Requested Unblock, Did You Get my Email

Hi Guerillero (happy Cinco de Mayo), did you and the rest of the Arbcom mailing list receive my email of April 24? I asked to be unblocked. I was a contributor of solid content for five or six years before I was perma-blocked without warning with a button click falsely labeling me a sockpuppet by an administrator that didn't explain anything. I was proud of my contributions to Wikipedia and would like to do so again. As you look into my case (as I expect you to, given your position as arbitrator) do not accept as fact any accusation against me without allowing me to respond. I have endured many many lies and WP:AN/ANI mob attacks in which I was muted and my defenses erased, resulting in damage to my reputation as an editor. Further, do not accept the assertion of Thryduulf at my talkpage that I am on an "appeal timer," because he has no authority to do any such thing and there is nothing in policy that allows him this, as well his purporting timing is unevidenced and suspect. Answer my email or unblock my talkpage and we'll be able to communicate about this important matter.

"my successors look forward to your appeal in 2017 -Guerillero" Did you know Bwilkins once banned me for 20 years? And that he was serious? You're a sterling member of Wikipedia's administrative bullyocracy, G, and it won't be forgotten ever. Colton Cosmic. |

Hatting my comment
I think the 3 gamergaters who decided to jump on my sympathies for Gamaliel rather proved my point about the way Gamergaters behave. Sad that their goal is to harass people wherever they can. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz (talk) 04:45, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
Disappointed
Disappointed with your comment here. They've had a mandate since 2005. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:54, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
Query re deleted article
The subject of a deleted page Lorin Berland, wrote to Wikimedia (ticket:2016051710016583) wondering what happened to the page. I explained that it was created by a banned or blocked user, but the edit summary brings me to this page: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Ntiele
I don't see the editor, user:Cynthy101, mentioned on that page or at the archive page: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Ntiele/Archive
What am I missing?--S Philbrick(Talk) 17:00, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
- It looks like I never tagged or blocked the account but it follows the same general pattern of the other accounts. It is as hell right now but I might have something in my notes right now. I object to restoring the article for a number of reasons that I am willing to discuss via email. --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 02:48, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
Stale- Not surprisingly, the subject would like it restored, but I'm not inclined to given the circumstances. I'd like to give the subject a little more information. Would you mind if I pointed her to your email address, and suggest that she contact you? --S Philbrick(Talk) 18:11, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- Quite frankly, I would have deleted the article for a litany of reasons even if it didn't come up in a socking investigation. It was an obvious paid fluff piece that was being held together by duct tape made of trivial mentions. I am not inclined to restore the page or speak with the subject via email. (Please do not give out my email.) --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 03:25, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
