Image GFDL

I note you state you are the creator of an image (Image:Glencedar.JPG) that is identical to a deleted image uploaded by a different user. Would you care to explain this? Proto///type 00:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet of User:Daloonik, created to get around a block. Evidence for this is your own confession to this in Image:Fairbankmemorialcrc.JPG, which is identical to that uploaded by Daloonik. Proto///type 00:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

{{unblock|This is absolutely ridiculous. [[User:Proto]] is obviously upset because he mistakenly speedily deleted some articles that should not have been, and has doubtless been shown to be wrong. Blocking me and claiming that I am a sockpuppet with no substantial proof is simply wrong. All my edits are clearly in good faith to wikipedia, and I am a user who is trying his best to add helpful content to this wonderful encyclopedia.}} Cellpreference 00:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC) Update : User:Proto has speedily deleted twice (see Special:Log/delete&page=Fairbank_Memorial_Community_Recreation_Centre an article which did not meet the criteria for articles for speedy deletion. This should be reviewed and the article reinstated. Cellpreference 01:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

You might try adding the info to Fairbank Memorial Park. I don't think anyone would object to that. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 01:45, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

(Once your other account is unblocked, if you are in fact a sock.) -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 01:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

It's hard to add content to wikipedia when your accounts are blocked and your edits are deleted, even if all this is to help the encyclopedia :(

I've reviewed your block, and I'm afraid I can't unblock you at this time. You admitted in an edit summary that you were formerly User:Daloonik, and that user is blocked. So apparently, you created this account so you could continue editing. This is called sockpuppetry, and sockpuppets used to evade a block constitute a good reason for an indefinite block. Please, I know it's frustrating. The block on Daloonik, your main account, expires in 2 weeks. For now, take a break from wikipedia. When that block expires, you can start editing again. Proto may have deleted your articles on Toronto parks, because there's not much information on each individual park, and we don't need articles on every conceivable subject. However, you seem to know about the subject; perhaps, when you return, you could write an article on Public parks in Toronto? Or simply contribute information to the Toronto article? It can be tough when you're new, getting used to all the rules, and a lot of people get into trouble early on. Please don't take it personally! Mangojuice^talk 03:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

An article on Toronto parks in general (as Mangojuice suggests) would be a far better way to go about this. But remember that edits of the sort that got your other account (Daloonik) blocked for one week are not helpful, at all. You obviously know how Wikipedia works, and can be a great contributor. Once you return, let me know if you ever have any problems. Proto///type 08:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I heartily disagree. Have you looked at the article on Fairbank Memorial Park, and the subsequent discussion for deletion, found here and here? You have to admit that you cannot squash all this information into one huge article. And you still haven't given a reason as to why you speedily deleted those other articles when they did not meet the criteria. Cellpreference 14:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
