My account was unblocked by Jimbo Wales, but I am still prevented from editing pages due to the IP address being blocked. I am asking permission to have this unblocked.

Your edit to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you.

The greatest page ever ever

A tag has been placed on The greatest page ever ever, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to provide more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately, and also put a note on Talk:The greatest page ever ever. An administrator should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 1 under Articles. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such material.

Same with Practice Edit Page. We already have Wikipedia:Sandbox for people to practice editing. Thanks, NawlinWiki 15:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Like I said, see Wikipedia:Sandbox. NawlinWiki 15:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Aaru Bui ^DII 01:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Someone already posted a warning above. Thank you anyways. I will take this more seriously--The Showster 02:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to create inappropriate pages such as Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Bowser Koopa, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Metros232 05:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

How on earth is that inappropriate? He is a known vandal and sockpuppeteer. I see everyone else has a page which lists potential sockpuppets yet you keep deleting his. You make a catagory yet not a page for it? Why bother putting it as a catagory if you don't want a page for it. Ok I will keep this in mind, but you have to explain your actions as to why you listed a non-existant catagory on his page. I just wanted to contribute by making a page, that is it. That stupid picture was another users doing, and I here he was causing quite a mess trying to make the same page over and over again.

What the......I am BLOCKED!?!?

Apparently I have been autoblocked thanks to a user known as User: Crazy Commander. But I have an account that has been here for a while. I should be beyond my IP address. I thought creating an account protected your IP address or at least you were able to still edit even when that IP address was blocked. The IP address was blocked before but not my account. What is up here. This is terrible since it takes a day to remove the autoblock. There was NO need to block that many users because of one vandal account. Especially when I have my own account that has been here for a while. Clearly this guy was mad or something. I am asking for it to be lifted. I do NOT want to go throught that whole process of unblocking since by the time it is addressed I will be unblocked. Just make sure this never happens again please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Showster (talk • contribs)

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.

   If you are able to edit the sandbox, you are not blocked from editing. Either the autoblock on your IP address has already expired, or you weren't blocked in the first place. Either way, you can resume editing.

3. If you are still blocked, follow the directions below:
   1. Copy the {{unblock-auto|...}} code generated for you under the "Unblock request" section.
   2. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page, and click save.

      If you cannot edit your own talk page, use the Unblock Ticket Request System to make your request.

<<unblock|I was blocked indirectly for what User:Crazy Commander did and I am requesting to be unblocked since I have done nothing wrong>>

I am unable to find the block, with the information you've given us. Please use the {{unblock-auto}} template that is generated from the "you've been blocked" page. Thank you. Luna Santin 00:21, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

So I guess every user of the same IP address MUST be a sockpuppet by your logic. I vandalized ONCE on a page Crazy Commander never visited. It was out of anger, I was NOT being funny with it, and as I said I learned from it. He also NEVER created pages, he just vandalized the same page over and over again. So your claim and reason for the indefinite block is unjustified and based on assumption rather than prove. We have nothing alike other than the same IP address. I had no idea he even existed until the autoblock. Another fact you should know, Bowser Koopa, out of all the sockpuppets he has had(I too believe that both Crazy Commander AND You're The Man Now Dog are mere sockpuppets of him, heck Dog even mentioned him) never visited the page I vandalized, the ONLY link you mention is the fact they have something to do with wrestling(even though I vandalized the Total Nonstop Action page while these accounts went after World Wrestling Entertainment pages, especially [[John Cena}}, newflash: they are different companies. I am a fan of WWE and could care less how bad some of the wrestlers are. I was just fed up with the whole praising of TNA on other sites that I attacked that page. I haven't vandalized since then. And only one of my pages was made as a joke. I forgot about the sandbox and did not see a page to pratice editting with, so I created that page and then I never made it again after I found out about the sandbox. I haven't done anything wrong in days. I merely created the sockpuppet page because there was a red link on one of Bowser Koopas page and wanted to contribute by making a page that would eventually be made anyways. However You're The Man Now Dog put a picture up there and I think THAT is what got it deleted. I tried remaking it but it was deemed "inappropriate". And now you are actually calling ME a sockpuppet of Bowser Koopa? I guess you guys really like blocking people and hate when people are able to edit pages by your logic. Blocking vandals is ok, but blocking anybody you want and making crap up is not. You have NO evidence of me being a sockpuppet you were just frustrated with someone requesting to be unblocked after being autoblocked, look I was just asking to be unblocked and you block me indefinately? Is it that much of a pain and so hard to unblock people that you find it easier to make up crap and block everybody. Look, I am not mad about the autoblock since it happens all the time, but looking for an excuse(and a bad one at that), there is no real link between me and Crazy Commander other than the IP address, you just saw the wrestling things and blocked me for that. I am sorry for being a bother about the block if it is difficult, but this is ridiculous and being a cocky about it like I have been a pest for asking it is just uncalled for. Screw the person who made up that crap about me being a sockpuppet. I hope to someday to come back to this website and NOT be hassled by vandals and lazy administrators(not all of you, just people like this guy).

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

wrongfully accused of sock puppetry

Decline reason:

It has been confirmed, you are coming from the same IP. -- HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 15:58, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

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.

