User talk:Radiomango

Please be nice. If you have a question, ask me first instead of assuming the worst or writing something nasty. Radiomango (talk) 19:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Todd Mitchell Palin

Sidestepping the protection placed on Todd Palin by creating an article at a slightly different title is inappropriate, and I would suggest you refrain from doing so again in the future. When you encounter an article that you cannot edit due to protection, the appropriate course of action is to discuss the matter, either at the article's talk page or at requests for page unprotection. Creating an article at a slightly different title may be viewed as gaming the system and could be viewed as disruptive, so again, the next time you encounter this kind of situation, please address it through the proper venues.

I didn't do anything with a bad intent. I simply typed in the name and it gave me instructions on how to start an article. Radiomango (talk) 20:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, which is why I carefully worded the above as advice rather than a warning - just be careful in the future because sometimes other editors can be quick to make assumptions about your intent. Shereth 20:23, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References

Just as a heads up, you might want to preview changes before you save them. A couple of edits you've made at Todd Palin have been breaking some of the references and causing error messages to appear at the bottom of the page. Shereth 22:23, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied to your question on my talk page. Cheers, Shereth 22:34, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of Oprahwasontv (talk · contribs · global contribs · page moves · user creation · block log). Blocked or banned users are not allowed to edit Wikipedia; if you are banned, all edits under this account may be reverted.

Details of how to appeal a block can be found at: Wikipedia:Appealing a block.

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).

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

Request reason:

I am being blocked on orders of Tvoz, who opposes an article I created and wants it deleted so what better way then to stamp out the opposition. The reason I am block is for being this Oprahwasontv was is supposed to be Dereks1x. That's a convenient fabricated excuse. Look here..http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_checkuser%2FCase%2FDereks1x&diff=150245668&oldid=144850707 proves Oprahwasontv is not Derek.

If Oprah was, then he/she would have started to write about John Edwards, the reason Derek was banned. Now look at Oprahwasontv and me. No common articles. So even if we are socks, this is permitted by policy. Now here's proof we are not....http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AOprahwasontv&diff=234652292&oldid=234651385 Oprah has limited edits which make it easy to review. There's a section on Obama's political image. That means all images, not just positive campaign propaganga. Oprah wrote that Obama is considered by some to be inexperienced in foreign affairs but this is helped by choosing Biden then uses as references the Associated Press, CNN, Time Magazine. I have no interest in politics but this sounds fairly reasonable. The admin is saying Oprah is blocked because that edit is anti-Obama (which it's not) and even if the checkuser proves innocence he declares that they are the same. Now Alison is saying I am Oprah and therefore, must be Derek, but I am neither and she doesn't say I am Derek. The link is that Tvoz was anti-Oprah so this shows Tvoz is manipulating Wikipedia using sock hysteria to block opposition. This is wrong.
Now look at my edits. It's just about this cool dude in the news. He's not political just has a Republican wife. Tvoz wants all even neutral material on Republicans eliminated and all of those editors banned.

So the reasons for unblock are clear. My edits are good. I am also checkuser proven not to be Derek because Oprahwasontv is not Derek. Behavioral-wise it a third proof, I have no interest to edit on John Edwards, which is Derek's problem

Please include a decline or accept reason.

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.

Mbbinz, fine. Just leave it here. This process is remarkably flawed. Those who want to deny it should leave this in place for a day. Otherwise admin who are opposed to any unblock can just clear the board and deny requests. Ask yourself...have you ever unblocked someone from this board. If so, there's a potential to be fair. If you never have, this is potentially discriminatory.

According to my records, I've unblocked 68 users. MBisanz ^talk 01:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Make this 69 then. The fact is very clear. I am not Oprah. Even if you don't believe it, Oprah and I have no common article edits so the sock policy permits it. There is no checkuser linking me to this Derek. Oprah is not Derek per the checkuser and is non-partisan, unlike Derek so behaviorally is different. The only similarity is that Tvoz, a very partisan editor, opposes anyone who doesn't edit like him. Radiomango (talk) 02:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've received an email from Radiomango, my unblock request decline remains, further admin review is welcome on this confirmed checkuser block. MBisanz ^talk 02:11, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I already ran it -- it "felt" familiar to me. If it is an Internet cafe, it's the same one Oprahwasontv was on a couple days earlier, but there are also a couple of unsuspicious-looking users there too. So, I dunno. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 19:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC) Maybe we should ask the user to log on on her other account? Also, why aren't you on IRC? Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 19:04, 29 August 2008 (UTC) Ok. I think, either way, that we ought to unblock here. This may be a sockpuppet of someone but their edits have been entirely innocuous, and we have only vague suspicions to support the block. Also, I get the sense that this isn't Dereks1x; this user doesn't seem nearly as familiar with Wikipedia as a Dereks1x sock would be. Mangojuicetalk 19:11, 29 August 2008 (UTC) Also, I'm sure that if the suspected connection between Begin2009 and User:Mynamewasloki was true, jpgordon would have just now confirmed it. Mangojuicetalk 19:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Also note that Oprahwasontv and I never edit the same articles so WP:SOCK is not violated. Add to that, I am not Oprahwasontv.

My edits are all well referenced and good. I am being banned just because of the complaint of Tvoz, who is violently anti-Republican and one article I wrote has a remote connection to a Republican. This is proof of POV of Tvoz and persecution. Radiomango (talk) 02:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I'm not overly impressed with your email threats against her, stating where she lives - Alison ^❤ 02:25, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She threatened me. Alison, your logic is flawed. Oprah and I have no common edits so that's reason for unblock. If I were so technically cunning, I would not need to beg for unblock. Radiomango (talk) 02:30, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The emailed threats are adequate for blocking, anyway. I've disabled email on this account and am protecting this page. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 02:32, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On 4 September, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Todd Palin, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I thank you for your wording on the hook which inspired me to write a companion article to fill out the rest of the hook. Too bad you were allegedly doing something so wrong with this sockpuppet account. --Royal broil 01:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
