FDR

February 2015

You have been blocked indefinitely from changing Wikipedia in line with Wikipedia's blocking policy for Sock Puppetry. If you think this block is unfair, you may ask to be unblocked by adding {{unblock|your reason here}} below. If you cannot do this or the reason is private, please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. You may want to read our guide to unblock requests before asking to be unblocked. DJSasso (talk) 18:07, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators said no to this unblock request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not unblock the user without a good reason. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

I wanted a clean start to separate myself from the old FDR account so I started an account called NewCleanStart. I also edited from an ip address when I didn't want to take the time to log in. I've also logged into an old account I used to have RJR3333 that I stopped using. I've never been disruptive here. I will agree to only edit from one account.

Decline reason:

With this edit, you violated the block and circumvented it by editing with an IP address. This shows that you do not respect the rules here, so I see no reason to unblock. If you have any further communication, do it while logged in as FDR and not under any other account or IP address. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:55, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:

I respect simple English wikipedia's rules. I will not use my ip address to post. I did not edit any articles at all during the ban, I only contacted a user because I thought my request was being ignored and he didn't have an email feature.I will respect all rules and not edit while banned, this will include that I do not edit talk pages of other users. I did not realize that was as bad as editing articles. I will not. Now that I've shown respect for rules can I be unblocked. I only used one of the other accounts I had here to edit and I only edited from it three times. I mainly stuck with the FDR account, and multiple accounts are allowed sometimes, for example if you are editing articles from one account that are controversial in your circle of associates. I think they're mainly banned when you have a good hand account and a bad hand account, or when they are used to make it look like multiple users support change that really only one user supports.

Decline reason:

For the reasons listed by Djsasso below I do not see any reason to undo the block. If we overlook the multiple accounts the point for WP:ONESTRIKE is the other reason I will not overturn the block. -- Enfcer (talk) 13:28, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

You are also not allowed to use both accounts in the same topic area. You used them both on the same page, nevermind topic area and within a very short amount of time. Considering you are also blocked on en.wiki for the same thing it would also be a violation of WP:ONESTRIKE. That being said it is my block so I can't close your request either way. -DJSasso (talk) 14:47, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I will agree to only edit from one account then. --FDR (talk) 15:16, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

The 6 month standard offer you refer to I believe is an En.wiki standard, but as with all indefinite blocks you are entitled to request a review of them periodically. But you already have at least 2 accounts, and have used IP addresses to bypass block. Feel free in 6 months to bring this up for review, but for now you have been blocked from editing as a sock puppet and will need to wait your time for access to be restored. -- Enfcer (talk) 19:57, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Certainly not helping your case by socking yet again. -DJSasso (talk) 13:07, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

If I left simple English wikipedia alone for 6 months truly, is it possible for me to come back? Do I have to edit another wiki during my break? Is there any problem with my edits other than socking?--FDR (talk) 19:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Invitation

Thank you for using VisualEditor and sharing your ideas with the developers.

Hello, FDR,

The Editing team is asking very experienced editors like you for your help with VisualEditor. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too. 

You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.

More information (including a translateable list of the questions) is posted on wiki at mw:VisualEditor/Survey 2015. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the survey's talk page.

Reply to your email

I got your email. I don't know what was deleted from WP:Requests for checkuser. I didn't do the deleting, and I'm not able to look at what was deleted.

As far as you requesting an unblock in six months, there are no hard and fast rules. Normally, it would take at least two things. One is not editing here during that time -- not under a registered account, not under any IP address. The other is convincing an admin that you understand what you did wrong, that you won't do it again, and that you will be a "good citizen" and respect the rules and procedures here. In your case, it might well take more: that would be up to the admin reviewing the request. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

FDR, as far as I can tell, you are still able to edit your talk page. Please reply here instead of emailing, and I will answer you. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:42, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Is there anything wrong with my edits other than the fact I was socking? You said in my case I might need to do more than leave Basic English wikipedia alone for 6 months. Would that mean that I need to edit on another language's wikipedia like the Irish language one for example, and make good edits for 6 months? Or did you mean something else by more?--FDR (talk) 17:54, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Right now I can't answer about what else might have been wrong with your edits, because I don't have time to look at the edits from all the different accounts you used. As far as your other question, as I said before, there are no hard and fast rules and it's up to whichever administrator reviews the unblock request. More might be needed in your case than most because of the extent of your misbehavior, but what that would be is up to the administrator who does the review. Some might look at what you've done on other Wikimedia projects, but others might not. Some would entertain the request after six months, but some might want more time to go by. Some might approve an unblock request outright, some might decline it, and some might approve it with restrictions. There could be other things: I can't give you a definitive list. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:59, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

