User talk:Stoofy t

Unblock-en-l request
This requests came from an online email provider, and the email address was functional as the user was able to respond to my query.

Hello,
 * Sat, Aug 2, 2008 at 9 38 PM

I'm unable to edit my talk page, so I can't go through the unblock request process that way. Hersfold mentioned in his message that the message back to my profile address bounced - this is the current address linked to my account, so I did make sure that my preferences were set to allow messages from other users.

The block was originally placed on my account because my user name was similar to that of a user Me toofy, who had apparently made several disruptive edits. This is the only user name I've ever used on Wikipedia. There were a couple of edits registered to my account that were definitely not positive contributions - both are linked on my talk page. I don't remember editing the Grover Cleveland page, but won't deny that happening; and user Bozebus17 is a close friend of mine. The one edit was a joke (in fact, Bozebus17 was with me when I did that), and the other edit (reference to "home brewing") was a serious addition to his list of hobbies. Neither was intended as a personal attack. As you'll see from my other edits, those are the only questionable edits I've made.

Thanks for your time,

I couldn't find your username to look into this, what is it? Also, please copy and paste the block message.

Sorry about that... my username is Stoofy t. Here is the original block message:
 * Sun, Aug 3, 2008 at 11 12 AM


 * Abusing multiple accounts: probable account of User:Me toofy. Contact the unblock list if incorrectly placed

And the second message on my talk page:

My thoughts
The vandalism was a year ago, and it did come alongside some good faith edits. Since the user takes responsibility for their actions, and could've easily just registered a new account, I don't really see a need to maintain this block. – xeno  ( talk ) 15:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The email that bounced was not because of Wikipedia - Comcast claimed that "no such customer" existed at that address, implying to me this was a bogus email address. This username does bear a significant relationship to the vandal Toofy and his other accounts, who has tried to trick us previously. Also, she admits this account was at one point controlled by another person, and it's generally SOP to leave such accounts blocked unless it can be proven they have regained control. If you're willing to unblock this account, I won't stop you, but I wouldn't do it myself, as the explanations above don't seem to line up to me. Hers fold  non-admin (t/a/c) 22:54, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
