User talk:Chickenandporn

Wikipedia has blocked me; the following have not: freshmeat.net slashdot.org facebook.com google / gmail

my blogging tends to be at http://tech.chickenandporn.com/ and http://misc.chickenandporn.com/ if you want to ensure I'm actually a person and not something automated

"this is the only edit you've made" -- that's incorrect, I've made other changes, but it seems those are hidden -- it seems nothing about me can be checked without the "blocked" notice. One specific example is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallfoot page which no longer shows my edits, but I'm the "Allan Clark" mentioned. That's the easiest example I can think of.

I'm not sure the "conflict of interest" -- I hope you can expand on that. There seems an implication that I'm not getting there. Is the conflict related to my having blogs? or a gmail account? Looking at the blocking rules, the original admin cannot unblock me -- he's gone, as clearly shown in his bio -- so that's not what the conflict can possibly be since I (honestly) assume the admin(s) looking at this unblock request have checked all the details.

2005 is closer to when I joined -- would a block be back-dated? The Smallfoot page I mentioned above that I have edited didn't even exist in 2005.

It now seems that NawlinWiki has edited the block to "account creation blocked", which is different than the previous reason. Chickenandporn (talk) 21:02, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly, I have checked, and you have no deleted contributions either. Secondly, if you read our username policy you will see that your username is in contravention of our rules. Thirdly, account creation blocked has nothing to do with the reason behind your block, it is merely a technical measure to prevent you from creating further accounts. Finally, no, a block is not backdated to when you joined. Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 22:27, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I was logged in as my username to edit documents such as the Smallfoot page, and that page is younger than my block-date of 5 years ago -- where did those edits go?

By "offensive" in the username policy, I have to assume what para you're talking about. There's an implication of what offends each person, and that changes country-to-country: for example "678" is a sexist derisive term, "Christy" would be offensive on other places. Collecting them all would be a massive effort, and would further restrict contribution. Other services accept this username, and until recently, Wikipedia did as well (when I made the previous edits).

"Mr Porn" is a delivery guy in Phuket -- he is similarly banned? It's his actual surname.

My point here is that this is subjective, recently retroactively applied, and based on assumptions of societal norms -- the history summarily dropped seems to add justification (admin's comment above: "this is the first edit you've made" as justification). Wikipedia is an international system that cannot hope to address the possible ways people might be offended. I've never gotten anything but a chuckle or a smile with my email address.