The fact that you have created other socks does not go well for a speedy removal of your block in my opinion. As I have listed above in an earlier section, feel free in 6 months to bring this for review. The 6 months may be something done on en.wiki, but we are not them, and like Auntof6 said, its all dependent on the admin who reviews it, but my suggestion, is wait for at least 6 months, review why you had gotten blocked in the first place, and learn from those mistakes, express that when you come back for your unblock review. -- Enfcer (talk) 21:39, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

May I use my talk page as a sandbox to practice editing so that I do a better job when I come back?--FDR (talk) 17:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

No. That is not the purpose of a talk page. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:18, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

I found another wikipedia, in Scots, which is another dialect of English, to edit. I'm posting what I'm working on here so that in 6 months they can see how I'm doing there as part of the WP:Offer.[1] --FDR (talk) 21:34, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

[2] That's another wikipedia I'm still editing, the Irish wikipedia. So in 6 months you can look at what I've done there to see if I've improved.--FDR (talk) 20:34, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Please don't keep posting about where you're editing. That will just annoy people. If/when you request an unblock, you can give us that information then. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:29, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

If/when I request an unblock, I'd rather edit under the screen name PaulBustion87 than FDR, because that's my name and year of birth. So I think that would be more socially normal than editing under the screen name FDR since I'm not President Roosevelt II, so if/when I do request an unblock could I do it from that account? Also if I have future questions related to this to to ask, could I in the future do that under that talk page instead of this one? I understand that I would need to stop using this account and talk page if that was allowed. --FDR (talk) 18:29, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called FDR. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name FDR~simplewiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Flyer22 has come here to pursue her criticism against me, in my view.

Note here, [3], the similarity in writing style between Flyer22 and the new poster criticizing me. [4] And at 22:44 on April 7 on English wikipedia she was editing the pedophilia article's talk page. At 22:34 on April 7 here she was criticizing me. [5] That's only 10 minutes difference. Flyer22 edited similar topic areas to the ones 72.203.170.176 edits. In fact, she edited all of those topic areas, you can check on English wikipedia for yourself. She has edited the pedophilia and statutory rape articles. She also heavily edited the hebephilia article. In addition, She also had a similar criticism of me as a sloppy editor, which I concede that at the time was valid, but on simple English wikipedia has improved significantly. Flyer22 also linked to other wikipedia page changes in a similar way to the way this ip does. I'm just saying the possibility its her should be taken into account because she is prejudiced against me from dealing with in the past. Its sort of similar to how when I went to college I took financial accounting with a teacher and had to drop out of her class in mid-term because I was sick, and she regarded me as a dunce because the first time I took her class I would talk off topic stuff like Freemasonry, the second time I took her class I did not do that, but she still remembered from the first time and it was impossible to erase her view of me as a dunce. I think this is a similar case. I think people easily develop prejudices when they should not. --FDR (talk) 09:05, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

FDR, I strongly advise you to stay away until you are ready to request an unblock. It is not appropriate to use your talk page to initiate contact with other editors, no matter what you see going on. That will be taken into account when reviewing any unblock request you make. If you continue using your talk page this way, you will lose your talk page access. The only thing you should be using your talk page for is to reply to messages left for you or to request an unblock. --Auntof6 (talk) 11:15, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Ok, could I delete my comments then? I did not know about that rule.I apologize. --FDR (talk) 11:23, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

I didn't object when you removed a couple of innocuous comments, but don't blank the whole page. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:28, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Your email to the admins' mailing list

We received the email where you asked for something to be removed from an article. The administrators mailing list is not to be used to request article edits that you would be able to make yourself if you were not blocked. Each time you do something like that, you make it less likely that admins will be willing to unblock you as soon as you would like. It would be best if you just stay away until you are ready to ask for an unblock. If you are reading here and find things you think need changing, you can keep an offline list of them. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:18, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Is there any means by which I am allowed to contact other users to recommend obvious changes, or is it not allowed through any means?--FDR (talk) 02:39, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

You should not be concerning yourself with any content here. Your activity here should be limited to reading. In fact, the next time you do anything here other than request an unblock at the appropriate time, your talk page access and use of the email function will be removed. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:04, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

As promised, I have removed your ability to send email and change your own talk page. If/when you are ready to request an unblock, you will have to email the admins' mailing list directly. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:00, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