I have been blocked indefinately due to a user comparing me to a user of the same IP address even though there is no similarity between us on the pages we visited or the way we edit or talk. The user claims that because the pages we visited were wrestling related that it was justified to block me as well. Originally, I had been autoblocked thanks to this user User:Crazy Commander vandalizing the John Cena page. I only vandalized ONCE and that was the Total Nonstop Action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Showster (talk • contribs)

You don't find it the least bit ironic that your IP address just happens to be the same as Crazy's? Which happens to be the same as Bowsers'? Which happened to be a user you were a little hyper-actively obsessed over? Metros232 04:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

It has been confirmed you are using the same IP address That is a bunch of nonsense. How am I like any of these idiots. I vandalized ONE page. Look at my history and contributions and then look at their's. They vandalized EVERY time they logged in. Heck, some of the users you called sockpuppets of Bowser Koopa haven't made ANY contibutions and the only link is the IP address. They may be sockpuppets depending on when they were made, but you can't link them to Bowser Koopa. They hardly did anything to deserve blocking as far a vandalism. Heck, the only contribution on of them made was simply asking when the Cena page was going to be unblocked. I do not care whether or not they were sockpuppets, they did not do anything to harm this website. Heck, do you think it is odd that not even the sock puppeteer Bowser Koopa has admitted those names were his and is in fact laughing at people being blocked because of him. You blocked many people from editing on Wikipedia. Heck, I do not even know if THIS will stop him. He can just go and find another IP address and strike there. The thing I do not understand is why Captain Insano shows no mercy, Vincent Kennedy McMahon XFL, You're The Man Now Dog, etc are not on the confirmed sockpuppets even though they can be linked to him yet all those other accounts, there are two or three that are, but the others have nothing in common with him. You basically wiped out many users just to get to one and you haven't even broken his spirits. I hope to once more be able to contribute to this site and help prevent moronic vandals like Bowser Koopa(I made the page because I wanted to help out,NOT to refer to my former account. Why would I help administrators try to spot a sockpuppet of him if I were a sockpuppet. IP addresses are used by multiple people, it is just that he had been using it more frequently than others. Now when people using that address try to edit, they will not be able to. Like I said, he seems determined to annoy administrators and might try to use another IP address. I do NOT want to have to leave my area just to edit pages under a different IP address. I am asking for the IP address to be unblocked, I do not even care about my account anymore since I am not able to convince these apparently ignorant administrators(just the ones who blocked and are making everyone suffer just to tell ONE guy "We got you HAHAHHAAHA you can't vandalize pages no more" and you even fail at that. He was laughing at you and even vowed to continue under a different IP address and accounts. The only people you have successfully hurt include me and everyone else who uses this IP address. Once again, he used it alot more frequently than others so that is why you see mostly vandalism. He thinks this thing is blocked for 6 months, this is your opportunity. Unblock it, and I promise the amount of vandalism will decrease. If he finds out this thing is unblocked and does it again, you may block it once more. But if there is a time you can expect less vandalism, it is when the chief vandal of that IP address believes it is blocked for a lenghty amount of time.

Do not tell me that Bowser Koopa(or a wannabe follower) just mocked me for being blocked. I get blocked yet his vandalism is still going on? I am glad you blocked him, but I think this means that blocking me as well as the other users was unjustified and for nothing. What I do not believe is that I am apparently a confirmed sockpuppet and this guy is only suspected of being one. I am in no way shape or form a sockpuppet of that idiot. I had no idea about who was using what IP address until Crazy Commander got blocked. This is ridiculous. I am no longer asking, but I am DEMANDING to be unblocked RIGHT NOW!!! This is annoying. A vandal is STILL on the loose and I am the one who gets blocked permanently(come on, I KNOW you are not going to unblock me ever. indefinate means whenever you feel like and no specific date, it does not automatically mean permanent. You should put "infinite" block if you want to be honest.) You know nothing of how to handle them. Blocking an entire community just as a failed attempt at catching ONE vandal is appalling and really shows how effective you guys are. Heck he made it OBVIOUS that he was not named after the Nintendo character, he was named after the vandal and even vowed that he was doing his dirty work. It took you THAT long to stop him? At least the other Bowser-related sockpuppets didn't make it obvious till AFTER they were blocked. I mean Good Lord, can't you just unblock the IP address, cause clearly that is not helping things.

Thank you for unblocking me

I would just like to thank you for unblocking me.

Um....the IP is still blocked though. I can't do anything. I thought I could avoid this since I have an account. Is there anyway around this?

You'd have to post the autoblock-unblock template that you see to have that removed. Metros232 20:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I followed the damn instructions and posted that on. Unblock me now

I was happy when I heard I was unblocked by Jimbo Wales. However this stupid autoblock is still installed and I followed directions but you still say "Post a reason for unblocking you" what do you want me to say? What reason should I give? I am autoblocked because of another users damage that is the point. I am not waiting six months for the IP address to get unblocked so please help out. There is not much else i can do on my part because I AM AUTOBLOCKED.

You're obviously not following the directions. If you were, an actual IP address would be showing up in the autoblock template you're pasting. Metros232 23:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

well why don't you tell me how to do that then? I could use the help. I hate to be a jerk about this but I have been through a lot here.--The Showster 01:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

From the autoblock template:

1. Copy the {{unblock-auto|...}} code generated for you under the "Autoblocked?" section.
2. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.

Make sure you copy the whole thing and paste it here. Metros232 02:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I put it on the bottom of the page. Once again sorry for being a jerk about it, but then again I went through a lot over the past months.
