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).

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

Request reason:

I am new to wikipedia. I see this Pastorwayne person has had a lot of trouble. I do not want to in anyway follow in his footsteps. Please guide me so that I can do things properly here. I am not sure why this block has happened. But tell me what I did to receive it (so I can stop doing that) and should do to reverse it (and avoid in the future).

Decline reason:

There looks like a good case here for your being a sockpuppet of Pastorwayne. Spartaz ^Humbug! 21:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Comment – I had already noted on Good Olfactory's talk page (heading - PW) that West Bishop is Pastor Wayne (similarity of edits - burials, UM bishops, creating and placing articles in categories, no edit summaries). Eg James Osgood Andrew has been edited by PastorWayne, Estherlois, Valleyforge1979, all PW socks (and user:72.69.200.51 who is another PW sock, previously undetected). There are also the deleted categories Category:Preacher's Kid and Category:Preacher's Kids which I understand were created by PW / West Bishop resp (as I am not an admin I cannot be sure of this).

Comment (blocker). What Occuli has outlined above was essentially my thinking in deciding that this was a sockpuppet of Pastorwayne. There are many similarities in the editing style and subjects of editing. Pastorwayne has used many different sockpuppets and each time they have been identified these same markers have showed up: early editing in category space and adding articles to categories; adding burial places to bio articles; editing articles about American Methodist clergy; lack of edit summaries; subdividing categories about American Christian clergy into finer and finer subcategories. And yes, I can confirm that Category:Preacher's Kid was created by Pastorwayne and Category:Preacher's kids was created by this user. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 21:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
