==Welcome==

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Before you proceed further, please take the time to read out manual of style, as well as the specific manuals of style of Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life and Wikipedia:WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles (you may join the latter two if you want).

I am currently going through your edits and may have to revert some of them. Here are some reminders:

Do not introduce "unique" formatting (like the hatnote of common names) to articles when it violates the manual of style
Please use sentence case in common names, unless a proper name is included (e.g. black spitting cobra not Black Spitting Cobra; Japanese pond turtle not Japanese Pond Turtle). Exceptions to this is if the common names are official and regulated by a governing body as is the case with official bird names (e.g. Green-crowned Brilliant not green-crowned brilliant).
Always capitalize genera. Do not mention subspecific epithets in isolation, use a trinomen, though you can abbreviate the generic and specific names (e.g. Naja nigricollis nigricollis or N. n. nigricollis, not nigricollis or naja).
Proper names should be in title case. e.g. Sahara Desert not Sahara desert

If you have further questions related to formatting, layout, and whatnot, don't hesitate to ask in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 16:32, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Naja nigricollis. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 17:47, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

LAx33 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Why am I being blocked? I just started using this account. Did I do something wrong? LAx33 (talk) 18:31, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Checkuser confirmed sockpuppet and basically admitting to sockpuppetry in the rant below. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:59, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.

To whom it may concern: please see User_talk:Tnxman307#CU_requested. Sebastian, I left you a note on your talk page. Drmies (talk) 18:40, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Drmies, you haven't done NOTHING for any of the snake articles, so don't act like you did anything. Most of the cobra articles, I did and I created half of them. You know what? I tried my best to edit in good faith and I begged and pleaded for a second chance and what happens? I get punished. As far as I'm concerned, you guys are breaking Wikipedia policy by punishing me. You know damn well I don't mean to cause any damage or disruption to Wikipedia (which is what blocks are meant for, not to punish users). You drove me to create another account. But you know what? I don't care anymore. I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE ANYMORE. You admins act like you're gods here on Wikipedia - haven't you ever made a mistake in your life and wanted a second chance? It's just Wikipedia. Well here I am asking for one. Why is it so hard to give me a second chance? I did a lot of good and tried very hard to improve articles. I even created many, many articles. Yet still, I wasn't given a second chance. Why? LAx33 (talk) 18:53, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This was unexpected. I've seen you around as Sebastian80. :/ Though I do think a six month block is rather harsh for sockpuppeting alone and I can understand the frustration, more mistakes really won't correct the former. Anyway, good luck.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 18:55, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obsidian, the admins on Wikipedia are basically (not all as I know many that are professionals in their fields, but a good chunk of them) computer nerds with no life. It's the ones with no lives that go around acting like they are gods, taking out their frustration on others because (a)they don't have a life; (b)they don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend because they can't get one and so are in a constant state of frustration that they can't get none; and (c)they think they have something to prove. That's all that some of them are. It's the plain truth and they know it. Of course they will never admit it. At least I have a hobby outside Wikipedia (keeping snakes), I have a girlfriend, and a life. I just happened to enjoy editing and sharing my knowledge on venomous snakes. Too bad they can't see that. They just see the "sock puppetry" and "oh my lord, it's the end of the world that this person had past accounts". Geeks! LAx33 (talk) 19:07, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Look, you evaded a validly-imposed block, thus, you're blocked again. We are all in favour of second chances. However, WP:CLEANSTART is clear: you may not return (or create a new account) while a block remains on the original account. A block applies to YOU the person, not an account. Unless you are able to get the block of your main account released, you are not permitted to edit Wikipedia, even anonymously (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 19:13, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you had stayed away for a month or two (when you were Sebastian80) you would probably have been welcomed back. Instead, you posted a billion unblock requests that did not endear anyone to you. Then your talk page access is revoked, and lo and behold, you're back the next day with a new account. I saw Obsidian's note above--yes, Obsidian, harsh, but it didn't have to come this far, as the history of Sebastian80 proves. Your knowledge was appreciated, but the way in which you shared it is not--it's partly a matter of trust. BTW, I could have a girlfriend too, you know, if my wife agreed to it. Drmies (talk) 19:23, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for that rant, Drmies. I didn't mean you specifically or any of the admins here. I'm just upset and frustrated. I'm going to go away and I'll be gone until the summer. By then, I hope that an unblock request with Sebastian80 will be considered. LAx33 (talk) 19:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine--no hard feelings. Maybe it will; more socking certainly won't help. All the best, and good luck with your snakes. May they slither and multiply. Drmies (talk) 00:39, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
