AS Roma

I put the section "Colours and badge" back on AS Roma ... ciao --Gaúcho 11:31, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Soprani... are you Italian? Well, first of all, I have never seen written "Rome, Lazio", all the world knows what is Rome and there is no reason in specifying the region, this is not Rome, Maine, this is just Rome.

Then, why have you deleted the numbers of the "runners-up" titles? I think that they are useful... and finally, why the international records? They should stay there...

Waiting your answer... bye --Gaúcho 19:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Perhaps you didn't read this: Template talk:AS Roma... bye --Gaúcho 19:11, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

my user page

Hi and thanks. I didn't even notice that the page had been vandalised a few days ago — it was again today and I saw your revert. Best wishes, Jack Merridew 07:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Buon giorno!

Buon giorno, my new friend Soprani! :) Please, don't mention it, it's my greatest pleasure to see you liked the design, and you so perfectly adapted it yourself, and witha beautiful color scheme to boot. This is a perfect excuse to wish you a very happy week, and to invite you to drop by my talk page any time you need a little help, or if you just feel like talking. Enjoy! :) Love, Phaedriel - 09:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Gibraltar national football team

Nice work. -- Chris B • talk 17:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

A.S. Roma

Yes I'll review it when I have some time tomorrow thanks NapHit 18:59, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Coppa delle Coppe

The Ottorino Barassi Cup was a official trophy (in my ticket for the match there is the UEFA Logo); UEFA not organise this Trophy, but patrocined !! The same argumentation for Alpes Cup (I'm sure for first edition)

The Armando Picchi Supertrophy was a official competition by FIGC (8 team partecipated in two groups, semifinal and final in Rome). Font: the locandine manifestation are FIGC Logo. Toshiro70 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.220.71.152 (talk) 12:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

PD-Italy

Just to let you know PD-Italy is not valid under US law, so the template you used on Image:HelgeBronee.jpg is actually invalid. You are requested to write a valid fair use rationale for all of the pictures you uploaded under this license, otherwise I might be forced to delete it in compliance with WP:NONFREE. Thanks. --Angelo 19:28, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

But were they on public domain as of 1996? Both things must happen in order for these pictures to be considered as public domain. --Angelo 19:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

In this case, please explain it into the image description, citing the approximate date when the pictures were taken (I just saw you similarly uploaded a number of other pictures), in order to avoid confusion. Thanks. --Angelo 19:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

BBC World Service

Have you read the article on the BBC World Service --Philip Baird Shearer 00:49, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

National Action

It is true that Malta Today is a leftist newspaper, but it's not the only newspaper to describe the party as "far-right", as evident by the citations. So mentioning "Malta Today" in the article can be misleading, making it seem that it's the only newspaper to have described them as such. By the way it's best we keep the discussion on the talk page of the article so other people can see what's going on too. Marcus1234 05:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Userpage design

Hey, love the userpage design. Mind if I use it for my own? I'd be sure to give credit to yourself and the original designer! Thanks. Sicilianmandolin 08:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Reverting edits

If you revert another user's edits, as you have done at Libero and Four-wheel drive in Formula One it is advisable to always give an edit summary to explain why you are doing this. If not, there is a chance your edits may be seen as vandalism. Thanks --Pak21 18:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Exactly which edit are you referring to? Both this one and this one have edit summaries. You should also read MOS:DAB about the style to be used in disambiguation pages; your recent edits do not make it clear from the link title, as is desired, what the first link refers to. --Pak21 18:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Libero

I honestly don't understand what the issue you're making here is. You're replacing it with a piped link when that's not necessary. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. As for "football" vs "soccer", the libero page will be read by a worldwide audience, so what harm is there in using a form of words which will be recognised by everybody? --Pak21 18:41, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

On a technical note, the load on the system due to a redirect is completely insignificant; even the load caused by going through a redirect a large number of times is much less than that caused by an edit, so that isn't a reason for using one form or another. On the content issue, another editor has now reverted your change, so I consider this one closed unless you want to bring it up elsewhere. Thanks for adding the Italian meaning, as that was an important point not mentioned on the page. --Pak21 18:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I would like to draw your attention to WP:MOSDAB#Piping, Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, and Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. The reason Libero (soccer) exists is to circumvent the necessity of pipelinking on the disambiguation page, while clarifying which version of "football" is being linked to. --DeLarge 18:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Cut and paste moves

