LGBT Politicians[edit]

Good article, but in serious need of some references methinks. Also how could you miss Chris Smith, Baron Smith of Finsbury? -- role^player 15:41, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry case[edit]

Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Marquis de la Eirron for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. 2 lines of K₃₀₃ 13:41, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

With regard to the sock puppet case, the articles that are mentioned are "The List of British Politicians who have crossed the Floor" and "List of Ethnic Minority British Politicians" are the articles I have created and spent a along time finding the politicians and putting their details etc into the article so I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to edit them. However with regard to the images I know I got it wrong before but when I went on Flicker it clearly states that it has some copywright which I assumed meant that you were able to use those pictures as I clearly gave reference to where I got those pictures from. Also the reason why I created the new account as Comte de Mountstuart is because I wanted a fresh start on wiki to show to people that I was able to edit without being perceived as disruptive but once again even though I don't mean to do it, I some how end up causing a storm with the pictures and so I think i'll just give up with trying to upload images as it just ends up as a failure and gets me in trouble. But my edits are never intended to be disruptive, I just try to help and if you look at the article that are heavily used by me and my IP then you can see all the work that I have put into my Wiki pages to make them more interesting to read but I promise you this I shall NEVER try and upload an image again as there is to much aggravation for my taste.

I have no comment to make on the one week sockpuppetry block. However finding suitable images to upload images from flickr is quite straightforward. Select the advanced search option, then click the checkbox for "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content". This will enable the two checkboxes underneath it ("Find content to use commercially" and "Find content to modify, adapt, or build upon"). Both of these need to be selected. Any images that come up following this search can be uploading to Wikipedia. If you are in doubt as to whether any image can be used on Wikipedia, you can always ask as Wikipedia:Media copyright questions prior to uploading it. 2 lines of K₃₀₃ 13:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

November 2010[edit]

This account has been indefinitely blocked because it is a sock puppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not.

If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 17:26, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

With regard to the sock puppet case, the articles that are mentioned are "The List of British Politicians who have crossed the Floor" and "List of Ethnic Minority British Politicians" are the articles I have created and spent a along time finding the politicians and putting their details etc into the article so I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to edit them using either of my profiles as its not affecting anyone else. However with regard to the images I know I got it wrong before but when I went on Flicker it clearly states that it has some copywright which I assumed meant that you were able to use those pictures as I clearly gave reference to where I got those pictures from. Also the reason why I created the new account as Comte de Mountstuart is because I wanted a fresh start on wiki to show to people that I was able to edit without being perceived as disruptive but once again even though I don't mean to do it, I some how end up causing a storm with the pictures and so I think i'll just give up with trying to upload images as it just ends up as a failure and gets me in trouble.

Decline reason:

The block on your other account will expire in due course, and there is no good reason for unblocking this one too. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:17, 25 November 2010 (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 request fixed. To any reviewing admin, in the event of this being successful I'm not sure whether it's best to unblock this sockpuppet account or the sockmaster account, we've sometimes given people the choice but I'm not sure there's any hard and fast rule. 2 lines of K₃₀₃ 14:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand how its a sockpuppet account when the wiki pages I was editing where the ones that I had created as its not like I was changing random articles I was changing ones that were mine or those that I knew to incorrect etc

Request reason:

'This is the account that I want as the Marquis de la Eirron is set to be unblocked today but I really don't want that one anymore as I prefer the Comte account as under this one I have created articles so I was wondering whether this one could also be unblocked whilst the Marquis is deleted as I do not use it anymore?'

Decline reason:

The other one has the longer block log, so you will need to use that one. Otherwise you'd be evading scrutiny for your previous actions, which is how multiple accounts may not be used. Sandstein 17:58, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
