You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. — C.Fred ( talk) 05:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
And yet you've said nothing to Erigu. Discussion is impossible. I tried. Erigu just says "Don't listen to (user). They're a sockpuppet.". And then the discussion ends. Look at his talk page. You want proof? I'll even show you:

Noticing a pattern? PrincessMint ( talk) 06:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, you're signing fine now. Your source does not say that the game was intended as a sequel, all it does is compare how similar they are, if I am wrong, please tell me what paragraph states it was originaly going to be a sequel, cheers Spitfire Tally-ho! 05:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
That's not my source. Other people posted sources though. Erigu just likes to harass people. I doubt he's ever even played the game, yet he believes he has the right to decide what deserves to be in the article and what doesn't. He's doing the same thing on a bunch of other articles. The worst example, is the Wild ARMs articles. He admits he's never played the game, it seems, yet made a bunch of edits to the article, going against Wiki's rules. And no one can fix it, because he'll do what he did with me-accuse them of being a sockpuppet, then go around telling everyone else. It's really irritating. PrincessMint ( talk) 05:42, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
This is insane. Oh, and why am I the only one who got a warning? What about Erigu? What about the other people who were involved in the edit war? And look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Erigu#Re:_Higurashi
Seriously, I'm fed up. I came here to edit, and then this guy comes and accuses me of being a sockpuppet. He messed with all my edits using whatever excuse he can find, refuses to discuss or listen to reason, and is just generally offensive. I do not appreciate him going around telling people I'm a sockpuppet or a banned user, nor do I appreciate his nasty remarks. If you're an admin, shouldn't you be doing something about this? This is out of control, and yet I'm the one getting the warning? PrincessMint ( talk) 05:46, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
It's impossible. Don't you see what's happening here? There were three other users involved in the edit wars he mentioned, so why am I the only one who got a warning? They have all been downright nasty, and they certainly have not been assuming good faith. Erigu has accused me or sockpuppetry and is telling everyone that's true and to undo my edits. These people have even admitted my edits are right, yet still push their own edits, just to bother me. They've followed me to other articles as well. Someone needs to tell THEM to stop, not me. I'm not the one refusing discussion, but Erigu is not capable of such things. He either makes sockpuppet accusations or lies. And note that that admin didn't bother to respond here. PrincessMint ( talk) 06:18, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Are you listening to yourself? Stop telling me these things. I'm not the problem. Who was it that undid edits without any discussion? Erigu and the others. They aren't interested in discussion. They know they're wrong, but they just don't care. Erigu has been at this for over a year now. And you just undid my Haunting Ground edit, encouraging me to break the rules, even though I provided two new sources. If you truly want to help, you can't avoid talking to the people creating the problem. They are the ones against any discussion, who are just reverting edits for fun. PrincessMint ( talk) 06:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on Haunting Ground. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from editing. Nationmaster.com just parroted the Wikipedia article; a circular source is not allowed. The Helium article is borderline. Were there a citation or bibliography in the article, I'd let it go. Again, the venue for discussion at this point is Talk:Haunting Ground, not an edit summary. — C.Fred ( talk) 06:31, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Erigu has reverted my Haunting Ground edits 4 times, which is more than three. Both he and Juchachi have undone my List of Higurashi Characters edits four times. And 29Dupe did the same one the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni page. That aside, they all, especially Erigu, are being hostile towards me. So, I'm not supposed to protest his false accustions and rude behavior? And I'm the one seeing a pattern here. This is what Erigu does. He irritates editors until they defend themselves, so that they look like the bad guys. Just check out his actions towards other users he has made accusations against. I'm not the one who needs to start discussing-they are. I showed you in the links above, Erigu refuses to discuss. Heck, he joins ongoing discussions just to say someone is a sockpuppet and stop all discussion. PrincessMint ( talk) 06:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
And borderline should be enough. As it is, it seems like there's no source that's acceptable, regardless of what it is. PrincessMint ( talk) 06:43, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
As I may be one of the "others" you're referring to, for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni case, please see and discuss in the talk page. — 29th ( (☎)) 06:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
You have been blocked as an obvious sockpuppet of SyberiaWinx/Fragments of Jade. Again. The same offer to set this all side remains. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire - past ops) 07:16, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Same editing pattern. Same article interests (Clock Tower and Higurashi are SW's established interests, with some of SW's socks being named after characters/things/etc.). Doesn't indent replies. Tends to claim "official sources" back her up, citing front pages of official sites or nothing. Effeminate name from Japanese pop culture. "No proof that I'm a sockpuppet!"
