User talk:Jimbertoni

Hi Hersford... I can't thank you enough for helping me. Jimbertoni (talk) 19:51, 23 September 2012 (UTC) Jim

After several back and forth e-mails with Herfold, it was determined that my name triggered a 'false positive'. His last e-mail to me was:

"Hello again Jim,

Thank you for doing that for me. I've taken a look at the data I mentioned, and I believe that this was an unfortunate false positive. I'm sorry that you got caught up in this, but sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish one account from another with this information. I have unblocked your account, and marked in your block log that this was a false positive and should not reflect negatively on you in the future.

If you still have any difficulty editing, it could be a result of an "autoblock" placed by the Mediawiki software; should this occur, the block message you'll receive will contain a template you can post on the page I had you edit earlier. It'll look something like this: Once that's posted, someone will be able to remove your block shortly.

Thanks for your patience with this, and welcome back to Wikipedia."

Wikipedia has an article on Chick Harbert a tour golf professional that was popular in the 1940s and 50s. He was a close friend of my father, and our families were close. I have recently come across a wonderful photo of Chick that my father took in 1959 before the Motor City Open at Meadowbrook CC in Northville, MI. Chick was the resident golf pro, my father the golf course superintendent. I wanted to honor both men by submitting the photo.

I understand from my emails with Herfold that there was a Jimbertoni in past years that was destructive. I assure you that wasn't me. My name IS Jim Bertoni, I am 65 years old (tomorrow)and I live in Huntington Beach, CA. I am (and have been for a few years) on facebook. If you review me there, I believe you will see me harmless. I have no hidden agendas. Thank you for your considerations.

IP block exempt
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 22:37, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
