Hi Pestcamel44! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Hi - I'm afraid I had to remove the image you added. As the file says, "This work is copyrighted (or assumed to be copyrighted) and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips, and it is not covered by a more specific non-free content license listed at Category:Wikipedia non-free file copyright tags. However, it is believed that the use of this work: To illustrate the subject in question Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
There is no fair use rationale for using it in Summary execution and I doubt that there could be one. Sorry about that. Dougweller ( talk) 17:14, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
That's okay Dougweller. Thank you for pointing this out. 28 February 2013
This account has been

allowed, but using them for
illegitimate reasons is not. If you believe that this block was in error, and you would like to be unblocked, you may
appeal this block by adding the text {{

Request reason:
First, I can't see in what instance I was accused of sockpuppetry. I therefore can't comment on the specific case(s) but as far as I know I have never been validly accused of sockpuppetry. That said, if I ever did use two accounts on one page during the hundreds of edits that I have made it was not intentional and I now have a much clearer understanding of sockpupptry than before and will be very mindful of this in the future. According to Wikipedia I am able to have multiple accounts provided that I have a reason for doing so. My reason is that I do not want to mix all content I have created under the same account, as different accounts engage with different themes and topics. Therefore I believe the block is no longer necessary because if I ever did use multiple accounts to edit the same page, as I assume someone has alleged and then was confirmed by WilliamH (and Basalisk???) this was not intentional and I am now fully aware of the sockpuppetry guidelines and will no do this again. Sorry I could not respond to this block message sooner. Pestcamel44 ( talk) 15:13, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
There is a very clear link to the specific abuse in the block message. Several accounts, amongst your dozens, were created specifically to participate in an edit war, I don't see how this was an accident. Kuru (talk) 15:40, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
As I mentioned above I don't know exactly what I am accused of (Sockpuppety on what page, at what time) therefore I cannot give a defense of the action other than to say that, as I said above, "f I ever did use two accounts on one page during the hundreds of edits that I have made it was not intentional and I now have a much clearer understanding of sockpupptry than before and will be very mindful of this in the future." As I said above, that is possible that some (two accounts) were used on the same page. I have said that I understand now that this is not permitted and will be mindful of this and not repeat it. Your reference to the fact that I created more than dozen accounts is irrelevant because it is completely ok to have as many accounts as you would like provided you have a reason for doing so. I have stated my reason ("My reason is that I do not want to mix all content I have created under the same account, as different accounts engage with different themes and topics.") and it is not the subject of this block. I again request that the block be discarded because it is no longer necessary as I now understand the specifics of sockpeppetry. Pestcamel44 ( talk) 08:23, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Does War in Afghanistan (2001–present) jog your memory at all? I see edit-warring on that and the use of at least 5 separate accounts. I also see 3 separate accounts used on Free Syrian Army, 3 accounts used on articles about Qatar, and at least 7 accounts used to edit articles about railways (including multiple accounts used on individual articles). That looks to me like a lot more than "...is possible that some (two accounts) were used on the same page". -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 13:05, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Pestcamel44 ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
Boing! said Zebedee, despite the sarcasm in your reply I appreciate the fact that you are the first person to tell me what exactly I am being accused of. That said, I have already mentioned that I now understand the rules that it is not ok to use multiple accounts on the same page. Let me be more clear now in my admonition of guilt. My use of multiple accounts on the same page was a mistake which I will not repeat, now having learned of the severity of my actions and the having read and learned about the details of sockpuppety, the details of which I was previously unaware of, I will be a better contributor and member of the wikipedia community.
I am not interested in disrupting the discourse on wikipedia. On the contrary I am actively working to contribute balanced perspective to the biased articles which exist here, one of the 5 pillars of wikipedia. I am passionate about volunteering my time to do this and preventing others from distorting the content on these pages. I don't spend a lot of time accusing other users of bias or abuse on wikipedia largely because I am new to the community and don't know all the legal wrongs with which to orientate other users (through accusation or otherwise). Personally I'm not one of throw around accusations as I feel more strongly that allowing the discussions to unfold in the edits and talk pages is more productive but clearly this is naive and not the norm for behavior on wikipedia. That said I can't have been expected to have known all the rules of wikipedia and that is why I am admitting guilt but requesting a that the block be discarded because it is no longer necessary as I now understand what has led to the block.
Furthermore I have taken this experience seriously and in the future I will use a backup system to keep my passwords for different accounts available and use them separately for different content. This might even be a positive learning experience since doing this might enable me to join more wikipedia groups related to the content topics of the accounts and my collaboration with other users. (Note from Boing! Pestcamel44 has agreed to use only one account, and will not use different accounts for different content - see below)-- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:58, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
So in summary, I apologize for this. I now understand what has happened, why it was wrong, what I need to do to avoid this in the future and provided a plan for how I plan to do this. A one strike and you're out system is clearly not the intention of sockpuppet banning and that is why there is a procedure for unbanning which includes providing an explanation of why the ban is no longer necessary. This is what I have tried to do here and I hope longtime editors can understand that using wikipedia and becoming accustomed to its rules is a learning process and that good intentioned people (of which I consider myself one) make mistakes too. I hope that my comments can be taken at face value as genuine and sincere.

