Your email
... which I have received and considered, does not address the reasons for your block, namely sockpuppeting and self-promotion. More so, it indicates to me that you are likely to continue with the same conduct if unblocked. You may wish to appeal this refusal to the Arbitration Committee, and I will make your email available to them, but I advise that you read this first. Rodhull andemu  18:39, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. I wrote an e-mail to the Arbitration Committee yesterday. I mentioned that you will send them the e-mail with the letter I wrote to Sir Paul McCartney. Robert van der Velden (talk) 13:34, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

... today's email received. No, I have not heard from the ArbCom, but they are usually pretty busy. I will respond when I hear from them. Rodhull andemu  18:18, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your swift reply Robert van der Velden (talk) 10:12, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I still did not get a response from the Arbitration Committee. Rodhullandemu, can you please inform me about any possible steps to take? The Virtualizer should be deleted and the Robert van der Velden account unblocked. Do keep in mind that if I am the real Doctor Robert from the 1966 Beatles' song, Wikipedia keeps publishing articles that harm my reputation. Not the English one, but today I deleted the mentioning of drug references in the song on the Dutch article once again. Also the sources referred to in this article are unreliable. I started that article and it's no. 1 in the Google ranking of 'Doctor Robert' from where I am. Robert van der Velden (talk) 09:29, 6 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I notified User:Rodhullandemu about your request, and will leave it for his response. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:48, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
 * This account is blocked for sockpuppetry rather than any other issue, and I suggest that an unblock request should be made at User Talk:Virtualizer. However, it seems that this editor is still pushing the view that John Lennon wrote the song "Doctor Robert" - a song about a drug supplier- about him, when this editor was two years old. That I find hard to believe in the extreme and why I still maintain that this user should direct any further unblock requests to ArbCom via email. Meanwhile, my email archive has expired any messages relating to this user. Rodhull  andemu  15:00, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry will no longer happen with this IP-address. I will no longer bother you with issues that you find hard to believe. Fact is however, that now the quality of the English article about Doctor Robert is much higher than the Dutch one. It doesn't have the drug references the Dutch one has and doesn't use unreliable sources. Furthermore, 'rhythm guitar' and 'lead guitar' are very poorly translated in Dutch.Robert van der Velden (talk) 07:35, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Update
I believe I've made my own position plain, and given your editing history here, I'm not prepared to move from it. I've retained you recent emails to me, which I am prepared to make available to the Arbitration Committee should you seek to make a further appeal to them. However, it's obvious that you are a single-purpose account, pushing a fringe theory, without any credible evidence, and promoting your artistic career. None of these is acceptable to Wikipedia, so kindly do not email me again. It's nothing personal, my times in the Netherlands and Amsterdam in particular, have been, er, very entertaining and educational, and I have never met a nasty Dutch person, even in Hilversum.
