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).

Request reason:

Hey, I've been blocked from editing for some time for suspected sock puppetry, and though I am not a sock puppet but rather a real human being with exclusive access to this and only this account, I have been thwarted in several attempts to unblock myself. Being blocked is a real annoyance whenever I try to edit an article and find I cannot. I hope that putting this here will help to unblock me. Thanks.

Decline reason:

If you were not a sockpuppet, then you were clearly a meatpuppet. We handle these the same way. — Smashville^talk 06:14, 28 December 2008 (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.

{unblock|1=I apologize and I would like to clarify my appeal. I now understand what "meatpuppet" means and I confess that at the time, I was one, as I had created my account specifically to lend a hand to a friend. But that was nearly two and a half years ago and I think that, since then, I have learned my lesson and I would like to become a contributing member of Wikipedia. Thanks for considering my unblock again. }

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Because the blocking admin appears to be inactive, I have unilaterally unblocked this account and welcome you back to editing Wikipedia.

I endorse the unblock per his second request. Tobobo, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. --Smashville^talk 18:44, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there

Hello, tobobo. What an interesting usertalk page you have. Although I do agree that being a "meatpuppet" is a possible threat and has some merit, this is kind of silly. And the fact that the blocking admin went inactive is particularly amusing. Anyways, hooray for coincidences and more people that I actually know writing on my user talk.