Request reason:
Your reason here Yes I completely accept this. Since I had not heard anything from anyone since I made my last post I started a new account named user:Officialguide and I have only used this account since then for personal reasons. Any other posts I have made I have made my ip address public when making them. Thank you Basalisk for your reply and offer. Pestcamel44 ( talk) 18:45, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
No. I do not believe you are telling the truth. I left my comment here offering you a last chance on the 10th of April, and yet you created the latest sock account on the 12th. That's not really consistent with your claim that you created a new sock because no one had responded to you. You created that new sock purely to avoid scrutiny, and you're only posting here now because that old account was blocked and you are likely unable to create a new one because of autoblocks in place. You were given a last chance, and you carried on creating socks. Basalisk inspect damage⁄ berate 10:08, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Starting a new account while blocked is block evasion, and accordingly I have blocked Officialguide. Creating yet another account while discussion here is ongoing does not help you.-- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 21:04, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Look, I'm sorry. I've tried to follow all of the rules. I asked for a reply and no one responded for 10 days to me. I was able to create a new account and you can see that I've made sure to keep my editing, which has been relatively limited, to the one account Officialguide unless otherwise using an open IP address. In other words, I've been showing that I am now following the rules of having one account. Pestcamel44 ( talk) 09:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Pestcamel44 ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
Basalisk and User:Anthony.bradbury I said I was sorry but honestly you have to look at what I have done. I did exactly what was asked of me. I only had ONE account. I even did more than that because I followed my own promise to join groups that were of interest to me in order to become a better editor. You claim that I am only posting now because a new block is in place is of course correct. I was quite happy working with only ONE account until I was blocked from even editing under an ip address yesterday. That's why I came back to Pestcamel44 and sure enough after 10 days someone had responded and I had never seen that until yesterday. My point is simply that I have followed the ONE account rule and have not created any socks unless you categorize the user:Officialguide as a sock but since I did it with the intent of it being my sole account it's hopefully understandable. Thank you again for reviewing this and I'm sorry for all of this, I'm not a bad person and I appreciate that you all take these issues so seriously. But I am honestly trying to contribute here and I think you can see that if you look at how I have used my account over the past 14 days. I have a completely different understanding of sockpuppetry now than I did before, frankly I didn't even know what the term was but if you check my usage you will see that I am not practicing that today.
Decline reason:
This request, and indeed all of your actions are either horribly disingenuous or outright lies. A BLOCK applies to YOU the person. When blocked, YOU the person may not edit Wikipedia either through an account, or an IP address. You most certainly may not create new accounts while dozens of admins are investigating your unblock requests. I am currently goign to go out on a limb and propose the standard offer: for the next 3 months, stay away from Wikipedia. Do not edit as an IP. Do not login to this account. Of course, you now already know that creating or using any other account is improper, so I should not have to mention it. No earlier than July 28, you may return to this page and request a compliant unblock request - unblock will not be automatic. The admin will most likely request a checkuser to verify that you have not edited this project at any time during the block. If the admin determines you have violated these terms, the counter will be reset for an additional 3 months. ( ✉→ BWilkins ←✎) 11:43, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
Your reason here What you are saying BWilkins is just WRONG, the offer I was made on the 10th was that I was allowed to use only one account. You jumped into this conversation without reading it through and that's not right. What I said I did was not a lie it was exactly what I did. CHECK IT if you don't think so. I started 1 new account and ONLY edited with that ONE. Please let Basalisk respond. Basalisk has placed the block and is more familiar with the situation. It's impossible to have a conversation when admins are just jumping into this on the fly and not reading the entire posts and evaluating the my usage. I can wait a few days for an admin to do the research and then make a fair judgement. Pestcamel44 ( talk) 14:47, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
It is just possible that you really do not understand some of what has been said to you, but in view of the fact that you have clearly been thoroughly dishonest in connection with some aspects of the case, it is not obvious that you deserve the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, whatever the proportions of dishonesty and incompetence in the mixture that leads you to be so disruptive, I suggest that you accept the offer that BWilkins has made to you. Any further attempt to evade the block before the suggested 3 months are up is likely to lead to your being banned from Wikipedia. Any more unblock requests that fail to address the issues that have been raised is likely to lead to loss of talk page access to stop you wasting administrators' time. Considering that by your own testimony, while you were blocked for sockpuppetry you made yet another sockpuppet account to evade the block on this one, you are amazingly lucky to have an offer made to let you back in three months: as BWilkins said, he has gone out on a limb to make such an offer. I strongly suggest that you accept that offer: it is virtually inconceivable you will be offered any more, and very likely that you will be offered less.