There's too much quacking here. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire - past ops) 07:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
That doesn't even make sense. There's no user named SyberiaWinx, so would you care to explain how I could have anything in common with them? Even if it were a banned uers, I can see that their user page would still exist. Since there's no user by that name, I can't comment on what you said about "editing pattern", as I don't know what hers is. Same article interests? I've never played Clock Tower, just Haunting Ground. Those games are hard to find these days. And so I like When They Cry, that hardly makes me a sockpuppet. Lots of people like it. And plenty of people have usernames related to things or characters. But for the record, my name doesn't come from anything but my own imagination, and I certainly don't see how you can claim it's fron Japanese pop-culture. What the heck is identing? I'm still a new user, so I can't pick up everything in one day, especially when I've got all this forced on my plate. It took me forever just to figure out I was supposed to sign talk page messages! And who wouldn't say official sources back them up?! Higurashi Rei's official site does say it was aired on Pay Per View. However, you can't link directly to an individual news entry, and there are a lot of them, so I told the person to just search for PPV. It's easy, with the "Find a Word on This Page" feature. So I said there was no proof I'm a sockpuppet. There isn't. What, was I supposed to just let Erigu go around telling people that? It's a lie! PrincessMint ( talk) 07:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Except that I'm not. And wow, that really says a lot about you, doesn't it? You have no problem damaging the reputation of some girl, based on something Erigu says? I hope this SyberiaWinx person actually joins Wiki one day and gives you what-for in return for slandering her. As an admin, isn't it your job to stop things like that and this from happening? Look at the claims you are making! Those things make me a sockpuppet? Any username can be tied to something if you try hard enough. My name could be "Edward05", and I bet you and Erigu would say, "Oh, well the previous sockpuppets had Japanese pop-culture names, and Edward is a character from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist". There's no way for anyone to avoid being labelled a sockpuppet once they run into Erigu. He finds someone suitable, finds random connections, harasses them, and then some admin bans them without a proper investigation. It's sad when people that are supposed to be making sure bad things don't happen not only let them happen, but cause them to. PrincessMint ( talk) 07:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm not a sockpuppet, so I don't see how this offer is supposed to appeal to me at all. And have you ever noticed that your circumstamtial evidence could easily be applied to anyone? Take Erigu, for example. He's edited the Haunting Ground and When They Cry pages, but never for anything other than to undo other people's edits... His name could be linked to effeminate Japanese pop-culture, as could any name. And his general behavior is hostile.
Though your offer doesn't benefit me at all, I'm inclined to point out a few things. Your conditions. First, you mention not engaging Erigu. I've looked at a few of the other accused sock puppets, but the only one doing any engaging seems to be him. All I did was edit the Haunting Ground page, and suddenly, I'm a sockpuppet. How many of the other accused parties are the same? An edit is made on a page Erigu is uknowingly monitoring, Erigu decides to undo that edit without any given reason, and without any discussion, Erigu decides that person is a sockpuppet. He finds little things to connect the accused with another alleged sockpuppet, then requests a checkuser. And then, he goes around undoing that person's edits and telling anyone involved with them that they are a sockpuppet, despite it just being something he believes. And yet, you want to tell other people to stop engaging? How about you tell Erigu to stop getting on people just for editing? He knows all the rule loopholes, and he will undo any edit he can, claiming it is unsourced or false, regardless of whether or not he has actually played the game, watched the show, etc. He acts like he knows everything and has the right to decides what should or should not be on a page, and that is just wrong.
