Okay, it's clear that fairness is beyond your capability in a dispute so I won't bother you further with any decision making. I can only conclude, based on your actions of completely dismissing all my points and upholding all of Fair Deal's (including totally ignoring his/her numerous policy violations which as an administrator you should be pointing out), that the two of you have some sort of hidden friendship which leads you to demonstrate such editorial bias. Either that, or it's some some sort of Canadian thing between yourselves which the rest of world would fail to comprehend.

How hard is it to understand that every wiki user except Fair Deal seemed to have no problem with the links that were already present? That's a consensus.
How hard is it to understand that it was Fair Deal that started the nastiness on the edit/history page and not me yet I'm singled out? I only responded to him as the record clearly shows. (Of course he tried to hide his edits by not signing in but it would be clear to any 10 year old who was behind them.)
I do understand he principles of Wiki but I don't understand how you can so plainly ignore the black and white history of the AC/DC edit page.
Have a look at Fair Deal's talk page and you can easily see that isn't the first time he's been accused of gutting the useful links on an artist's page. GnR, Bob Dylan and I'd bet probably a lot of other pages we don't know about that he's cut for no good reason.
Here's the best quote: "Great... now we have 1 external link.. to official GNR site which is empty.. not a single info on it!... and some great fan websites on which today's kids can see them on pictures and to see what the newspapers were writting about GNR, they are removed... good work!"
Obviously I'm not the only one to complain about Fair Deal's tendency to irresponsibly cut links left and right....
Hmm. Don't think you understand that rule but neverthless, acdcrocks.net or .com is not AC/DC's official site. It is merely an Epic Records site for AC/DC, similar to Atlantic's. NCC17 16:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
No, Circeus is God. All hail the great Circeus. 'Twas Circeus that came unto us in the night and blessed us with his exceedingly good wisdom to settle differences between mere mortals. Unfortunately, though, the mere mortal named Fair Deal who first called upon Circeus did go and not abide by the accepted wisdom of the great one. Then, seeking to be kept hidden under the guise of various IP addresses located in NB, CA, that UnFair mortal went back on the brokered deal of his wise and glorious mentor. Lo, how he doth risk the smite of Circeus! The religion of Wikiality is left unserved! I am most vexed. NCC17 17:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Whatever kiddo! But why revert it back to Fair Deal's edit? You seem a bit biased. Are you not troubled by Fair Deal's attempt to circumvent the system by editing without signing in? Are you not troubled by his numerous attempts to gut the links of articles on various rock bands? Take a look at his talk page and see how many complaints he's had against him for his reckless slicing and dicing. The AC/DC page had a great set of links, the absolute most knowledeable sites on the web, that stayed consistent for two years before Fair Deal came along to screw things up. Then, I agreed on the silly compromise proposed by the administrator he called in to review the situation (Circeus) and now he wants to back out of the deal. What's up w/that??? NCC17 18:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, if you thought he was doing a good job then why not leave his solution in place? And why take the step of protecting the article? Btw, the sites you compare to accaddacca.net may be flashier and have a lot of bells and whistles but are they run by AC/DC's personal team like accadacca.net is? Not at all. They are simply big corporate record company sites run by Sony & Atlantic whilst accadacca.net is run by the Young's own brother-in-law for Albert's & Company - AC/DC's production partners for over 30 years now!

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/NCC17 for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. —♦♦ SʘʘTHING (Я) 11:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

