User talk:Rick with a silent P

Unblock request
I received an email from this user with the above unblock request. I blocked them because their sole edit looked like clear vandalism (I still don't fully buy the explanation for the edit), and the username was questionable/trolling at best. I shall let an uninvolved administrator take a look. GiantSnowman 17:50, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Further email received: "Since you are still dubious about my unblock request may I just make one more attempt to prove my integrity. The username is just a bit of fun, someone called me that many years ago as a joke, it's just a bit of "tongue-in-cheek" humour and it's stuck, there are far too many usernames "Rick" or variations of. My real name is Richard (Rick for short)  I have been making money donations for many years, not big ones but better than 98% that don't at all I'm told by Wikipedia admin "Katherine Maher".  My email address is [redacted] if it can be checked.  If not I would be happy to send you proof.  I can assure you I'm not a vandal, I just made one genuine mistake and will make absolutely certain I don't do it again." GiantSnowman 19:54, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to buy the explanation for the edit, but am a bit concerned by the comments regarding Kevin Keegan. Information added to Wikipedia needs to be cited to reliable sources, and can't just be based on your personal impressions of what is or isn't correct. If you can confirm that you understand this, I would be willing to unblock and give you a second chance. signed,Rosguill talk 21:19, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've received an email response to this question, although I would have preferred for the reply to have been on this page. At any rate, I am satisfied that Rick with a silent P has stated that they intend to properly reference contributions enough to give them a second chance. Questions regarding the reliability of sources relating to Kevin Keegan should be raised at Talk:Kevin Keegan where editors more familiar with and interested in the subject matter can weigh in. signed,Rosguill talk 17:05, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
