It has become apparent that your account is only being used for spamming inappropriate external links or self-promotion, so it has been blocked indefinitely. Wikipedia is NOT a "repository of links" or a "vehicle for advertising" and persistent spammers will also have their websites blacklisted.

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).

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

Request reason:

This user account is not andhownz, Reverendaquaman or AndHow Productions LTD, nor is this user account "spamming" and have only created this account to clean up the many radio station pages on Wikipedia, as there are a large number of radio related articles that are not valid and do not have references. WP:BITE This user saw where the user Hu12 had apparently vandalised WP:VANDAL some of these pages and we reversed those changes. As he did not edit any of the other articles or references on any of those pages, so apparently he had singled out that particular radio station purposely & is apparently "gaming the system". WP:CONFLICT, WP:GAME, WP:DISRUPT Please unblock this account to allow the opportunity to continue to edit peacefully. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Checkuser verified abuser of multiple accounts. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 03:55, 30 September 2012 (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.

Who are "we"? Max Semenik (talk) 21:11, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry "my" mistake, in my employment I refer to "we" a lot, as in the team that I work with, bad habit. Thanks for the heads up! Auburnsurfer (talk) 21:17, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Funny how you talk about "this account" in the third person as though you have lots of them. Combined with your familiarity with WP being greater than what I'd expect from a 23 edit user, I'd say this is a pretty obvious sock. MER-C 03:39, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
