You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. On the basis of your comment on my talk page, I believe that you are a sock puppet of (who has appeared under various other accounts).. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Nick-D (talk) 11:09, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * You sign up and immediately appear on my talk page asking that I reinstate an article on an obscure topic I deleted shortly after it was created by a long-running block evader. That's more than a little bit suspicious... Nick-D (talk) 11:18, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Here's a deal. You restore the article on the Flag Society of Australia.

My lawyer has informed me that, theoretically, if I was to use wikipedia to committ a telecommunications offence, the police would have to lay charges, they would have to track you down and obtain a statement, and, if I pleaded not guilty, they would have to hand over that statement to me as part of the brief. And the name on the statement would not be Nick-D.

I think you will agree this compromise represents a good outcome for you.

Note that the sockmaster here,, stated that he or she is a member of the Australian Flag Society and was editing to promote that organisation's views (see: User talk:Gloriousrevolution). This editor keeps coming back under various accounts to create articles on Australian flag related organisations and push their POV. Nick-D (talk) 11:43, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Now that you are suing Wikipedia, WP:LEGAL requires that you cannot be unblocked until your lawsuit has concluded. From now until then, you should only communicate with the Wikimedia Foundation through the foundation's attorney. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:13, 5 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Does that rule take effect from now, or the moment the Statement of Claim, Writ, or Summons is filed?


 * I can find out who you people are through entirely lawful, peaceful and legitimate means.
