[edit] Sock puppets

You can not go around making empty claims. What evidence do you have that proves that they are sock puppets? —Anas talk? 10:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I have scrutinized and examined the edit war over external links in the Austin Osman Spare article. I have to say that IPSOS was not right in reverting your edits. Links from such websites as Fortean Times are deprecated, especially when non-commercial authorized links are available. However, the way you reacted to his reversions wasn't appropriate; you should've discussed this in the talk page. Additionally, you can always contact an admin in such cases. I have found nothing in both, IPSOS and Buddhipriya's editing patterns, that proves one is the sock puppet of the other. They edit different articles and have rarely interacted. Just because Buddhipriya reported you to WP:AIV, that doesn't mean Buddhipriya is a sock puppet of IPSOS.
Your edit of IPSOS's user page, nevertheless, is vandalism, and you had to be blocked, not as a punishment, but to protect Wikipedia and its editors from potential harm. If you wish to contribute to the encyclopedia, I encourage you to register an account, familiarize yourself with our policies, and in the future try to edit constructively.

[edit] Mandrake Press

You may be able to cite the catalogue you have and even quote certain sentences under fair use. Wikipedia:Citation templates might prove helpful; you may also find additional parameters in every individual template (by clicking on the template name). As for evidence on the existence of the book, it would usually more acceptable if you can find a news article, dissertation, or conference report. I'm not so sure if the image would serve as reliable evidence.

As for including a list of published books, I wouldn't mind it, but I think it is a little inappropriate, and others may object. Most Wikipedia articles should consist of prose, and not just a list of links or objects. You might be able to mention a few of the major publications of Mandrake Press. All the best, Anas talk? 10:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