JamesBWatson please list exactly what "the issues that have been raised" in the above are. If I can't address (or haven't already addressed) them it's unlikely I'll be able to in 3 months, which is a requirement for the unblock them. Pestcamel44 ( talk) 08:08, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

That's why I came back to Pestcamel44 and sure enough after 10 days someone had responded and I had never seen that until yesterday. My point is simply that I have followed the ONE account rule and have not created any socks unless you categorize the user:Officialguide as a sock but since I did it with the intent of it being my sole account it's hopefully understandable. Thank you again for reviewing this and I'm sorry for all of this, I'm not a bad person and I appreciate that you all take these issues so seriously. But I am honestly trying to contribute here and I think you can see that if you look at how I have used my account over the past 14 days. I have a completely different understanding of sockpuppetry now than I did before, frankly I didn't even know what the term was but if you check my usage you will see that I am not practicing that today.
Decline reason:
This request, and indeed all of your actions are either horribly disingenuous or outright lies. A BLOCK applies to YOU the person. When blocked, YOU the person may not edit Wikipedia either through an account, or an IP address. You most certainly may not create new accounts while dozens of admins are investigating your unblock requests. I am currently goign to go out on a limb and propose the standard offer: for the next 3 months, stay away from Wikipedia. Do not edit as an IP. Do not login to this account. Of course, you now already know that creating or using any other account is improper, so I should not have to mention it. No earlier than July 28, you may return to this page and request a compliant unblock request - unblock will not be automatic. The admin will most likely request a checkuser to verify that you have not edited this project at any time during the block. If the admin determines you have violated these terms, the counter will be reset for an additional 3 months. ( ✉→ BWilkins ←✎) 11:43, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
Your reason here What you are saying BWilkins is just WRONG, the offer I was made on the 10th was that I was allowed to use only one account. You jumped into this conversation without reading it through and that's not right. What I said I did was not a lie it was exactly what I did. CHECK IT if you don't think so. I started 1 new account and ONLY edited with that ONE. Please let Basalisk respond. Basalisk has placed the block and is more familiar with the situation. It's impossible to have a conversation when admins are just jumping into this on the fly and not reading the entire posts and evaluating the my usage. I can wait a few days for an admin to do the research and then make a fair judgement. Pestcamel44 ( talk) 14:47, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
It is just possible that you really do not understand some of what has been said to you, but in view of the fact that you have clearly been thoroughly dishonest in connection with some aspects of the case, it is not obvious that you deserve the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, whatever the proportions of dishonesty and incompetence in the mixture that leads you to be so disruptive, I suggest that you accept the offer that BWilkins has made to you. Any further attempt to evade the block before the suggested 3 months are up is likely to lead to your being banned from Wikipedia. Any more unblock requests that fail to address the issues that have been raised is likely to lead to loss of talk page access to stop you wasting administrators' time. Considering that by your own testimony, while you were blocked for sockpuppetry you made yet another sockpuppet account to evade the block on this one, you are amazingly lucky to have an offer made to let you back in three months: as BWilkins said, he has gone out on a limb to make such an offer. I strongly suggest that you accept that offer: it is virtually inconceivable you will be offered any more, and very likely that you will be offered less.

JamesBWatson please list exactly what "the issues that have been raised" in the above are. If I can't address (or haven't already addressed) them it's unlikely I'll be able to in 3 months, which is a requirement for the unblock them. Pestcamel44 ( talk) 08:08, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
