User talk:Thomdave

Why have I been blocked? I am NOT a "sock puppet," contrary to the misstatements of SummerPhD or Toddst1. You people should be ashamed of yourselves! Thomdave (talk) 21:59, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed|1=1=I have been blocked for allegedly "abusing multiple accounts." I only have one Wikipedia account. I am not affiliated with MediaMNG in any way; I am neither he, nor did he "recruit me." Although it may seem unusual that a new user's first edit was an AFD discussion, the subject of the article in question is a personal friend. To indefinitely block my account seems to conflict with Wikipedia's own policies regarding new users. Rather than welcoming my input to the discussion, veteran users accused me of being a "sock" and summarily dismissed my contribution without even attempting to verify that I am independent individual. That unwarranted action is the only "thing fishy going on."Thomdave (talk) 17:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)}|decline=It is not merely unusual that a new user should have as a first edit a comment in WP:AfD; it is behaviour which we only ever see in editors with previous editing experience. Ipso facto you are either a sockpuppet or a meatpuppet, and either is not acceptable here.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 18:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)}} It seems, then, like you only joined Wikipedia to participate on your friend's behalf in a deletion discussion (unfortunately, since you did so without first reading the criteria on which the decision is based, your participation wasn't especially useful. Since you have now done what you came here for, why do you want to be unblocked?  Are there other edits you want to make? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
