Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Request reason:

I am unsure why I was blocked for a week for reverting edits on my former username while the other party who has a LENGTHY block log received 24 hours. Additionally, I don't have a sock account and disclosed my IP at the time of my complaint. I feel like the tone and action taken by this admin are ridiculous. I attempted to have my account vanish but QuackGuru kept re-adding links to the renamed username essentially trying to out me.

Decline reason:


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You cannot WP:VANISH if you go right back to the topics you edited before. Vanishing is a courtesy that is offered if you are walking away from your former topics and arguments. You lose the vanishing if you go back to that stuff. Which you did. Jytdog (talk) 23:23, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
No I didn't. I walked away from Wikipedia, that is the point. It was quite clear that the IP that QuackGuru was on about WASN'T me. Thanks for being a talk page stalker please leave my talk page alone. Renameduser024 (talk) 23:28, 4 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
So, i'll just record this, and say no more. I wanted to see if what you said was true. You renamed your account here on feb 20th. You were blocked for socking 7 days later. The contribs of the sock account were in new fields; this account's contribs were all reverting QuackGurus's edits. So those two accounts were not in the old fields. That leaves only the IP addresses, which no one can discuss publicly, since we don't discuss those publicly. Those are where the question is, I guess. However, you clearly didn't "walk away from Wikipedia" as you were still editing from the SOCK account, and monitoring your pages and arguing with QG about them through this account; so the "walking away" part is not true regardless of if you were also editing while logged out. Anyway, I will leave you alone now. Jytdog (talk) 00:05, 5 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
