User talk:Dago Dazzler

On the face of it I cannot see why you were blocked. However, NuclearWarfare, who blocked you, must know more about this than I do, so I will ask them to look at this. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:30, 4 September 2010 (UTC)


 * This is almost certainly a sockpuppet of someone involved in CC topic-space. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 22:30, 4 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I was not blocked for sock puppetry, I was blocked for committing a BLP violation which I dispute for the reasons stated above. If you or anyone else has evidence to support your allegation please take it to the proper venue, otherwise please refrain from making such accusations.  --Dago Dazzler (talk) 03:51, 5 September 2010 (UTC)


 * The user's name violates WP:USERNAME policy. Hey, DD, I enjoyed it, but the joke's over. Use your regular account or, if you're banned, find another user name. Stay funny. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 00:38, 5 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I hadn't actually considered this aspect but if it is a problem and if I am unblocked I agree to change my name to comply with the stated policy. It was not my intention to violate that policy.


 * As for the images themselves, while I obviously intended them to have a humorous aspect I actually was careful about the licensing and to avoid anything that could be considered derogatory or defamatory because these are legitimate representations of modern day dazzlers. The thing that seems to be getting lost here is that these are legitimate content contributions to the article.  Do you have any suitable alternative images for this article?  --Dago Dazzler (talk) 03:51, 5 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, you were careful to avoid all but the most obviously brain-dead violations of Wikipedia policies - which leads me to believe that you are a sock puppet of a banned editor. Have you ever edited Wikipedia with another account?  A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 01:30, 6 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but I don't know which brain-dead policy you are referring to. No need to be cryptic, please just state your point plainly.  --Dago Dazzler (talk) 03:20, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

For those who are curious, and I know you are out there ...
Since it appears I shall remain blocked and the admins at Wikimedia Commons are not going to undelete the files in question I have made them available on Flickr [Redacted] Go check out for yourself what a BLP violation so severe it warrants an indefinite block actually looks like. --Dago Dazzler (talk) 03:20, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. Flickr limits the resolution of the image compared to that which was originally uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. I have enabled my Wikipedia email so feel free to contact me using that if you would like to get the high resolution version of the DagoDazzler-2.png file.  --Dago Dazzler (talk) 03:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

While cute, Wikipedia is not the forum for spreading images you consider humorous. Accordingly this page is being locked as well. -Selket Talk 15:52, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
