This user should be unblocked as he has been proven innocent of being a sockpuppet (Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/TharkunColl). TharkunColl (talk) 15:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Check with Administrator Thatcher, for help. GoodDay (talk) 15:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock

{{unblock| As reviewed by Thatcher I am not a sock puppet of ShieldDane. I've been blocked on the assumption that I have not joined to add anything more to Wikipedia then to help my friend, which is untrue on many levels. I made the decision to vote on the deletion of image:Egilonehand.jpg at my own accord with a reason I very much believed to be justified. Further more you may be able to see that I have only joined recently, this has been such a short time for me that I haven't even been able to contribute in my more ways than this. Thank you for your time, VigilantDarkness 16:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)}}

Before this unblock request can be considered, I think the minimum we can expect from you guys is an honest, plausible explanation of how you all belong together. If you are different people, and on different continents at that, what made you join Wikipedia all at the same time and what brought you the idea of forming this ridiculous TharkunColl fan club? Otherwise, the finding that you are disruptive troll meatpuppets still stands, physical separation or not. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that's quite fair - other than his own and my user pages, Vigilant Darkness has made no edits at all, let alone disruptive ones. TharkunColl (talk) 17:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

While I have no quarls in explaining myself I get the feeling that my Blocked state is being held ransom to meet your curiousity. If you would be so kind, I'd like to hear more before I explain any further. Vigilant Darkness (talk) 17:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I think FPF wants your promise, that you won't follow Tharky around the articles & discussion pages, backing him up; particularly at Afd's, Rfc's etc. GoodDay (talk) 17:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

No, I really want to know: why were these guys suddenly here? They've caused quite a bit of disruption with their silly little game, even if it was meant to be harmless, so let's at least hear who they are and why they did it? I'm dead serious. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I know you're serious. They've all been cleared of 'sockpuppetry', this much is known. PS- by the way, I'm concerned about Catherine de Burgh, but that's another topic. GoodDay (talk) 18:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I believe I stated it was not my true intention within my Unblock request. Also, it is a principle of Wikipedia to first assume good faith. As for FPF, we can quite easily hold this same conversation without the block. My previous statement stands. Vigilant Darkness (talk) 18:13, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): The checkuser has likely cleared you of being the same person as TharkunColl, so I am provisionally unblocking you. However, do NOT take this as carte-blanche for you and your group of friends to participate in any shenanigans. You are being closely scrutinized, and you all can still be blocked for disruption. Good day, and I hope you become a constructive Wikipedia editor. Request handled by: Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Jayron32. I appreciate your generosity and I will remember your words. FPF if you are still instrested I will speak with you about my affiliations now. Vigilant Darkness (talk) 18:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, let's hear... Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Basically we all met while playing an online game and we had some contact with Wiki and decided to join. Only Dane found TharkunColl and thought it would be fun to start a Fan club and see how people react and we all joined to see how it would go. Thats about it, amazing isn't it? Vigilant Darkness (talk) 19:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Is your (plural) becoming Tharky fans genuine? Or is it 'all' just a laugh? GoodDay (talk) 19:12, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't speak for the others but I'll say this. I like Tharky and I'll support him just as hes supported me but we can't possibly agree on everything. That will only get us in more trouble then we're already in. Vigilant Darkness (talk) 19:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Okie Dokie. GoodDay (talk) 19:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