Erigu is the problem here, not everyone else. Why don't you try it out yourself? I dare you. Make a new account and make a true but unsourced edit to a page you know Erigu frequents. See how fast you're told you're a sockpuppet. PrincessMint ( talk) 08:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Okay, hold the phone. Is this guy really an admin? Because he declined my unblock requests, but seems to be a new user. He's made a lot of edits that it seems only admins should be able to make, and look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Marinecore88&diff=prev&oldid=274884913
Of course, no one corrected his edits on my page, and given how A Man in Black has treated me, maybe this is acceptable behavior for admins... PrincessMint ( talk) 11:50, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, no way is this guy an admin. He's been undoing constructive edits, then placing "last warnings" on people's talk pages, accusing them of vandalism. And he's marking admin discussions as resolved, when they haven't been. He's also decling people's unblock requests in a very nasty manor, as shown in the link above. All of his edits have been trashy and suspicious... PrincessMint ( talk) 11:55, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
And this Joe Taliban who also edited my page is doing the same thing. PrincessMint ( talk) 11:57, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Wrong. They did more than one unblock review. If someone is going to review an unblock it should be an admin who will take things seriously. This new fake admin was rude as well, just as much as 40 Lashes. I'm not a sockpuppet, yet they don't care. PrincessMint ( talk) 13:01, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:
What?! How am I banned? This is truly unbelievable. Erigu lies and harasses me, and I get in trouble?! I don't deserved to be blocked, since I'm not a sockpuppet, and there is no proof that says otherwise. It's unfair that all it takes is Erigu insisting someone's a sockpuppet for them to get blocked! I looked it up-there's not even a user named SyberiaWinx here, so how the heck am I a sockpuppet of her? And what's all this about a bloody offer?!
Decline reason:
Hello again, Fragments of Jade. No. FisherQueen ( talk · contribs) 12:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
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.
The previous one was declined by a fake user, so the whole page had to be revised. And did you even read what I said the last time you said those things? I did not engage Erigu-Erigu engaged me, and he still is. You think I want anything to do with him? Even if I were unblocked, do you honestly think he's ever gonna leave me alone? I won't be able to make a single edit without him undoing it for whatever reason he decides to come up with. And you say I can't fight or run away? But what else is there? Erigu doesn't discuss, as I pointed out even further above, with various links. And no matter what proof is provided, it's unacceptable. I won't be called a liar or bothered every time I edit or post proof or what-not. PrincessMint ( talk) 13:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
That's were the problem comes in. First, how would you feel if EVERY edit you made was reverted by someone? Or if you couldn't have a discussion because that same person would always join and call you a sockpuppet or a liar? The sad fact is, because of the way Wikipedia's rules are, it's easy to find an excuse to revert an edit. The easiest way is to claim it's unsourced, then dismiss any sources provided as unacceptable. And I'd like to be able to edit pages for other games and shows as well, without Erigu saying that some sock shared that interest, therefore, I must be them. You say these things to me, but as I've been saying all along, what about Erigu? Isn't he the one who goes in and reverts edits without any discussion and sometimes not even a reason? Why doesn't he have to start up a discussion for once? And by discussion, I don't mean flat-out telling someone they are wrong or lying, but actually trying to work something out? I don't know what his issue is with this SyberiaWinx, and I don't really want to know, but I'm not her, I never will be her, and there's honestly no reason to believe anyone else here is her, until an account by that name has been created. Even if Erigu persists in calling every suspected sock that, I suggest you stop it. Seems like a big name on the internet, and no reason for an innocent person to have their reputation ruined. PrincessMint ( talk) 13:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Fine, but how can I get disputes with Erigu settled? For example, I'm a big gamer. And I've become more than aware of the Wild ARMs dispute, but how can I voice my opinion on this without getting attacked? I've seen people post on the talk page, the admin noticeboard, the help desk, and it all ends in disaster. Do you plan to step in and handle that as well? It would be better for everyone if that particular one got resolved. Of course, that's just an example. Erigu has friends in high places, and he doesn't seem to participate properly in disputes. PrincessMint ( talk) 13:44, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Uh, what are you talking about? I've insisted from the beginning that I'm not a sockpuppet, and I meant it. I can't stop you from believing what you want, but that is the honest truth. It would be an insult to make such a pledge and admit guilt for something I have never done. This is the first time I've ever been blocked, and unblocking other accounts is irrelevant, since this is my only one. I thought you understood that? As for old fights, that's a whole 'nother story. I won't be restricted from articles just because Erigu will throw a hissy fit. There was never any proper discussion over the Wild ARMs issue. Anytime anyone said anything, Erigu labelled them a sock and got them banned. The only discussion that was productive was the one he wasn't aware of, and that was closed down immediately once he got wind of it and showed up to accuse the starter of being a sock. That there is even discussion at all is a bit much, since the facts are really quite simple(though Erigu would have everyone believe otherwise):
