You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Sockpuppet investigations/Paul Easter. Thank you. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:55, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

A check user has concluded that you are not a sock puppet. Therefore, I've removed that tag from your user page. However, it's not clear to me what brought you here in the first instance as the timing doesn't look good (see WP:MEAT). If I were to unblock you, please tell me what you would use your account for at Wikipedia. At the same time, please address the issue of meat puppetry.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:30, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Their comment on the SPI does give me the impression that they are willing to learn Wikipedia's policies and put forth a WP:GOODFAITH effort, so I have no problem with them being unblocked as long as they plan on editing Wikipedia for non-Easter purposes.

As I've already said, I was brought to the Wikipedia page via Paul Easter's link to me. He (later, after I had done an edit) posted a further comment saying that he did not create the entry, but he was having trouble from Wikipedia about suggestions of same. So the reason that my arrival on Wikipedia seems suspicious is that Paul posted the link, saying that he had been put up on Wikipedia. Looking at the Paul Easter Wikipedia entry, I decided to clean it up. I saw that the entry was flagged for possible deletion. I thought that the sole reason was that it was poorly executed. I had no interest in this, other than to tidy up the biographical data a little for grammar. I did not refer to your house style nor the rules associated with entry composition, but if I see a comma instead of a full stop, I know to change it. I know that Wikipedia follows US spelling conventions. I repeat that the work that I did was for grammar and syntax, and I excised a personal (emotional) descriptor or two. I knew that if I just edited the block of text, coding would not be an issue. However, I could be faulted for my carriage returns and other elements for which I should perhaps have used the formatting tools. I don't know Paul personally. As I said, I didn't look at the coding or the conventions on Wikipedia. I edited the block of text pertaining to his biography. My coding skills are limited. I tried to enter a link for references, but when it didn't format correctly, I removed it. I'd like to know why the entry itself was marked for deletion. For example, the accuracy of most of the information can be ascertained on Paul's IMdB page. Thank you. Heraclitus G (talk) 09:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The article was deleted because it didn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Just because an article is "accurate" doesn't mean it deserves an entry here. You still didn't address my question as to what you would do at Wikipedia if you were unblocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 09:39, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. Notability. I apologise. Alright, I get that. Given that the purpose of my account's establishment was to clean up a page, I won't edit further, other than - as Tokyogirl179 suggests - to act in good faith. So if you or any other administrator would like to contact me on here, with a view to editing any material, please feel free. Heraclitus G (talk) 10:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't contact users to ask them to edit. It's your choice whether to edit. So, if you don't want to edit anymore, why do you want to be unblocked?--Bbb23 (talk) 23:49, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Well, if I see a spelling error, a homonym, for instance (loath instead of loathe, or whatever) I might correct it. But any more comprehensive editing, I won't act until I've familiarized myself with Wikipedia's conventions.
 * Okay, my sense is the same as 's, that you're not here to be disruptive. Therefore, I'm going to assume good faith and unblock you. Small point if you ever post on talk pages in the future. Read up on WP:INDENT.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:42, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
