Note to other admins

[edit]

Feel free to unblock without contacting me. PhilKnight (talk) 20:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked two other related accounts: Ianvista (talk · contribs) and Ianubuntu (talk · contribs), that were evading the block. There were a few good edits coming from the Ianvista account, but the Ianubuntu account was being used for vandalism. --Elonka 14:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet accounts

[edit]

Would an administrator be able to delete the accounts Ianxp,Ianubuntu,Iantiger,Ianleopard,Iancloud and JHDalswyn as they are my sockpuppet accounts but to leave the account Ianvista unless I have made three un-successful bids to have it unblocked, Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianxp (talk • contribs) 20:28, November 24, 2008

I am not seeing any record of contributions from Iancloud (talk · contribs) or JHDalswyn (talk · contribs). However, all of these accounts have been disruptive:
Some of the disruption has been quite unambiguous, including profanity and userpage vandalism[1][2][3] as well as repeated disruption at the Newbridge College and Patrician Secondary School articles, and the PBS redirect. Example: "I got a new IP address, Burn Wikipedia Burn."[4] So, why exactly should we trust that the disruption will cease if we lift the block? --Elonka 00:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was not referring to unblocking but to the deletion of sockpuppet accounts.
P.S. Does sockpuppetry count as a severe enough offense for an indefinite block.Ianxp (talk) 20:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To answer your first question: We don't delete accounts, but you can blank most of their pages and simply allow them to go inactive. To answer your second question: It depends what's being done with the accounts. In your case, some of the alternate accounts were used for really egregious vandalism, so yes, a block was appropriate. Then when other accounts are used to try and get around the first block, that just makes things worse. Would you care to explain why you were vandalizing Wikipedia in the first place? --Elonka 22:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I created this account to help Wikipedia but during the course of a content dispute with PhilKnight I was banded and I created the other accounts to avoid the ban and through anger I started to vandalize.Ianxp (talk) 18:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And if we unblock you, what are your plans? --Elonka 20:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If I were unblocked I would improve the Patrician secondary school page and try to resolve the dispute over the PBS redirect. Ianxp (talk) 09:16, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And yet the Iancloud (talk · contribs) account appeared today with these vandalistic edits.[5][6] That account is now indef blocked, too. --Elonka 00:51, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
LISTEN hear you ELONKA BITCH and PHILKNIGHT GOBSHIT if you don't UNBLOCK ALL of my wikipedia accounts by 00:00 8 December than I will use my VANDAL BOT to DELETE ALL wikipedia pages and VANDALIZE your USER PAGES and you KNOW that you can't stop me as NOTHING has worked and I get a NEW IP ADDRESS every time I log in so comply or it's BY-BY WIKIPEE-IN-MY-PANTS.Ianxp (talk) 19:39, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Y'know, it's kind of sad, Ian. You have the opportunity to participate in the building of a truly amazing project, this open encyclopedia known as Wikipedia. You could be part of something really amazing. But instead, you seem to just be using the project as a punching bag, to vent your anger. Please re-think your goals here? If you really want to help with the project, we would love to have you join the community. When you first started, your contributions were treated with good faith. We start with the assumption of maturity from a new editor. No one has to pass a test to start contributing on Wikipedia, we just let them in, no questions asked, and hope for the best. However, some editors don't take advantage of this trust, and systematically piss it away. Think of it: You started from a position where other editors respected you, but by your own actions, you have descended to this point of just ranting at a website, to the point where you are now regarded as little more than a vandal. Is that how you want to be perceived? Please, think about this. By just changing your attitude, you could regain trust, and maybe even be allowed a second chance to participate in this historic project. I wish you'd think about the opportunity that you're being given. So instead of being angry and combative, think about cooperation, working in a collaborative manner, and treating others with respect. Take responsibility for your actions, and be willing to apologize when you make a mistake. Be willing to make amends when you treat someone with disrespect. Show that you can learn from the past, to make better choices in the future. It would be helpful to the project, but also helpful to yourself, to make you a better human being, with better self esteem, because your actions would come from self-confidence and maturity, rather than anger. Give it some thought, please? --Elonka 20:24, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
