Request reason:

I need to respond to an accusation of sockpuppetry, see below . There is no evidence to connect me to any other individual. I would like to see what the previous judgements were made on. I edit mainly on one small area of speciality of which I have personal experience BKWSU and have done considerable research. If you look at my edits, the vast majority over the last year have been firstly supplying academics references and then secondly grunt work cleaning them up into template form. I am being attacked by two members of the organisation Core Internet PR Team, the leader of which has stated outrightly that he is attempting to have me banned. See, below. Although I do not have the time to identify this right now, I think you will see from their contribs that they share a pattern of editing, reversion, personal attacks against me and that a disproportionate amount of effort has been putting into gaming the wiki against me. I feel bad that others editors are being brought into this. It is a narrow subject, views will be polarised. Any other unofficial editor will and have faced the "official" PR Team. I am slightly disadvantaged as I do not have the time to invest in all the wiki-lawyering, nevermind track what it is they are up to, and have focused mainly on research, production and maintenance.

Decline reason:

I've discussed the case with the admin who performed the checkuser and it appears solid. I'm sorry, but we're going to have to decline the unblock request. - Kylu 23:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Green108 appears to be relevant. – Luna Santin (talk) 01:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend you sit this out. A week or two is no big deal. Evading blocks through IP editing is seen as a problem in and of itself, and could lead to further sanctions on you. GRBerry 03:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Of course, your block will probably be extended to two weeks. Dumb. Don't you get it? IPSOS (talk) 01:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My block is relevant to the above case. If you have any problems with it, I suggest you take it up with User:Mackensen, as he is the checkuser who determined about the sockpuppetry. --w^{L<speak·check>} 21:23, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As GRBerry noted above, continued evasion of your block with IPs will lead to your account block being extended and may eventually lead to other sanctions such as a ban from editing. I don't know the specifics of your block, but I'd strongly suggest you take the week off before you incur more interruption of your editing privileges.--Isotope23 ^talk 15:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The fair use rationale of the posters you uploaded doesn't reflect reality, that is, it is clearly not low resolution as claimed. Please consult an admin or experienced editor for advice on how to correct the fair use rationale. This isn't necessarily an attempt to pull down the posters from Wikipedia. It is just important that a fair use rationale is accurate. I'm sure you can resolve this. Thanks Bksimonb 08:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You posted on my talk page, "So.........if it is too big for you , why not just make it smaller?". My answer is yes, you go ahead, that will certainly address one issue. Also the comments you made such as this one about re-writing the organisation's history etc have absolutely nothing to do with fair-use rationale. If anything it goes right against the arbcom ruling where it clearly states, "Primary documents can be quoted in order to accurately describe uncontroversial items, but using them to illustrate controversial facts or conclusions is inappropriate." I've added this to the fair-use dispute tags.

How strongly you feel about your POV carries no weight in this situation and serves no purpose as a counter argument, if anything, it just shows a lack of understanding. Please just address the fair-use issues. That's all. I have no problem with the pictures staying once this is done.

Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

The following comments are personal attacks in the form of accusations and attempting to discredit an editor on the basis of affiliation. You also accuse me of "dishonesty" which I personally find quite distasteful. If you persist in making such comments against me I will escalate this issue to conclusion. Although you talk about "the BK" it is quite clear you mean me since I was the only one raising the fair-use concerns. Your co-operation is expected and will be appreciated.

• "BK want to remove images" [3]

• "Bksimonb (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is not being honest for their reason is wanting these images deleted."
• "the contributor wants them removed is that they are a member of the Core Internet PR Team for the organisation involved, the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. "
• "It has put great effort into attempting to own the topic page."

Yes, Green108, the template may be a little strong, but WP:NPA specifically classifies as a personal attack "Using someone's affiliations as a means of dismissing or discrediting their views". Please try to tone down your rhetoric. IPSOS (talk) 13:20, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