That is an official site. Check the 10th Anniversary section, then go to "History of Wild ARMs". It makes it clear what the title is and even explains it is an acronym. And the Wikipedia rules on acronyms in titles is quite clear-they are the exception when it comes to not honoring odd capitalizations in titles. PrincessMint ( talk) 14:07, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
I can't believe I fell for this. I should have trusted my instincts after what I read on Erigu's talk page. Don't you get it? I'm not a sockpuppet! I've never created a sockpuppet in my life! Even to get unblocked, I will not admit guilt for something I have not done! You can threaten me all you want, but it won't happen. It's like you are suddenly going back on everything you've promised. This is my first and only account on Wikipedia, yet you want to label me as a criminal? It's not worth. I'm innocent, and I won't sell my reputation and dignity on behalf of this plea bargain disguised as a genuine offer of help to a victim. PrincessMint ( talk) 14:15, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
You were just toying with me all along, for your amusement. That was your intention from the beginning, regardless of what you said. You knew you were wrong, but rather than just admit it, you tried to bribe me into taking the fall for you. How can you be so horrid? It's bad enough you played Erigu's hitman and banned me based on very loose circumstantial evidence, but this is just too much. PrincessMint ( talk) 14:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
And so you admit it. How can you toy with a person like that? I AM the victim! You blocked me as a sockpuppet for very flimsy reasons. A name related to Japanese pop-culture? That's insane! And you said you would unblock me, but then suddenly added this condition of me admitting falsely to being a sockpuppet! And stop threatening me! I am not a sockpuppet! I have no reason to show repentance! You owe me an apology, not the other way around! PrincessMint ( talk) 14:27, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
It's not generous, but you try and insist it is. You done nothing but harass me, and your reasons for doing so are very flimsy. You want me to say that I won't create any sockpuppet accounts or harass people, implying that I did so even though I never did either. You want me to answer for crimes I never committed, while Erigu gets off scott-free. It's incredibly insulting. I came here and tried to improve pages, Erigu starts attacking me, you ban me without proper evidence, and I'm at fault? Is this what the other banned users had to go through, because it's an injustice. I will always refuse to admit guilt when I am innocent. I edited with good-faith from the moment I joined. When has Erigu ever done that, huh? He undid my edit, accused me of being a sockpuppet, filed a report against me, would not discuss anything, started undoing other edits of mine, told people I was disagreeing with that I was a sock and would be banned, and harassed me over and over wherever he could. How is that good-faith? I'm not the one who needs to be lectured here. PrincessMint ( talk) 05:35, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am not a sockpuppet. Accusation and banning was based only on very loose circumstantial evidence, such as my name allegedly being related to Japanese pop-culture and liking the same game as another user. I am sick of getting messed with. The first admin who review this was actually just a troll posing as an admin, as was the second. The third was just rude and downright discrimination, though I can't be certain if they were an actual admin or not. And the person who blocked me played around with me with a fake offer to unblock me, with the secret agenda of getting me to falsely admit that I'm a sockpuppet. I'm not, and I can't understand how I can even be put through this. I am a new user, yet one person accuses me of being a sock with such flimsy reasoning and everyone believes it and harasses me. I'm a person, not some plaything.
Decline reason:
Not only is there plenty of reason to believe you're a sockpuppet, but you've also shown a very poor attitude in response to A Man In Black's extraordinarily generous offer of amnesty. Never mind not accepting it, you've basically responded by attacking him and everyone else. If you can't agree to edit with only one account and stop the incivility and revert-warring, then we don't want you editing whether or not you are evading a block.

It's not generous! I only have one account! And I've seen the sockpuppet evidemce, and it's both flimsy and circumstantial. My username being connected to Japanese pop-culture, which is something that can be said of ANY username if you try hard enough, proves nothing. They sell mints right here in my country. Is it because Japan has a princess? So do a lot of other countries. Liking a certain game doesn't make me a sock either. If you're going to make accusations and treat me like some kind of villain, you need to provide some real evidence. And it might help it you guys both stopped trying to attach the sockpuppets to someone off Wiki and actually gave warnings to the others who were edit-warring.