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy and paste page move from Partenope to Partenope (opera). Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. In case you want an idea of the amount of work needed to repair such a move:

1. 13:33, 22 October 2007 Lucasbfr restored "Partenope (opera)" ‎ (15 revision(s) restored: cut and paste)
2. 13:33, 22 October 2007 Lucasbfr deleted "Partenope (opera)" ‎ (CSD G6: Housekeeping)
3. 13:33, 22 October 2007 Lucasbfr moved Partenope (opera) to Partenope over redirect ‎ (cut and paste)
4. 13:32, 22 October 2007 Lucasbfr restored "Partenope (opera)" ‎ (11 revision(s) restored: cut and paste)
5. 13:32, 22 October 2007 Lucasbfr deleted "Partenope (opera)" ‎ (CSD G6: Housekeeping)
6. 13:31, 22 October 2007 Lucasbfr moved Partenope to Partenope (opera) ‎ (cut and paste repair)

Blocked

You are clearly the abusive vandal and sockpuppeteer, Daddy Kindsoul (talk · contribs), and have been blocked indefinitely. You know better. --Yamla 15:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Show evidence, shared areas of editing? After going on his page it shows he was blocked for going on and USA bands page. I have not, 99% of my edits are on Italian football, if you cannot show evidence from a sock check between them, then you have no evidence. - Soprani 18:11, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

remain calm

Remain calm. I'll watch this page. Tell me what has happened in a clear and unbiased way. If you did something that wasn't permitted or wasn't in the best judgement, being upfront is better. I can always be contacted by e-mail if you don't spam me. My specialty is understanding and reducing anger. Anger is ok. Uncontrolled anger isn't. Uetz 18:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

It is being seen to on the admin board now and it seems other users have a problem with the reversion of all my work... I'm clam, I am just busy compling my own sockpuppet case against Yamla at the moment. :) - Soprani 18:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Retaliation can eat up your soul. Focus on yourself. How did someone accuse you of sockpuppetry? Any truth to the accusation? If you didn't do it, what caused them to attack you? Just a random attack on you is possible but not a common occurance. Since Yamla is an admin, any sockpuppetry case you bring will likely be unsuccessful and just build up anger within yourself. Uetz 19:02, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

The clown claims that i was another user, based only on the fact that i go to italian football articles (like many others on Wikipedia). infact he is using that shallow basis in his claims against me on this[1] and calling it "evidence" in an attempt to twist the arbitrator... what he neglects to mention in his "evidence" is that i have never been on the article which that other user was banned for editing (about a USA band), showing that i do not edit as that user. You can check this in the article history.[2]

Yamla has a history of "block first, think later" tactics on Wikipedia, so here you see him banning me without even doing a check user first. Did you know that this same clown once banned the entire country of Qatar from editing Wikipedia?[3][4] that is over 840,000 people who he has a history of banning wrongly, infamous. Yet somehow, the powers of be let this..... person, retain sysop controls, which he is using wrongly in a reckless way to this day? Shocking. - Soprani 03:36, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It should also be of note that the clown has tagged many of the anti-vandaler sockpuppets I created yesterday, to combat Yamla's trollish edits which the community had deemed harmful or destructive to the project[5][6] as "sockpuppets of Daddy Kindsouls" but infact, the ones yesterday are only openly admitted[7] sockpuppets of me (Soprani).... he seems to be very confused and still cannot prove that I am that user. In some senses I can pity him, because he does not know what he has done. But its about time that this stupid block be removed. - Soprani 10:35, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

