Reverting with no explanation or discussion

I explained why I removed all of that stuff on the article's talk page. If you think some of it should be included, then please discuss it there. Per the bold, revert, discuss cycle, you were bold, I reverted, now we should discuss. Please don't reinsert without as any discussion. Apparition^{11 Complaints}/Mistakes 21:01, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

(More) Also, given that you have been doing little but reverting all day, please see WP:Edit War and WP:3RR. Instead of reverting, discuss. Thanks. Apparition^{11 Complaints}/Mistakes 21:07, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Johnathan87. You have new messages at Apparition11's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I saw that you removed your post from my talk page, which is alright, but since I had replied to you, but resulted in an edit conflict, I thought that I would give you my reply anyway. It was:

"Google search results aren't reliable sources. They should probably be removed also, but WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a viable argument. If you can provide independent sources that indicate that it is notable, then I would be happy to at least partially revert. My only goal here is to try to make this article comply with Wikipedia policies. The way it was before I reverted violated a lot of what Wikipedia is not."

Sockpuppetry

You have been accused of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Johnathan87. Thank you.

I have never asked any friends to edit wikipedia pages. It might be they are using the same LAN connection. I am blocked I see until the 24th?

Welcome back. Your block log is clear, so I guess that it is probably an autoblock, see Wikipedia:Autoblock. I'm not extremely knowledgeable in stuff like that, so I could be wrong, but if that's was it is, you can use these instructions to request an unblock:

Clearing an autoblock

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:

1. If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
   Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
   If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
2. Try to edit the Sandbox.
3. If you are still blocked, copy the {{unblock-ip|...}} code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section. This is usually hidden within the "What do I do now?" section. If so, just click the "[show]" link to the right hand side to show this text.
4. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. Apparition^{11 Complaints}/Mistakes 12:17, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
