Re: What gives?
I've been signed up for a few weeks now but I still can't move/rename/retitle any articles. How come? Mad Man American (talk) 17:37, 5 November 2010 (UTC)


 * You now also have to have edited 10 times before being able to move pages. I know, it's silly... blame the administrators who decided it was a good idea. Gurch (talk) 16:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Requests for assessment
Hello, why are you nominating all those articles you haven't worked on for other editors to assess at WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Requests? If you haven't worked on the articles you can assess them yourself. Nick-D (talk) 10:32, 9 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Can you please stop nominating articles you haven't worked on for assessment? I'd be happy to give you some pointers if you'd like to assess them yourself. Cheers, Nick-D (talk) 10:54, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I've just removed the long list of articles you requested assessments for here. That page is really intended as a quick way for editors to receive an assessment of an article they've improved. As you don't appear to have worked on any of those articles, it would be best if you just reviewed them yourself - the instructions for this is at WikiProject Military history/Assessment/B-Class FAQ Nick-D (talk) 23:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Unblock

 * Since a Checkuser has stated that there is technical evidence linking this account with Wild Wolf, you're going to need to explain what your connection with that account is, as we block gimmick accounts of blocked users on sight. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 00:26, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The fact that I supported Wild Wolf is not proof that I am a sockpuppet of him, it merely means that I agreed with him. Also, I don't see how asking for an unblock on Wild Wolf's account will get my account unblocked. Unless you can show how my edits constitute vandalism, then I should probably continue editing Wikipedia. Mad Man American (talk) 14:23, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The overwhelming evidence is that you and WW are the same person. "I am not a sock" - again - is not sufficient for you to be unblocked. Vandalism is not the only reason you can be blocked - it's extremely obvious that this is block evasion. "The fact you supported" is not proof - because it is not needed as proof. What it is is evidence that not only is there sockpuppetry here, but that the sockpuppetry is being used for votestacking, an even worse thing. TL;DR - unless you can provide a very convincing explanation as to how you and WW are not the same person, you're going to stay blocked. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