A sockpuppetry case against me will be unsuccessful because I have no sockpuppets (abusive or otherwise), not because I am an admin. If you have firm evidence that I do run abusive sockpuppets, I encourage you to post the evidence and would be willing to unblock this account on the condition that you use the unblock solely to present the case. Almost certainly, other admins would be willing to unblock you on the same conditions so you are certainly not relying on me here. Just to be clear here, if any admin, including myself, is using abusive sockpuppet accounts, they should be reported. I state categorically for the record that I have no other accounts on the Wikipedia but of course if you have reason to believe I am lying, you should state your case. --Yamla 19:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Checkuser came back as very likely. This user is using an ISP which regularly hands out new IP addresses and thus it was all but impossible to be certain. We know this because this vandal has been able to continue setting up more abusive sockpuppet accounts to continue violating the ban. Anyway, this puts the matter to rest. --Yamla 22:18, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

"Likely" is not good enough , it can't be proven or "Confirmed" because I don't have the same IP as that person, because Im not them. It would be 'put to rest' if it was confirmed, but this isn't. A test was done, and the facts of the event is: you could not come back with infaliable proof of a connection. so your block is invalid, lacks proof and so i am in my right to continue contributing infos.

When considering the typed out 'evidence' [lies, attacks and propaganda] by you over there to try and twist the arm of the arbitrator[8] and the consideration that my counter-evidence was covered up[9] it can be easy to see how, lacking any proof of same IPs (which is how to confirm these situations), that is how based on opinion of your propaganda not actual proof that this conculsion has been made.

Currently you will see that I am compling a strong evidence for your trolling and misuse/wrecklessness of your actions (such as page protection, article deletion, creation protection, image deletion, blockings without confirmation, more) This is to do with the fact that still, days after your orginal mass deletion of 100s of articles, something that the community deemed as "troll like", "distructive", "counter-productive", "deletion of valuable content" and many other adjective to describe your insect like actions,[10][11] you still continue to delete articles which are used in high importance places like A.S. Roma article (Stadio del Partito Nazionale Fascista, A.S. Roma statistics, Serie A scandal), you continue to pathetically remove valid content. You also claim that I am a 'vandal', despite the fact that as my contributions show Soprani (talk · contribs) only months of work and valid article creations, not what is described in 'vandalism', so you will stop this slur.

So all we see here is, you tried to go out of your way to f**k with a writer, you deleted hundreds of valuable articles, the community involved in them derided you for it, despite that you continued your actions days later when some were restored, you went to seek proof to back up your block (which everything for you hung on).. and when it came back, the results were not confirmed or proven. So we see, you were wrong and you will not get to push away somebody from here who is just interested in making articles better on football and others (something the community has agreed is valuable).[12][13]

Into extra time and its Soprani, he scores! 1-0, Yamla is left on his ass with no proof and no conviction to back up or try to trollishly "defeat" or "invalidate" Soprani. - Soprani

Post-check user unblock

This user was determined to be "very likely" a sockpuppet of Daddy Kindsoul (talk · contribs). If you are unsure why this would be "very likely" instead of "confirmed", please contact me. Note also that this user has set up over thirty sockpuppet accounts and here is threatening to continue ("I will continue to do this documents[sic] on lots of different accounts"). --Yamla 23:30, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

So you saying, I was not confirmed as that user, I was not proven as that user Daddy Kindsoul? Thats the facts. If I was him, I would have been confirmed or proven; yet this evidence does not exist because I'm not.

Over the last few days I created sock puppets, this is true... they were put on to reinstate articles, templates, free images and other stuff which the community viewed as valuable,[14][15] that you went on an abusive campaign to erase from Wikipedia.[16] We are talking hundreds of articles, images, templates built up over months, and lots of valuable content edits, which were just in a flick of a switch, purged by you, even though you had no basis and enitrely everybody involved in projects relating to them viewed your deletions as trollish.[17][18] In addition to your lack of consensus to remove all of those hundreds of things, you also were removing stuff by a writer who you had not (and still are unable to) proven by fact to be somebody else. I think I was right to make those ones, to try and stop what you were doing to our football articles, its called damage control and benifited the articles (see;Wikipedia:Ignore all rules).

