certain songs are billed as duets because they are either A) released on a collaboration album (such as Bow Wow AND Omarion - Girlfriend or Bow Wow AND Omarion - Hey Baby) from the two artists or they B) are released on the albums of both individual albums. Also, sometimes the record label chooses to service a single as "Rihanna f/ Sean Paul" based on the fact that the record can only be found on the named (versus featured) artist's album. Either way, Wikipedia must recognize the official title and official designation of artists, not the way a fan might perceive a record.

I hope I've cleared this up for you. If you have any further questions on this issue, please do not hesitate to create a user account and ask me on my talk page. I do not recognize questions or any other statements from IP users and delete any that are posted.

Thanks! --InDeBiz1 (talk) 03:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

What? About the "hick hop" thing? That was NOT vandalism, country rap is called "hick hop" sometimes. 71.233.232.196 (talk) 00:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I get unblocked today. Then, I make about 5 edits and get blocked again. Why? The reason is that I'm a sockpuppet, but I've been blocked for that reason before. The previous blocks to this IP for that reason are expired, so why do I have to be blocked again, yet alone for a longer amount of time every time I'm blocked? 71.233.232.196 (talk) 23:59, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Yes, continued sockpuppetry. You are clearly the person known as 98E and are not welcome on Wikipedia. Even if the block on this IP address expires. — Yamla (talk) 18:06, 15 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
