{unblock reviewed|1=I am not digitair, or whatever that is; I did not sign due a simple lack of understanding the protocol; I started signing when I was informed I should. I am not a sock puppet! The use of "do not delete" seems natural for more than one user since the others say "delete", or maybe digitar simply copied the code before writing his or her message; oops, forgot to sign, my apologies Jeff Schweitzer 14:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)|decline=Digitalr appears to be a meatpuppet at the very least, see WP:SOCK. On top of this, you have a blatant conflict of interest and have apparently violated copyright or at least, have copied content from other sources. — Yamla 15:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)}

The user User:Digitalr is clearly related to you in some way - do you know this person? They created their account within a week of when you created yours, and both of you seem to have an interest only in Jeff Schweitzer. Also, I note that Digitalr uploaded the picture you uploaded to commons, claiming the copyright as his (but then releasing it under GFDL as you had done). Can you explain this?

By the way, I had to delete Jeff Schweitzer as it was entirely a copyright violation from [1]. Wikipedia does not accept copyrighted contributions, unless you agree to release the copyright under the GFDL. But don't bother releasing the copyright if you own it: Wikipedia would not accept such a contribution anyway, as the consensus at the AfD shows. Mangojuicetalk 15:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I can now, since you told me that digtair uploaed my picture. That would be Digital Reliability, a company that manages some of my websites. I asked them to upload my photo for me, and they did so. I also asked them to "wikify" my entry, and they did. I have no relationship with them other than that, and did not know that "digitair" was digital reliability. I did not in any way influence their contribution to the "delete" debate - they have a right to support me if they wish. They are not a sock puppet, nor am I. They are independent of my opinions. I have NO idea what copyright violations you are talking about; I have not violated any copyright on my website. I have permission to post my appearances on CNN and Greg Mantell, if that is what you are talking about. I already agreed to release copyright under GFDL for all that I own. This has really become a personal attack rather than reasonable discussion. I have to move on to more productive endeavours. I wish you the best of luck.

Okay, you've explained things to my satisfaction and I'm willing to unblock both of you. The copyright issue I'm referring to is that the material on your website is copyrighted, but you posted it here without releasing it, at least, without releasing it in any way that could be verified. But like I said, even if you do release it, Wikipedia doesn't accept that kind of material anyway. As for your image, there was never really a problem with that.