But what does this have to do with me going on, as I do for the months I've come here contributing valuable information with this account to Italian football? There is no evidence in my contributions to show any vandalism or such acts (ask other people on the Football Project). All I am saying is, regardless of if you unjustly keep me blocked (without any proof) or if you just let me go on in peace, I'm here to stay... Im not been pushed away because of you. What is good for the project is if I'm allowed to go on building documents with the other users in that field, as I have before in peace.. where is the harm in all of this? My desires for the project are not negative. - Soprani 23:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Your creation of other sockpuppets to revert articles and Talk pages back to your versions after your block is blockable, in and of itself. Corvus cornix 23:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

It is not the case that a "confirm" is guaranteed in the case of sockpuppets. If so, the checkuser results would always be "confirm" or "unrelated". Many ISPs issue revolving IP addresses and we already knew this was the case for you because you have been able to set up numerous abusive sockpuppets while blocked. In this case, there was essentially no way for a "confirm" result given that we know you have used about 30 different IP addresses, give or take. What we do know is that you are using the same ISP in the same geographic location. That after we found sufficient evidence without this to indicate that you were Daddy Kindsoul (talk · contribs). --Yamla 23:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't know about ISPs, IPs, all of this garbage. All i know is that i am not that person, so i know my IP is not his one. It is not impossible to prove one way or another, you can either prove something or you can't: simple. In this case, we see that it was unable to confirm so when you put a stupid tag on my page thats says "Soprani is a sockpuppet of Diddy Kindsoul" then you are doing so without infalible proof, if "Soprani" was a document in Wikipedia, a claim like that would get removed, because its unproven. So as it stands this is a block, when there is no confirmation of your accusation.

As for Mr. Z-man's comment on "uncivil comments" on this page, all i said is true: this is why i put links of them to prove so, follow them up and they will attest. If you had been f****ed with like i have here this week for no reason at all, when out of my 3,000 or so contributions non of which are vandalism all of them are geniune edits to improve this thing (that is even the consensus of the people who work with me, see the talk of Wikipedia:WikiProject Football, and all this was purged and you were blocked with no proof, then you would be extremely agitated too. How do you expect me to reply, when ive been mistreated like THIS! ridiculous!

As i said anyway, when certain wreckless people are not trying to f**k with me. I enjoy contributing and building documents here to make Wikipedia the best source for football on the net. Regardless of if i'm unblocked (as i rightly should be) or not, i will not go so what is your point? You will rather trollishly continue to remove contributions that are perfectly reasonable, valuable, while i will re-add with sockpuppets that are actually me??? (note this is not considered vandalism by Wikipedia:Vandalism) you would prefer a continuation of the last few days of inantey (a complete waste of effort and time by you) rather than just leaving me alone, after your test was unproven and let me go on with my edits like the months before you blocked me for no good reason? Seems like a strange choice to me, but if you want battle lines, then that is your perogative: certainly of your making not mine. - Soprani 00:33, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll give it till tomorrow evening to see if you have changed your mind and realised A) the block has shown to be invalid as it was on unfounded claims (when put to the test, it couldn't be proven) B) Your actions in regards to all the deletions, and your on-going deletions detailed in the sections above is inane and unacceptable (and deemed as destructive by the community), anytime you click "edit this page".. the prime objective is to improve, what you did (and continued to do today) was the exact oposite of that! (the huge chunk of unrefutable evidence of your reckless actions such as those are being compiled by me and will be complete in form not too long)

Anyway, i have now spoken my position... ball is now to you to decide which directions it goes next (neither of which involve me going anywhere, for the reasons stated above, but one route is an incredible waste of both our times and effort). - Soprani 02:59, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

In case a reviewing admin would like to see the checkuser case: Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Soprani. Mr.Z-man 23:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

My thoughts

I've been using Wikipedia for a few years now, as diplomatically as possible, so I thought my opinion on the matter might be of some value. Although I'm not an administrator, browsing Soprani's edit history, I can't say I've found a single instance indicative of destructive, uncivil behavior. In fact, he was quite cordial in my limited conduct with him.

