I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Request reason:
Discriminatory unfounded blocking... I never violated anything.
Decline reason:
Banned means banned. Period. Banned users are not allowed to change one comma. (And if you weren't really a sock, you probably wouldn't be asking these supposedly rhetorical questions, would you? — Daniel Case (talk) 17:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

- Could you explain why your general behavior so closely matches that of other users listed in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of TyrusThomas4lyf? – Luna Santin (talk) 07:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
How exactly does it "closely match" that of another user? Because we both happen to like basketball? Because I came to Wikipedia in order to set facts straight? I believe that by and large my posts have been improvements by adding factual information or correcting mistakes that were made. That is primarily why I want to edit on this site; to edit and add correct facts regarding basketball. Is it really a surprise that there is more than one person in the whole world who knows a wide array about basketball? Isn't there any entire group of hundreds of people on Wikipedia devoted just to the NBA, for instance? I know a lot about the greatest (most famous) basketball players, the older, 80s and 90s game, and the current game as well. So when I go to make an edit on these topics, it would be much appreciated if my edit were respected and at least reviewed before reverting it. And so what if I find one of the former edits to be correct, and I undo the reversion of it in order to restore it? Is that a crime? If a banned user added content that was IN FACT correct, why wouldn't it be allowed? It would seem minimal to be given justification as to why my edits have been reverted. The fact that a banned user (TyrusThomas4lyf) made a similar edit here or there, which was then reverted, is not reason to believe that my edits are wrong. Of course I have reviewed what I am going to add before I edit it. I make sure to the best of my knowledge that what I am adding is correct. I have not been given actual reasons as to why any of my edits are wrong.--Hypebuster (talk) 11:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
I'm not a banned user. That's the point. What are you asking? "If you weren't really a sock, you probably wouldn't be asking these supposedly rhetorical questions, would you?" What the fuck are you talking about? They aren't rhetorical questions. I don't understand why I've been banned just because I want to edit some Wikipedia basketball articles, and a former editor, who was banned, also wanted to edit them. You aren't asking me a proper question, so what am I supposed to do? There is no other way of proving things other than talking common sense to you people.
Decline reason:
Banned users may not edit, and it is probable that you are indeed a sockpuppet of TyrusThomas4lyf (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). — Sandstein (talk) 07:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

- Of note to any future review, 75.33.251.148 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) began a reverting spree; said IP appears to be on the same ISP as others already listed in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of TyrusThomas4lyf. – Luna Santin (talk) 13:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
