Recent edit to Glenrothes
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Glenrothes, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

 * If you are not a sock of User:Doughnuthead, as you yourself claimed here, then your account is compromised and we still have to keep the account blocked. Ian.thomson (talk) 09:46, 14 October 2015 (UTC)


 * So, your justification for why we should unblock you is that you violated your ban. Uh... No.  Talk page access revoked.
 * If you really want to help the site by starting a new account, forget about your old account. WP:CLEANSTART is technically a valid option.  If you're truly over your past mistakes, then WP:CLEANSTART won't be a problem.  Ian.thomson (talk) 11:23, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * A clean start is not a valid option, Ian. "A clean start is not permitted if there are active bans, blocks or sanctions (including, but not limited to those listed here) in place against the old account." Kuru   (talk)  11:58, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * True, but if he never revealed himself ever again, never gave anyone any reason to think he was Doughnuthead, and became a model Wikipedian (upholding the five pillars) under a new account, would the ban be enforceable? I am not saying that the ban would be uplifted or that any previous accounts would be unblocked: if anyone found out who he was, it's back to being blocked. Ian.thomson (talk) 12:12, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ian.thomson, openly encouraging a banned editor to evade his or her ban is totally unacceptable. Editors have been indefinitely blocked for less than that, and for an administrator to do so is absolutely appalling. You are, in effect, saying "you would stand a good chance of getting away with it, so go ahead and do it". What kind of standard is that for an administrator to uphold? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, fine. Statement withdrawn.  I did not mean it to be encouragement to go against the five pillars, but to follow them.  Ian.thomson (talk) 08:31, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
