Request reason:

I don't think that JamesBWatson constitute appropriate administrative reasons for censorship under the rules. Locks are supposed to be preventative not punitive. I am appealing the denial on the basis of a lack of reasons or logic provided in both the case of the lock and the refusal of the appeal. Surely a lock requires reason and evidence not a need to be punitive on the basis of wiki-fifedom?

Decline reason:

There are roughly 30 socks associated with this account, many of them checkuser verified. This block prevents further disruptive editing until you can convince someone that you will cease the duplicitous behavior. Kuru (talk) 14:10, 12 April 2014 (UTC) reply

you have basically given me a Wiki death sentence based on the fact that a team of separate people wanted to set the record straight on one or two pages. Must I be silenced forever because some people think that the person whose page I was editing (with citations!) is a folk hero? I thought this was supposed to be a marketplace of ideas? Further, most of those socks are not me, and just because checkuser found an IP address or two in common - I have explained this. There was several of us living in this house all involved on the UW wiki project. How long must I remain in purgatory? Surely I am not the first wiki editor to work in a collective? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Decuw ( talk • contribs) 03:25, 14 April 2014‎

The evidence of sockpuppetry does not depend only on the fact that "checkuser found an IP address or two in common". I have examined the behavioural evidence very carefully, and I am totally convinced that this account has been used by a person who has also used several other accounts. And no, Wikipedia is not "supposed to be a marketplace of ideas". Assuming you mean that it is a place for different people to put forward their own original ideas, then Wikipedia policy is that it is nothing of the sort: it is merely a convenient reference point for holding records of information which is already established and documented. original ideas are unacceptable. I also note with interest that you say "most of those socks are not me", which seems to be an implicit admission that some of them are.

Since you really can't find any reasons to unblock, don't seem to understand the purpose of Wikipedia, and have inadvertently provided further evidence in support of the socking allegations, I have revoked your talk page access. You will have to request unblock through email from now on. Daniel Case ( talk) 22:27, 14 April 2014 (UTC) reply

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If you have already appealed to the Unblock Ticket Request System and been declined you may appeal to the Arbitration Committee's Ban Appeals Subcommittee. Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
