User talk:Elkwjdvc

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, articles should not be moved, as you did to Al Gore, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --John Owens | (talk) 13:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

The block
This user has been blocked after only one edit. Could someone please unblock. I have told the real life person not to vandalize. Thanks! Zbl 01:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The user him/herself should request to be unblocked on this talk page. The user was blocked as an obvious sockpuppet of indef blocked vandalism only account User:Puppop, as both users moved the Al Gore page to "total idiot".  If Elkwjdvc admits his/her mistake and promises to adhere to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, I might consider an unblock.  I will, however, submit a check user request to confirm that he or she is not Puppop if I unblock.  If it is determined that there is a sockpuppet or sockpuppets involved, I will reblock all users involved. · j e r s y k o talk · 01:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

What is checkuser and how does it work? Zbl 01:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Basically, after you start checkuser, all edits are recorded by IP? Zbl 01:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * A checkuser request can check to see what IP addresses a logged in user has edited from. It's a bit more complicated than that, I believe.  If Elkwjdvc and Poppup and others have edited from the same or similar IPs, for example, there will be at least some evidence that there is sockpuppetry going on (again, it's a bit more complex than that, I believe). · j e r s y k o talk · 01:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I request unblock and agree to checkuser, but I normally edit from one of several shared IP's. Elkwjdvc 01:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I have unblocked you. Please adhere to Wikipedia guidelines and policies and refrain from vandalism. · j e r s y k o talk · 01:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
