AfD nomination of Family of Barack Obama
I have nominated Family of Barack Obama, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Family of Barack Obama. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Loonymonkey (talk) 01:47, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Advice
In controversial articles, such as Barack Obama, it's pretty tough to take any preventative measures to guard against users reverting. It's very tough to have anything met without controversy at this point. Pretty much all I can day is keep WP:BRD in mind, and do your best to sort out what you can.

 * Did you not read the big blue box above that says "Blocked as a sockpuppet ... Checkuser block" ? - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Why am I blocked? I see it says sockpuppet but I am not Derek. My edits on Jimmy Carter are good. I also made good points about Obama. It seems that I am blocked because people want total devotion to electing Obama, which is inappropriate for Wikipedia.

Since there is no RFCU, there is no checkuser evidence. Why did the checkuser go on their own to block? Political motivations? There is no explanation. This makes Wikipedia look bad. Anyone can put that label on. LOOK at you checkuser link in the unblock request that YOU (Rjd0060) placed. That link says It must be used only to prevent damage to any Wikimedia project. The tool should not be used for political control;

I HAVE DONE NO DAMAGE TO WIKIPEDIA SO ACCORDING to the link YOU gave, I should be unblocked. Please
 * There doesn't have to be a RFCU page for each case. Anyhow, I'll leave a note with the checkuser who found you out.  - Rjd0060 (talk) 15:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Per the checkuser policy, there doesn't need to be a public RFCU case filed. Furthermore, you were identified on behaviour then verified by checkuser. Checkuser has ✅ you are Dereks1x. As Dereks1x has been blocked for abusive sockpuppetry amongst other things, this is hardly "political control" - A l is o n  ❤ 15:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
