Per Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Lukeklein, I've blocked this account from editing indefinitely. Sorry. – Luna Santin (talk) 09:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)Reply


{{unblock reviewed|1= I find this incredibly disappointing. I am definitely not a sockpuppet of lukeklein, though I do share an apartment with him. I have worked in the same field as Dr. Klein (and have worked with him), and as such I feel that I have a unique insight into his standings within the medical community. If I were an active participant within the field of archaeology, I would contribute my ideas to that article. However, I am far better versed in the advancements made to liposuction via the tumescent technique, and thus find myself contributing to that discussion. Though I do not often edit entries - as I find most entries to be very thorough with little if any need for my contributions, I felt compelled to contribute to this article because Dr. Klein is an asset to the medical community, and his innovations were being questioned. I am unable to email the admin Luna Santin as it currently stands, but I will happily send you photographic evidence that we are, in fact, two distinct people. I would like my account reinstated; I know very little about IPs except that lukeklein and I share a wireless network, but we are certainly not the same person. Please let me know what I must do to have my account reinstated. This is very frustrating.--Procession (talk) 21:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)|decline=Send whatever evidence you may have to unblock-en-l AT lists DOT wikimedia DOT org. As this is a checkuser block, placed for creation of multiple abusive accounts, you will not be unblocked without substantial evidence to contest the reasons for the block. — Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:12, 22 April 2008 (UTC)}}Reply

I was in the process of writing my own decline, and I conflicted with Hersfold above. Here was the text of my decline: Per several arbitration committee cases, the recruitment of new people for the sole purpose of influincing a debate are to be treated exactly as if it were one person who were operating multiple accounts with the intent to deceive. See WP:SOCK and this ArbCom finding on "Meatpuppets" for more information on this. In short, whether you are the same person as Lukeklein or you are his roomate who he asked to vote in the discussion in question, its all the same to Wikipedia. A new account was clearly created at the behest of Lukeklein for the sole purpose of influincing the outcome of a debate unfairly, and for that reason this new account has been blocked. — Jayron32.talk.contribs 22:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)}}Reply

{{unblock|First, allow me to apologize if I am breeching some rule by posting and appealing here again. I feel obliged to respond to the above user, and to defend my name. It is not my intent to abuse this appeals system.

Response to Jayron32 - Please check my contribution history. When you do, you will find that my account was created over two years ago (with my first contribution occurring on 3 February 2006).[[1]] Therefore, as I maintain my own autonomous account, which was created years ago (and not created with the intent of circumnavigating any of Wikipedia's policies RE: the Jeffrey A. Klein entry), the details of WP:SOCK in this context are moot. My account is not a sockpuppet. I do share a wireless connection with user lukeklein. I am also just as knowledgeable about the history of the subject (tumescent liposuction) as is lukeklein, and hence my own participation and contributions. User lukeklein made several arguments that I felt were lacking, and I contributed my own thoughts and opinions to the voting process. If I had disagreed with him, I would have either voiced that opinion (as I feel strongly that I have a good deal of personal insight about this subject and its development) or abstained from voting altogether. I have just sent an email to unblock-en-l [at] lists [dot] wikimedia [dot]org for the maintainers to review. I believe that the evidence I've provided them is compelling, and proves that my account is not a sockpuppet account, nor is it accessible by anyone else but myself. I hope that this account is reinstated accordingly. --Procession (talk) 00:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)}}.Reply
