Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. If this is an IP address, and it is shared by multiple users, ignore this warning if you did not make any unconstructive edits. MER-C 06:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to remove content from pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - TexasAndroid 21:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia because of disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy will not be tolerated. - TexasAndroid 21:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock

Texasandriod, please unblock me. No more vandalism will occur. Blocks are not supposed to be punitive. 172.162.129.51 21:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

BTW: If someone was vandalizing your talk page, why did you not just block it? Seems easier than blocking hundreds of victims of collateral damage? 172.162.129.51 22:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Note to whoever reviews the unblock request. There should be no collateral damage. The only edits from this IP are vandalism, often blankings of my talk page. And only anonymous IPs are blocked. If there are any registered users using this IP they shold be able to edit just fine despite it.
As for the vandal's comments to me, I have indeed semi-protected my talk page several times because of the waste of time from this vandal's blankings, which are often from AOL IP addresses. I would prefer not to semi-protect my talk page, since as an admin I would prefer to stay able to be contacted by any user, including anons or newer accounts. This time, he's not on an AOL IP, at least not one that shows in the AOL IP list on the block page, so I was able to block him directly. And since the blankings have stopped, the block appears to have been quite effective. - TexasAndroid 23:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "collateral damage"

Decline reason: "You are being blocked directly, please wait for the block to expire, thanks.--WinHunter (talk) 04:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - TexasAndroid 20:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Lucille Ball, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Specter01010 02:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User (172.162.129.51) comment on User talk:Specter01010

AOL uses a wide range of IP addresses, and such that many people may either use that IP address to vandalize or help Wikipedia articles. I am required to leave vandalism warnings, since this IP address has conducted some act of vandalism. So, I ask that anyone who shares this IP address to register as quickly as possible to prevent any frustrations with vandalism that might arise in the future.

[edit] Block

How long will I be blocked? I will be more careful in the future. 172.162.129.51 21:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

The current block is for a week, and once that one expires, if you continue to vandalize the Lucille Ball article and/or blank user talk pages, with this IP address or any of your accounts, the blocks will continue to get longer. - TexasAndroid 21:33, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there any way to get te length of the block reduced?
You are welcome to appeal for an independant evaluation by another admin. As far as I am concerned, I have been slowly increasing the block lengths so far, and they have failed to stop you from vandalizing as soon as the blocks expire. So, no, I myself have no inclination to shorten the blocks at this point. - TexasAndroid 21:47, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I can give you my word that I will be much more careful when editing. Also, would you be so kind as to take down that message on my user page saying that I am a sock puppet. That will hurt my credibility as an editor. As I understand, I am not allowed to delete it. Is that correct?
It's not a matter of being careful or not. Blanking people's talk pages over and over and over is not a matter of being careful or not. Repeatedly pushing a version of the Lucille Ball‎ article that denies that she is dead is not a matter of being careful or not. Creating multiple sock-puppet accounts to avoid the blocks and continue your campaign of vandalism is not a matter of being careful or not.
At the moment you have zero credibility as an editor, and a full reputation as a unrepentant vandal. You really have no credibility left to hurt.
It's not impossible to have a vandal reform. If you are truely interested in positively contributing to the project, then you will need to do some things. First, you need to stop the vandalism. On this IP, or with any of the accounts you've been creating. Just stop it. Stop blanking user/talk pages, stop pushing you vandalistic version of the Lucille Ball‎ page. Just stop.
Your block on this IP will expire in a few days. At that point, just start editing in a positive way. I'm very skeptical on your sincerity about reforming, but vandals have reformed in the past. - TexasAndroid 22:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I apologize, but I was really under the impression that she is still alive. However, I will check my sources more careully in the future. You did not answer my question: How to I go about getting that sock puppet tag removed? 172.162.129.51 03:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


Color me skeptical, given how many times you were reverted, by people saying you were wrong, and how you responded to so many of them by attacking their talk pages.
But that all aside, in a way I did answer your question. Step one to building a new reputation (and making the label unneeded) is to stop the vandalism totally. Wait out the current block on this IP. Then create a single new account and begin to edit productively. Do *not* vandalize any more, on any account. Put those all together, and you will in essence have a clean slate on the new account, and no reason for the admins to track you down in that account. Unless you have a past on the project I am not aware of, you are not a banned user, just a current vandal/annoyance. So the admins would have no reason to go fishing for a new account, assuming that the vandalism has stopped. - TexasAndroid 12:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Ok, that is what I will do then. Thank you. 172.162.129.51 02:13, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, fine. But won't this eventually come back to haunt me? What is if decide to become an administrator?172.162.129.51 02:41, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