As I may be one of the "others" you're referring to, for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni case, please see and discuss in the talk page. — 29th ( (☎)) 06:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
You have been blocked as an obvious sockpuppet of SyberiaWinx/Fragments of Jade. Again. The same offer to set this all side remains. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire - past ops) 07:16, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Same editing pattern. Same article interests (Clock Tower and Higurashi are SW's established interests, with some of SW's socks being named after characters/things/etc.). Doesn't indent replies. Tends to claim "official sources" back her up, citing front pages of official sites or nothing. Effeminate name from Japanese pop culture. "No proof that I'm a sockpuppet!"
There's too much quacking here. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire - past ops) 07:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
That doesn't even make sense. There's no user named SyberiaWinx, so would you care to explain how I could have anything in common with them? Even if it were a banned uers, I can see that their user page would still exist. Since there's no user by that name, I can't comment on what you said about "editing pattern", as I don't know what hers is. Same article interests? I've never played Clock Tower, just Haunting Ground. Those games are hard to find these days. And so I like When They Cry, that hardly makes me a sockpuppet. Lots of people like it. And plenty of people have usernames related to things or characters. But for the record, my name doesn't come from anything but my own imagination, and I certainly don't see how you can claim it's fron Japanese pop-culture. What the heck is identing? I'm still a new user, so I can't pick up everything in one day, especially when I've got all this forced on my plate. It took me forever just to figure out I was supposed to sign talk page messages! And who wouldn't say official sources back them up?! Higurashi Rei's official site does say it was aired on Pay Per View. However, you can't link directly to an individual news entry, and there are a lot of them, so I told the person to just search for PPV. It's easy, with the "Find a Word on This Page" feature. So I said there was no proof I'm a sockpuppet. There isn't. What, was I supposed to just let Erigu go around telling people that? It's a lie! PrincessMint ( talk) 07:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Except that I'm not. And wow, that really says a lot about you, doesn't it? You have no problem damaging the reputation of some girl, based on something Erigu says? I hope this SyberiaWinx person actually joins Wiki one day and gives you what-for in return for slandering her. As an admin, isn't it your job to stop things like that and this from happening? Look at the claims you are making! Those things make me a sockpuppet? Any username can be tied to something if you try hard enough. My name could be "Edward05", and I bet you and Erigu would say, "Oh, well the previous sockpuppets had Japanese pop-culture names, and Edward is a character from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist". There's no way for anyone to avoid being labelled a sockpuppet once they run into Erigu. He finds someone suitable, finds random connections, harasses them, and then some admin bans them without a proper investigation. It's sad when people that are supposed to be making sure bad things don't happen not only let them happen, but cause them to. PrincessMint ( talk) 07:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm not a sockpuppet, so I don't see how this offer is supposed to appeal to me at all. And have you ever noticed that your circumstamtial evidence could easily be applied to anyone? Take Erigu, for example. He's edited the Haunting Ground and When They Cry pages, but never for anything other than to undo other people's edits... His name could be linked to effeminate Japanese pop-culture, as could any name. And his general behavior is hostile.
Though your offer doesn't benefit me at all, I'm inclined to point out a few things. Your conditions. First, you mention not engaging Erigu. I've looked at a few of the other accused sock puppets, but the only one doing any engaging seems to be him. All I did was edit the Haunting Ground page, and suddenly, I'm a sockpuppet. How many of the other accused parties are the same? An edit is made on a page Erigu is uknowingly monitoring, Erigu decides to undo that edit without any given reason, and without any discussion, Erigu decides that person is a sockpuppet. He finds little things to connect the accused with another alleged sockpuppet, then requests a checkuser. And then, he goes around undoing that person's edits and telling anyone involved with them that they are a sockpuppet, despite it just being something he believes. And yet, you want to tell other people to stop engaging? How about you tell Erigu to stop getting on people just for editing? He knows all the rule loopholes, and he will undo any edit he can, claiming it is unsourced or false, regardless of whether or not he has actually played the game, watched the show, etc. He acts like he knows everything and has the right to decides what should or should not be on a page, and that is just wrong.
