Request reason:
Hey Dennis, I am new to Wikipedia and I apologize that this happened, it was not my intention. My browser had the pw saved for KonstantineUO and logged on that first, but I had already been setting up the Vorspire account. As you can see here I am trying to not be illegitimate. As you can see here I added my first full page today: Ain't Them Bodies Saints which had nothing to do with the AfD discussion I was in before. I made a mistake and quickly realized it, was not my intention. Feel free to delete the KonstantineUO account fully. Please let me know, thank you. (I fought hard in the last discussion I was in [1], but now all my stuff is crossed out, kind of a bummer as I fought a good case in there. Not a big deal either way, live and learn. Thank you for the consideration Vorspire (talk) 03:24, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This unblock request is disingenuous.You have used two accounts in ways which were clearly intended to give the impression of being two different people, including even referring to the other account in the third person. You are lucky to have been blocked for so short a time. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:06, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hello Wiki Admins, I am the person represented by this alias (Vorspire) - which was an account created by Jordon Hodges during the initial campaign for the Sand Castles movie. Jordon has referred to this account in the third person because he knew he had created it for me. It has been a long time since the account was suspended and I only found out today when I Googled my own alias and this page appeared in the top results. Needless to say, it was a shock. I completely forgot this account was made for me (it was made with my knowledge). There was no absolute intention to break rules our part, I have been largely unaware of the contributions this account has made, but that is no excuse - ignorance is not an excuse. I am not directly affiliated with Oceanus Pictures, I am great friends with Jordon and he asked me if it would be okay to create an account on my behalf (since I was reluctant at first) and the plan was to allow me to proof read and correct any errors he made in any contributions. My alias is known mainly for development in computer games and website design, I do not hide my given name from the public and I do not bare any other alias' affiliated with this handle. Other than being a good friend of Jordon's, I am responsible for the production of the Sand Castles website, it was a gift from myself. I am not an executive of Oceanus Pictures, although I am very flattered to have been referred to as such. I don't really intend to create another account, but I would like to know if you can remove the "sock puppet" status from my account and restore it to a state in which Google will not turn it up on the first page of results. I am not appealing the ban, I am appealing against the publicity of this page. If you could find it within your good graces to lift the ban, I will make any appropriate changes to make sure the account isn't used for the suggested accusations, including renaming to my given name and making an effort to contribute (where necessary) in a positive way to the Wiki community from which I have learned so much. I understand if my request is rejected for any reason. If further evidence is required to prove my identity and separation from Jordon's account(s), and take over my account, please let me know and I shall post it as soon as possible. I can be contacted via e-mail at [email protected] if necessary. Regards, LG Archer P.S; Edit/Update; I have recently browsed through all of the contributions and comments made using my alias. I am not happy with how it has been used and will be resolving this issue with Jordon privately. In conclusion, I would like to change my above request to that of; please rename the offending account, or allow me to do so, so that it is no longer tied with myself. I am not the person responsible for any of the contributions or comments made and would like to rectify the fact that this violation is tied to my name. I completely agree with the facts and opinions put forward by the Wiki administrators in the cases this account has been involved with. Thank you for your time.
Decline reason:
I'm afraid that this account is compromised if you didn't make some of the edits it has made. Compromised accounts are usually not unblocked. Also, if this account was created by someone as part of a 'campaign', that suggests to me a promotional intent as well as sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. I'm afraid that what happens at Google isn't really any fault of ours. Peridon (talk) 20:40, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:
Thank you for your response, Peridon.
The fact of the matter is that I have never had access to this account and have not made a single post using it, so I made NONE of the edits it has made, let alone "some". My conduct is not in any way associated with this account, nor is my IP.
If Wiki doesn't care, Wiki doesn't care. I'll live with that. These appeals will stand in argument and testament to the misuse of my name.
Again, thank you for your response.
Decline reason:
If this account is not yours, you shouldn't be using it. Max Semenik (talk) 04:54, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

The above responses are a great example of Wiki's quantity over quality in administrators. Incapable of cross-referencing facts, let alone IP addresses, to verify simple statements before making redundant comments. Do they understand the definition of impersonation? Perhaps not. ...Whatever. We all have better things to do with our time, don't we?
