[edit] Your message on my user talk page

Hello and thank you for writing to me. I am not an admin so I don't have many of the lines of evidence available to them neither do I have access to checkuser evidence. All I can go on for Ducksofmercy (talk · contribs) is the visible (undeleted) edits and the incoming links to the user and user talk pages. While what I can see doesn't seem to be abusive, I do trust the sysops who have made the decision and that they must have good evidence in this case. The only thing that disturbs me is that the incoming links to the pages show no links from a checkuser case page, so any discussions must have taken place via email or on IRC- I should think it would be better that such things were done on-wiki so other editors can be sure all efforts were taken to avoid accusing an innocent editor. If you'd like me to pursue an appeal to a wider audience for your problem, it would pretty much be predicated on that single qualm of mine. Let me know how you wish to proceed. Thank you. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 13:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. You could state your case at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, but I'm not sure how far you'd get with that. The case has been reviewed and re-reviewed by several different trusted editors who all concur in the actions taken. While it is possible that involving a larger group of admins might help, I think it's probably unlikely to because I personally trust that the editors who have already commented have probably reached the correct conclusion. If it is the case that despite the evidence you have done nothing wrong; my apologies that you got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time- sometimes life just isn't very fair. Alternatively to (the probably futile gesture of) posting the case to WP:ANI, you could wait a few weeks then open a new account and edit from it following the rules. Creating a new account is not disallowed, so long as it's not used disruptively or to circumvent the rules. Sorry I can not offer better advice than this. Best wishes. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 15:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
