Hello, I'm Boing! said Zebedee. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Portland, Oregon, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

It has been found that you have been using one or more accounts abusively, have edited logged out to avoid scrutiny or have recruited friends, family or coworkers who share your point of view to support you (see the meatpuppet policy for more information). Please review the policy on acceptable alternate accounts. In short, alternate accounts or people to support you should not be used for the purposes of deceiving others into seeing more support for your position. It is not acceptable to use two accounts on the same article, or the same topic area, unless they are publicly and plainly disclosed on both your and the other account's userpage.

Your other account(s) have been blocked indefinitely. This is your only warning. If you repeat this behaviour you will blocked from editing without further notice. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:12, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije What on earth are you going on about? I don't have other accounts. I don't know if this one has been hacked. After a period of lurking I registered with Wikipedia and made my first edits. And now I get accused all sorts of things! I don't who you are but you have really bad attitude for a service person! If this is the welcome new participants get, no wonder people don't come back. Portland29 (talk) 10:36, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about having multiple accounts, it's about recruiting friends, family or coworkers who share your point of view to support you at Talk:Full_Service_(book)#Proposed_merge_with_Scotty_Bowers. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't recruited anyone. This is a college computer.Portland29 (talk) 10:21, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
