Blocked[edit]

I've blocked you from editing Wikipedia for disruption. CheckUser evidence would suggest that Poowe (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Lookie Louis (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are the same person. Since the main actions of these accounts have been to create a previously deleted article (by a banned user) and then nominate it for deletion, my feeling is that at the very least some childish game is being played and the very worst a petty attempt at harassment was happening.

You are, of course, able to appeal this block using {{unblock|your reason here}} and an independent admin will look into the matter and the thread at ANI. ➨ ❝ЯEDVERS❞ dedicated to making a happy man very old 10:32, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Talk about irony. I have a friend and colleague who has talked about Wikipedia several times, and we were discussing Lih's views versus The Cult of the Amateur. I created the page - look at it! it's hardly vandalism! - with the best of intentions. Turns out he created a separate account when he nominated it because of misunderstandings like this one and not wanting to get his normal account branded with a shared IP. He even told me he had a tongue in cheek reason about "a misguided admirer" when he "nominated" it for deletion.

Decline reason:

We do not normally accept the "my friend did it" excuse. Sandstein 22:03, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Did you even look at the article I had created? It was not vandalism. This was a case of a shared IP is all. As I said, an ironic one at that.

Decline reason:

Having read the AN thread and reviewed the banned-user edits I am declining, as I cannot be sure this situation is as represented. — Daniel Case (talk) 05:24, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody said it was vandalism. What we said was disruption, which is a different kettle of fish. ➲ redvers ^{sit down next to me} 22:12, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How is it disruptive to create a legitimate, sourced article about the author of an upcoming book? Lookie Louis (talk) 22:16, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't. The problem is - nobody believes your account above. It sure looks like you created the page and then nominated it for deletion yourself and that certainly is disruptive. Theresa Knott | token threats 09:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
