This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Greg O'Connor, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Sundayclose (talk) 21:56, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Important notice
Sockpuppets and sockmasters not only can be blocked from editing. They can be banned permanently. Sundayclose (talk) 22:10, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, What is the problem here? I am working to improve references and quality of pages containing American Composers. I am from ASCAP, a non-profit organization for music composers in the US. Please explain on what grounds your sockpuppet accusations are based and the process of proving my identity. I would be glad to provide any information. Thank you.--Sigbates (talk) 00:21, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Removing legitimate templates is not improving the quality of the article. You don't need to provide any information about your identify. Wikipedia can easily determine that you and Gregsongs1 are the same person. Mr. O'Connor, if you continue on this path, you will be blocked and possibly banned. At that point you will have no input into the contents of the article, not even suggesting changes on the article's talk page. Take heed. You have been warned.

 * I am confused here. I have credible sources that I wish to add to this article for the purpose of greater accuracy. What do I have to do to be able to do this?  I am not a Mr. O'Conner or the "Gregsongs" user you are mentioning.  I can see from previous history that you and this user have both contributed to this article.  Is there some reason that you won't allow me to contribute to this article?  I have no affiliation with the person this article is about other than being from an organization that represents individuals with a similar occupation as the subject of this article. Please feel free to go through any Wikipedia sources or means to verify my identity. There is no issue in being an expert in American Composition and Sketch Comedy sources and contributing to a an article about a well known composer in the TV and Film industry.  Again, I have nothing to hide.  --Sigbates (talk) 00:50, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You know who you are. If you make unbiased, constructive changes to the article (and that does not include removing legitimate templates), there will not be a problem. If you continue to violate Wikipedia policies or refuse to edit collaboratively, there will be a formal sockpuppet investigation. Sundayclose (talk) 00:54, 19 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok well I'll tell you what, I am going to continue editing this article the way I had planned within my rights as a Wikipedia user. I am not hindering anyone else's contribution to this article in anyway shape or form. Collaborative contribution is what Wikipedia is all about and is the reason I am even editing on this article. If anything, you have prevented me from contributing an unbiased edit by providing threatening accusations.  Additionally, I have not seen any collaboration on your part with me today other than when you attempted to force me out of my right as a contributor to Wikipedia. If you have issue with any of the references or rewrites that I provide, you can graciously contact me here to discuss, but making accusations and pointing fingers is no way for a user to be acting on Wikipedia and quite frankly I find your demeanor thus far to be appalling.  If you would like to put this aside and contribute collaboratively, I am all for that.  Please do not accuse me again.  --Sigbates (talk) 01:08, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Again, removing legitimate templates and assuming ownership of an article in fact is hindering others' contributions and is not editing collaboratively; and it is not within your rights as a Wikipedia editor. This is the last time I repeat that point. You certainly have a right to edit within the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. Sundayclose (talk) 02:21, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Why did you remove the templates at the top of the Greg O'Connor article? They were also removed by repeatedly. Then you coincidentally came along after Gregsongs1 was warned again and again (and then he disappeared at exactly the same time you showed up) and edited only one article, and you removed the templates again. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. . . Sundayclose (talk) 02:29, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I didn't realize that I had removed the template at the top of the page by accident and after you mentioned something about it I did not remove it again. I simply wanted to contribute to the article and didn't realize I had deleted it.  As for the actions of Gregsongs1, I can't give reasoning for any of their actions but it should not be reflected upon my personal contributions to articles on wikipedia.  If the other user is responsible for repeatedly removing the templates, then why is my account the one that has been blocked? Please explain... Sigbates (talk) 02:39, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You removed them accidentally? I suppose just like Gregsongs1 removed them accidentally several times, then disappeared after you showed up. Your explanation is as weak as dishwater. Let's see if an administrator buys it, but don't hold your breath. You're not the first sockpuppet to use these excuses. I might have a little respect if you would be honest, but you were warned repeatedly, and then arrogantly said you would continue as usual. You really should not dig the hole deeper with flimsy excuses. But I'm going to stop commenting and wait to see what happens. Sundayclose (talk) 02:53, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
