User talk:AndreiTheFish

For reasons why I had deleted the article, see User talk:Skwysh. (Obviously, it is operated by the same person.) As for your appeal to freedom of speech, that makes as much sense as if you had submitted an unsuitable article to a newspaper, and claimed violation of freedom of speech when they failed to publish it.

In fact, I am going to block this account, as a single-purpose account created to re-post a deleted article. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:12, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

It's funny because this is a completely different account, if you checked the Ips one is in Victoria and one is in New South Wales. I simply wanted to back up Skwysh because of the fact that Andrei was very dear to him, he simply wanted it to be there as a tribute. Wikipedia is free to edit and use, a common place to exchange knowledge and ideas. Andrei the fish is significant to a handful of individuals, if the individuals is ignored for the purpose of the masses it seems that you wish to encourage a negative set of ideals towards a fish that did live during Skwysh's lifetime and did make a significant impact towards him and his peers' lives. Taking your notion into effect I think it would be prudent to eliminate any notion of your or any of your co-workers presence and achievement on Wikipedia to ensure that only the articles that appeal to a majority of an audience exist.
 * In general, it is not possible for an administrator to check a user's IP address. For the sake of privacy, only a handful of users have such a privilege, and it's not done without a good reason (e.g. in case of severe abuse). I'll take your word for it that you aren't really User:Skwysh, but rather his friend. But it's not that relevant; inviting friends to Wikipedia and asking them to support you in a dispute is frowned just as much as straightforward sockpuppetry. The article Andrei the Fish was not an encyclopedic article, but rather a short story about a pet fish. (Wikipedia is not a personal website. I temporarily allowed Skwysh to restore the article into a subpage of user space - User:Skwysh/Andrei the Fish - so if you want to find an alternative outlet for it, you'd better do it quickly, because I am going to re-delete it within a few days.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 13:39, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