I've been keeping my eye on this dispute as it's developed, and my personal opinion is that the greatest piece of evidence in support of blocking Soprani for any reason, regardless of whether he is proven to be a sockpuppet or not, would be a history of ongoing disruptive behavior within THIS account. Until that kind of evidence be brought to the table, I think current arguments in favor of his banning are rather baseless. Sicilianmandolin 06:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Soprani surely made plenty of very notable and qualified contributions here on Wikipedia, however he was previously banned by ArbCom as Daddy Kindsoul, and always denied to be him despite evidence of the contrary (including a checkuser). I have no problem in accepting him back, but only in case he admits to be Daddy Kindsoul, proves he will never repeat any of the errors that caused him to be blocked and stops creating sockpuppets. In any case, this is just my opinion. --Angelo 15:28, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

He seems pretty passionate about any checkusers done on his current account to have been proven false. Where are the successful checkusers done on the Soprani account? Sicilianmandolin 04:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

They were not false, they were "very likely." I consulted with the checkuser before declining the unblock. Given his ISP, it would be technically impossible for an absolute confirmation. Mr.Z-man 04:54, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Stop it

You just don't get it do you? You were blocked for sockpuppetry, so you think the best way to get unblocked is to harass me on my talk page with obvious sockpuppets? Assume good faith stops when there is evidence to the contrary, and there is loads here. You requested unblock once here. I declined it and you removed it, replacing it with the same request message as before (I only put back the declined request). This was declined by AuburnPilot. You then replaced that with the same request again. AuburnPilot put back the request that he declined. Jpgorden declined the third request (fourth if you count the one by Merope a few days ago). We did not keep adding unblock requests, you did; we just re-added the declined ones that you removed. And then in your sockpuppet harassing on my talk page, you have the nerve to say I didn't AGF and then then call me and other admins hypocrites who don't follow policy (the irony is amazing). I made no mistake and your harassment on my talk page only confirms my thoughts. I've unprotected this page to allow a response Mr.Z-man 19:17, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Messages from Pak

following on from message below

No sign of anything wrong? You weren't looking very hard.

• Leaving false warnings on my talk page
• Describing good faith edits as vandalism and again (It's worth noting here that the version Soprani is reverting to is the same as Daddy Kindsoul's).
• Incivility and personal attacks
• Attempting to remove the sockpuppet evidence --Pak21 10:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

What are your comments to do with article content or any of this on Mentorship, may I ask? Leaving warnings for suspect edits is a standard practice on Wikipedia, nothing "fake". On the topic of Libero (the one at hand there) an admin eventually intervened and it indeed turned out that you were in the wrong. Perhaps I should have gone to the admin in the first place to sort it, but I figured that you may have been a user unfamiliar with the system and instead put a warning template to guide your edit. one of those links is me messaging an admin requesting help with possible vandalism by a user (are you actually reading any of the things you've put up?? or are you just trying to get my attention or something).

the other links you provided was not made under this account from the time that i was left alone editing, they were made after the ban, to report Yamla with sockpuppet through various Projects, so moot point in regards to anything said in this section.

Find me one sign, just one of vandalism or work which is unconstructive on articles in my contributions. if you're so cock-sure lets see shall we. there are non, but there are ones like A.S. Roma and many more which i helped to build to good standard. - Soprani 10:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

1. Please point out exactly which of my edits you were referring to with that warning. Or was it just copied from the comment I left for you?
2. An admin has no more input in a content discussion than any other editor, so an admin cannot determine I was "wrong". There are reasonable arguments on both sides of the libero discussion; describing edits you disagree with as vandalism does not help your position.
3. Uncivil comments made with your self-admitted sockpuppets are incredibly relevant here. Good hand-bad hand accounts are not allowed. --Pak21 10:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

1. Your edits to libero.
2. an admin can be helpful third party opinion during an edit war, especially one who is in the know on the subject (while you it seems aren't a football person). the admin in question knew in the field and eventually correct it... and edit which was the oposite to yours and near to mine.
3. has nothing to do with the long time i was left alone to edit with this account, what i said after an admin slaped this block on, without going through right procedures first and then deleting hundreds of articles and hundreds of my edits is an enterly different situation. Again show me one example of vandalism from the contributions of this account please.