Erigu is the problem here, not everyone else. Why don't you try it out yourself? I dare you. Make a new account and make a true but unsourced edit to a page you know Erigu frequents. See how fast you're told you're a sockpuppet. PrincessMint ( talk) 08:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Okay, hold the phone. Is this guy really an admin? Because he declined my unblock requests, but seems to be a new user. He's made a lot of edits that it seems only admins should be able to make, and look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Marinecore88&diff=prev&oldid=274884913
Of course, no one corrected his edits on my page, and given how A Man in Black has treated me, maybe this is acceptable behavior for admins... PrincessMint ( talk) 11:50, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, no way is this guy an admin. He's been undoing constructive edits, then placing "last warnings" on people's talk pages, accusing them of vandalism. And he's marking admin discussions as resolved, when they haven't been. He's also decling people's unblock requests in a very nasty manor, as shown in the link above. All of his edits have been trashy and suspicious... PrincessMint ( talk) 11:55, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
And this Joe Taliban who also edited my page is doing the same thing. PrincessMint ( talk) 11:57, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Wrong. They did more than one unblock review. If someone is going to review an unblock it should be an admin who will take things seriously. This new fake admin was rude as well, just as much as 40 Lashes. I'm not a sockpuppet, yet they don't care. PrincessMint ( talk) 13:01, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:
What?! How am I banned? This is truly unbelievable. Erigu lies and harasses me, and I get in trouble?! I don't deserved to be blocked, since I'm not a sockpuppet, and there is no proof that says otherwise. It's unfair that all it takes is Erigu insisting someone's a sockpuppet for them to get blocked! I looked it up-there's not even a user named SyberiaWinx here, so how the heck am I a sockpuppet of her? And what's all this about a bloody offer?!

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.
The previous one was declined by a fake user, so the whole page had to be revised. And did you even read what I said the last time you said those things? I did not engage Erigu-Erigu engaged me, and he still is. You think I want anything to do with him? Even if I were unblocked, do you honestly think he's ever gonna leave me alone? I won't be able to make a single edit without him undoing it for whatever reason he decides to come up with. And you say I can't fight or run away? But what else is there? Erigu doesn't discuss, as I pointed out even further above, with various links. And no matter what proof is provided, it's unacceptable. I won't be called a liar or bothered every time I edit or post proof or what-not. PrincessMint ( talk) 13:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
That's were the problem comes in. First, how would you feel if EVERY edit you made was reverted by someone? Or if you couldn't have a discussion because that same person would always join and call you a sockpuppet or a liar? The sad fact is, because of the way Wikipedia's rules are, it's easy to find an excuse to revert an edit. The easiest way is to claim it's unsourced, then dismiss any sources provided as unacceptable. And I'd like to be able to edit pages for other games and shows as well, without Erigu saying that some sock shared that interest, therefore, I must be them. You say these things to me, but as I've been saying all along, what about Erigu? Isn't he the one who goes in and reverts edits without any discussion and sometimes not even a reason? Why doesn't he have to start up a discussion for once? And by discussion, I don't mean flat-out telling someone they are wrong or lying, but actually trying to work something out? I don't know what his issue is with this SyberiaWinx, and I don't really want to know, but I'm not her, I never will be her, and there's honestly no reason to believe anyone else here is her, until an account by that name has been created. Even if Erigu persists in calling every suspected sock that, I suggest you stop it. Seems like a big name on the internet, and no reason for an innocent person to have their reputation ruined. PrincessMint ( talk) 13:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Fine, but how can I get disputes with Erigu settled? For example, I'm a big gamer. And I've become more than aware of the Wild ARMs dispute, but how can I voice my opinion on this without getting attacked? I've seen people post on the talk page, the admin noticeboard, the help desk, and it all ends in disaster. Do you plan to step in and handle that as well? It would be better for everyone if that particular one got resolved. Of course, that's just an example. Erigu has friends in high places, and he doesn't seem to participate properly in disputes. PrincessMint ( talk) 13:44, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Uh, what are you talking about? I've insisted from the beginning that I'm not a sockpuppet, and I meant it. I can't stop you from believing what you want, but that is the honest truth. It would be an insult to make such a pledge and admit guilt for something I have never done. This is the first time I've ever been blocked, and unblocking other accounts is irrelevant, since this is my only one. I thought you understood that? As for old fights, that's a whole 'nother story. I won't be restricted from articles just because Erigu will throw a hissy fit. There was never any proper discussion over the Wild ARMs issue. Anytime anyone said anything, Erigu labelled them a sock and got them banned. The only discussion that was productive was the one he wasn't aware of, and that was closed down immediately once he got wind of it and showed up to accuse the starter of being a sock. That there is even discussion at all is a bit much, since the facts are really quite simple(though Erigu would have everyone believe otherwise):
