Request reason:

I was trying to add verified information to the George Harrison wikipedia, and I kept getting blocked. I didn't mean anything harmful. All the information is verified by a legitimate source. Please unblock me, so I can inprove the website.

Decline reason:

You were edit warring, since other editors clearly had non-trivial issues with your contributions and repeatedly asked for better sourcing and discussion. Instead, you created more and more accounts to avoid the "final warnings" and make it look as if your viewpoint had more support than it did. It would help, if you make further unblock requests, if you explain your reasons for creating so many accounts, and how you would act if unblocked. Mangojuicetalk 04:36, 4 April 2010 (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.

Sockpuppetry case

Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dmerkurev for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. Blueboy96 04:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Ok, I was getting very frustrated, because my information was getting deleted, and my information came from reliable sources such as a website or a picture. I did not understand the comments and did not agree with them. I kept making new accounts, because that was the only way I could improve on my sources. I kept adding new and better sources, but my information still kept getting deleted. If my request is granted, I would add better sources. Otherwise, there is no problem with the information I am providing

Decline reason:

Your request indicates that you think it's okay to break Wikipedia's rules as long as you have a good reason; conflicts do happen on Wikipedia frequently. Now that we know that, the next time you have an editing conflict, you will create sockpuppet accounts to try to "win," we know that it's better to keep you blocked.

Is this what you were sockpuppeting for- to put incorrect information into the article? Your request indicates that you'd keep working to get your desired information into the article if unblocked; if that information is incorrect, that's a second reason to keep you blocked. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Ok, I am very confused. I was trying to put in information about George Harrison that is very justifiable by other data. He did win a Billboard Award. He was in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and so forth. I even put the link to the websites with that information. It is not incorrect information. Anyone can check the link to see that. It has been very frustrating, because anytime I try to put in some information, it get's deleted no matter what link I put. I don't even know what to do. I have been trying to improve my sources by changing them into ones the public will appreciate more, but that didn't help at all. Please unblock my account. I don't mean any harm. I just want to add some information to one of my favorite musicians.

Decline reason:

I'm declining this unblock request for now. If you clearly agree to the restrictions set forth below and the other conditions by Blueboy96, you can post a new unblock request saying so. –MuZemike 23:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I am willing to unblock if you agree to the following two conditions:

  1. You are restricted to one and only one account.
  2. You agree to a ban from making any edits to the George Harrison article. You may participate on the Talk:George Harrison talk page.

If you violate either of these two conditions, you will be immediately reblocked by myself or another administrator, and you will not be allowed to edit, full stop. –MuZemike 21:24, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

ok thank you very much —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmerkurev (talkcontribs) 21:53, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Does that mean you agree with those two above conditions? (Remember also to write in complete sentences and to sign in four tildes at the end of your message ~~~~.) –MuZemike 22:25, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I am somewhat skeptical about unblocking, due to the fact that you came back after a two-year break and immediately started edit-warring--with socks to boot. I think I need to see more evidence that you are indeed willing to edit constructively if unblocked.

You can do this by:

  • Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
  • Read our guide to improving articles
  • Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
  • Click edit this page on that article and scroll down past the message informing you of your block.
  • Copy the source of that article and paste it to the bottom of your talk page under a new top-level heading (like this: = [[Article title]] =) and save the page before you improve it.
  • Propose some significant and well researched improvements to your article by editing your personal copy of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
  • When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
    • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, and you agree to the other conditions proposed by MuZemike, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{helpme|your question here}}" to your talk page. Blueboy96 13:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