By the way, if you wish to banter with me, i've made a subheader for you here, and left the other one so that, that main proposal (which you aren't even commenting on) doesn't get sidetracked by whatever you want from me. - Soprani 11:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Exactly which edits? You put a warning on my talk page for not using edit summaries. Please provide the diff for any edit I have made to Libero in the past two months were I did not leave an edit summary. --Pak21 11:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

you have made many on it in the last months. but note that the warning says "always give an edit summary toexplain why you are doing this."[19] you did an edit summary, but it was explaining a entirely different matter to the dispute; which was around the football mentions been taken out.. although the facts that libero is Italian for "free", was taken out by you with a mention of that in the summary (an admin later undid this too and it is now in the article anyway).. that was a different side issue to the main thing of it all. the football/soccer thing happens all over Wikipedia, when it got pointed out that we even call our article football (soccer) you just ignored that and called it only a "soccer" position, against our naming conventions agreed by the football community who contributes to them. (which the admin now fixed) - Soprani 11:16, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Well i think... (solution)

I think this have been established, over the last week that i did not go anywhere, irregardless of this ban. As much "fun" (*sarcasm*) as this little game is where, Yamla unconstructively removes a perfectly good edit and i, with a sockpuppet put it back under the grounds of WP:BAN section on "Maximizing the quality of the encyclopedia"... i would actually like to return with this account now and get back to the actual building and working on stuff. it cannot be denied, that by reading this very talkpage that i have stated a desire to return to my work which is valuable and contructive to the encyclopedia.

Now, as we can see, my editing to articles and content show no signs of anything wrong (such as vandalism) and the community agrees so on this (some even kindly vouch for this on this very page). However, if there is some consern due to ancient history... discrepancies, i would be willing to be put into this thing of Wikipedia:Mentorship where a suitable person (prefarably one from Wikipedia:WikiProject Football as this is the topic area which i edit in and they will be familiar with subjects at hand) mentors over my edits to make sure there is nothing wrong. i see this is a perfectly reasonable solution and would like to hear some thoughts. - Soprani 10:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

You are not welcome here. You are banned. --Yamla 16:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Every single edit you have been making has been abusive, direct violations of WP:BAN and WP:SOCK. --Yamla 17:03, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm only banned in the first place because you chose to troll on Wikipedia under the mask of sinserity. 99.9% of the edits you do (all in relation to me) are in violations of WP:BAN "Maximizing the quality of the encyclopedia", people like you is what is wrong with this project. you offer nothing in terms of article contents (three years and not a single GA, or significant overhaul), this is why you're infamous on the internet and many users on places like Wikipedia Review consider your motives on here to be troll-like and counter-productive to it.

And actually, if you read some of the comments on here by people who have worked with me and those replies to what you did which were reported on the WikiProject Football, you will see that my contributions are welcome here by the community i work with.[20] i couldn't care less who or what you consider welcome due to your personal grudges, because you're not even a content editer.. holds no weight I'm afraid.

so we see, when a clear attempt for a perfectly reasonable compromise is made above with the Wikipedia:Mentorship suggestion, you have nothing sensible to add to it. cause you don't come here to maximise wikipedia, this is your social life and your sysop status your play toy. if you couldn't get up every day, to turn on the computer and try to stop "sockpuppets" even if they're adding relevent info that the community values as good, then you would have nothing to life for. am i right?

there is a clear solution and offer on the table which would perfectly solve this in a way which ensures absolutely nothing counter productive can come from my edits with a Mentor watching over me, as we have seen the last week you can't "beat" me with your little games so what is there to lose, by giving it atleast a trial. - Soprani 03:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Please reread WP:BAN, section 5.3. It is entirely appropriate to revert all of your edits and please note that I am far from the only admin doing so. The mentorship committee is not a viable option. You are banned. You have exhausted the community's patience. The only clear solution which is acceptable is for you to leave the Wikipedia as required by WP:BAN. --Yamla 16:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