That is an official site. Check the 10th Anniversary section, then go to "History of Wild ARMs". It makes it clear what the title is and even explains it is an acronym. And the Wikipedia rules on acronyms in titles is quite clear-they are the exception when it comes to not honoring odd capitalizations in titles. PrincessMint ( talk) 14:07, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
I can't believe I fell for this. I should have trusted my instincts after what I read on Erigu's talk page. Don't you get it? I'm not a sockpuppet! I've never created a sockpuppet in my life! Even to get unblocked, I will not admit guilt for something I have not done! You can threaten me all you want, but it won't happen. It's like you are suddenly going back on everything you've promised. This is my first and only account on Wikipedia, yet you want to label me as a criminal? It's not worth. I'm innocent, and I won't sell my reputation and dignity on behalf of this plea bargain disguised as a genuine offer of help to a victim. PrincessMint ( talk) 14:15, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
You were just toying with me all along, for your amusement. That was your intention from the beginning, regardless of what you said. You knew you were wrong, but rather than just admit it, you tried to bribe me into taking the fall for you. How can you be so horrid? It's bad enough you played Erigu's hitman and banned me based on very loose circumstantial evidence, but this is just too much. PrincessMint ( talk) 14:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
And so you admit it. How can you toy with a person like that? I AM the victim! You blocked me as a sockpuppet for very flimsy reasons. A name related to Japanese pop-culture? That's insane! And you said you would unblock me, but then suddenly added this condition of me admitting falsely to being a sockpuppet! And stop threatening me! I am not a sockpuppet! I have no reason to show repentance! You owe me an apology, not the other way around! PrincessMint ( talk) 14:27, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
It's not generous, but you try and insist it is. You done nothing but harass me, and your reasons for doing so are very flimsy. You want me to say that I won't create any sockpuppet accounts or harass people, implying that I did so even though I never did either. You want me to answer for crimes I never committed, while Erigu gets off scott-free. It's incredibly insulting. I came here and tried to improve pages, Erigu starts attacking me, you ban me without proper evidence, and I'm at fault? Is this what the other banned users had to go through, because it's an injustice. I will always refuse to admit guilt when I am innocent. I edited with good-faith from the moment I joined. When has Erigu ever done that, huh? He undid my edit, accused me of being a sockpuppet, filed a report against me, would not discuss anything, started undoing other edits of mine, told people I was disagreeing with that I was a sock and would be banned, and harassed me over and over wherever he could. How is that good-faith? I'm not the one who needs to be lectured here. PrincessMint ( talk) 05:35, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am not a sockpuppet. Accusation and banning was based only on very loose circumstantial evidence, such as my name allegedly being related to Japanese pop-culture and liking the same game as another user. I am sick of getting messed with. The first admin who review this was actually just a troll posing as an admin, as was the second. The third was just rude and downright discrimination, though I can't be certain if they were an actual admin or not. And the person who blocked me played around with me with a fake offer to unblock me, with the secret agenda of getting me to falsely admit that I'm a sockpuppet. I'm not, and I can't understand how I can even be put through this. I am a new user, yet one person accuses me of being a sock with such flimsy reasoning and everyone believes it and harasses me. I'm a person, not some plaything.
Decline reason:
Not only is there plenty of reason to believe you're a sockpuppet, but you've also shown a very poor attitude in response to A Man In Black's extraordinarily generous offer of amnesty. Never mind not accepting it, you've basically responded by attacking him and everyone else. If you can't agree to edit with only one account and stop the incivility and revert-warring, then we don't want you editing whether or not you are evading a block.

It's not generous! I only have one account! And I've seen the sockpuppet evidemce, and it's both flimsy and circumstantial. My username being connected to Japanese pop-culture, which is something that can be said of ANY username if you try hard enough, proves nothing. They sell mints right here in my country. Is it because Japan has a princess? So do a lot of other countries. Liking a certain game doesn't make me a sock either. If you're going to make accusations and treat me like some kind of villain, you need to provide some real evidence. And it might help it you guys both stopped trying to attach the sockpuppets to someone off Wiki and actually gave warnings to the others who were edit-warring.
