Cyclopedion, you are invited to the Teahouse!
How was i vandalizing Crem19 (talk) 05:09, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I guess by creating an account to evade attention to the IP you were using to make identical edits literally minutes before? Cyclopedion (talk) 05:14, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

why am I blocked and what is a checkuser block? Cyclopedion (talk) 01:07, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, Checkuser ("CU") is a tool that allows one to establish from what IP address certain edits are made. It's not to be used without good reason, and only with good suspicions that someone is not who they claim to be. So in your case it revealed quite easily that your previous account was User:~S.Brendan.S~. And so that's why you're blocked: because you are the same editor who earlier had an account that was blocked indefinitely. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:10, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I don’t know who that person is but I am not the only person who uses this IP as it is a residential treatment center. What was your good reason for violating my privacy? Cyclopedion (talk) 01:16, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The extraordinary quality of your edits. If only Brendan hadn't been so eager to burn bridges, so easily inflamed. Wikipedia can use good editors but they have to be team players. Drmies (talk) 01:20, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Not kidding, by the way. You have a good nose for problematic edits. Drmies (talk) 01:26, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The “extraordinary quality” of my edits is sarcasm I assume? I have been pretty much only patrolling RC for vandalism, which I got the hang of pretty quickly. I’m learning as I go. Or at least I was, until you blocked me. I’m still confused as to exactly how my edits were in any way similar to those of that editor, who’s only edits to actual articles were poor. Can you see how I’m still struggling to understand why you violated my privacy? Cyclopedion (talk) 01:30, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh I am perfectly happy to discuss matters, including this unlikely story about your superfast learning ability, as soon as you drop the violation talk: this is a private website, after all. And no, no sarcasm. Why do people always think others are being sarcastic? Drmies (talk) 01:39, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It’s not hard... I found the filters option in recent changes and played with it to find out how to use it to make finding vandalism quicker. I was really just trying to get my vandal revert stats up. And I had to find the edits and do the reverts quickly or other people would get them all before I had a chance. Pretty simple.

 * Cyclopedion, I can't really estimate how much of your story I believe, and yet I am amused. If you run into that other dude, in the hallway or the cafeteria, tell them I said hi. Drmies (talk) 03:37, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe you need to have more faith in the infectious nature of the spirit of knowledge :) power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 03:48, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe so. As long as Cyclopedion accepts the one account thingy, I'm good. Drmies (talk) 03:50, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I just noticed the unblock. Thank you! Maybe some day I will make content contributions, but for now I’m happy looking for vandalism. Cyclopedion (talk) 04:45, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. Take it easy, Drmies (talk) 17:26, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Thank you, much appreciated. Cyclopedion (talk) 04:45, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