What independent users do is not my responsibility. If you have any evidence that any of the afforementioned accounts are mine you ought to present it instead of engaging in a witch hunt. Perhaps, if some did use new accounts, they did so because they were afraid of retaliation from user Fair Deal because people know his reputation for gutting articles of important information. See his talk page...
Speaking of Fair Deal, there's undeniable evidence on the AC/DC page that he/she has used a variety of IP addresses located in NB, CA in an attempt to hide his editing vandalism. Any fool could see that he has a laptop and probably does his editing from the parking lots of various businesses with wireless internet.
In any event, your charges against me are baseless and a quick check of the IP addresses involved for all those who voted on my side of the link argument would certainly confirm this. I play by the rules here and I'm tired of administrators who sanction first without any proof of wrongdoing. You obviously lack good faith which is one of Wikipedia's highest creeds. NCC17 21:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
There's nothing uncivil about reporting the truth. You are being uncivil by blocking me from arguing my side of things on the link argument.
Btw, nowhere on the acdcrocks.com site does it say it's AC/DC's official site. And Google doesn't say that either, for your information. By blocking me from saying the truth on the argument you will ultimately be responsible for allowing untrue information to appear on AC/DC's Wikipedia article. NCC17 10:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad you are now showing your biases publicly now. It makes it much easier for all to see why you rigged the vote by accusing my supporters of sockpuppetry and had a friendly adminstrator find me guilty before I even had a chance to respond to the charges.
You just assumed I was responsible for sockpuppetry with no proof whatsoever to back you up. However, in my case, the evidence was clearly there in the history of the ac/dc page edits that a large number of unsigned edits supporting Fair Deal came from the same small area of NB, CA according to IP locators on the web. The odds of those edits not being Fair Deal's are astronominc considering thet all came from that same small region of the world, all favored Fair Deal and all occurred within a few days time and everyone of those edits vandalised/reverted my edits. For you to ignore the truth of the available editing records either shows you're too dumb too understand what I'm talking about or you're a completely dishonest person.
Regarding acdcrocks.com: No it is not the official AC/DC site. If it was, it would say so and absolutely nowhere on the site does it do that. You're making up things to fit your argument.
Accadacca.net, on the other hand, is not a fan site. It is owned and operated by the same company that owns all the copyrights to every ac/dc recording ever done, Albert's Records. They have been ac/dc's business partners and family for over 30 years. All official news comes through their channel. Sony is merely a recording company that has had a contract with AC/DC for barely two years that had to be approved by Albert's. Now you tell me, based on the true facts of the situation which site sounds more official and do try to be academically honest for once?
Btw, people are reading this. You can ban me forever but people will know what a biased phony you are. NCC17 04:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I have been unfairly accused of and found guilty of sockpuppetry before I was even allowed to respond to the allegation. Supposedly, I created other accounts to manipulate the vote on the AC/DC Wikipedia page's external links. However, since I didn't do that, which I'm certain a check of the IP records would proove, I request that this false allegation and overly quick and biased judgement be immediately lifted.
Furthermore, I'm sure the AC/DC page enjoys a high readership but that not all readers are normally interested in editing. However, to accuse and find guilty (supposedly) new accounts of being sockpuppets just because they decided to vote on an important page matter is an unjust and highly unethical act by the administrator's involved. Whatever happened to the creed of showing good faith to other users? Does that somehow only apply to older users here? I don't think so and it's extremely presumptive to judge someone else here without any proof of misdeed.
I have also had my ban extended for supposedly being uncivil about the continued rule breaking of another user. This was done by the same 17 year old administrator who accused me of sockpuppetry.
All I can say is there's nothing uncivil about reporting the truth. It's clear from the history of edits on the AC/DC page that user Fair Deal uses a variety of IP addresses all located within a small region of NB, CA to make his multiple reverts of useful information rather than simply signing in and showing who he truly was. Anybody with a laptop can troll around various parts of any modern city and find dozens of wireless internet hookups available with which to hide their true identity. How likely is it that all the uncredited edits supporting Fair Deal's changes should come from one small area of the world as identified by IP address locators on the web? Now that's what I would call sockpuppetry...
I also said this user, Fair Deal, had a history of gutting important info and links from various articles which can clearly be seen from complaints about him on his talk page. (Not to mention all the complaints that he edited off his talk page...) It's truth but apparently that's considered uncivil on this site.
Anyway, by suspending my abilities to communicate w/other users and to defend my point of view regarding the editing disagreement w/Fair Deal on the AC/DC talk page, administrators Soothing and Iolakana have thus ensured a loss for all on Wikipedia who wish to express their opinions. How convenient it is to shut-up someone with whom you don't agree? NCC17 11:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
It isn't the point that (if what you're saying is true) I'm not willing to accept that Fair Deal is performing sockpuppetry, but rather that you should stop making allegations of on my, your and anyone else's talkpage. It's just not going to server any purpose. Take it to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets, where these kinds of accusations belong.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING (Я) 15:39, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
