Notice of noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Requesting second opinions". Thank you.

Regarding the article you recreated, which I'm still not sure about, I've posted a request at the administrators' noticeboard for uninvolved editors to have a look. This notice is required by process. Please comment at the noticeboard if you like. Thanks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:48, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Ivanvector I have responded on the page. Although I may get water-boarded I thank you for giving me this forum to explain myself. (TheycallmeDoug (talk) 20:19, 28 March 2017 (UTC))

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Reviewing admin please see Administrators' noticeboard. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:55, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Actually, I'll offer a quick summary of why I blocked: My conclusion is that there is an organized attempt to promote this company and that this account is caught up in it in some way. It's possible that it was originally innocent, but I think we have seen a clear attempt at covering up those first edits to related articles and continued evasion since then. TheycallmeDoug says he has had contact with the company (to "ask permission" to recreate the film article), but it seems very likely that is not the full extent of the communication between them (and one specific question I asked abut the source of the text for the article was not answered).

 * The User:Melchor44 account edited only articles about Ave Fenix Pictures, and people, films and events related to it - an area in which a (probably paid) sock farm was operating. Several of those articles were deleted.
 * The User:Melchor44 account was abandoned just before User:TheycallmeDoug was created, the day after one of those articles (about a film) had been salted, and we had a sudden change to editing articles not related to Ave Fenix Pictures.
 * Then a couple of weeks later, User:TheycallmeDoug asked an admin to restore the deleted article, Arise from Darkness, and when that was declined created a new version of it at User:TheycallmeDoug/sandbox - without disclosing any previous editing in this area. The new sandbox article contained a howling spelling error (the name of the subject of the article!) that was also in the last deleted version of the article, and I'd say that's evidence that TheycallmeDoug had access to the text of the deleted article. They claimed it was made by reference to the es.wiki version (es:Arise from Darkness), but that version did not contain the error (and was very similar in format to the deleted en.wiki version, despite being created after the latter was deleted).
 * None of these issues has been adequately addressed, and instead we see waffly non-answers like "not being coherent to Wikipedia's guidelines" and "one sided and only cohesive to one particular subject matter".
