You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Shell  babelfish 22:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Note: Forgot to note in the block log; block is based on checkuser data. Shell  babelfish 22:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Unblock request

 * The above block notice tells me to use the unblock template if I want to be unblocked. Yvonne Liu 14:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It does, but I am advising you that a regular administrator may not unblock you. You can wait to see if a Checkuser is patrolling the unblock queue, but you might have a more expeditious resolution from emailing the arbcom directly.  In any case, since I have already declined and given my advice (both to you and to any other administrator who might act on your unblock) there is nothing more that I can do here. Syrthiss (talk) 14:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * If as you say regular administrators are not allowed to unblock a Checkuser block, then why did you act on the case if only a Checkuser can? Yvonne Liu 14:23, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Because my action is within the bounds of what an Administrator may do regarding a checkuser block: procedurally decline (as I have no reason to believe that Shell was not acting in good faith as a member of Arbcom and therefore privy to checkuser information, and considering Fred Bauder gave an implicit confirmation) and to advise you on a possible path to resolution of your question.

 * Fred Bauder just gave me a sock award. I don't think that is appropriate to imply that I was socking for someone else's sockpuppetry. Yvonne Liu 14:34, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have an email address that I can use just for Wikipedia. I keep my work email private. If this will take a long time for a resolution, then I will wait patiently. Yvonne Liu 14:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I will have to create an email account to make an appeal then. Well at least I know that it's not my editing history that is a problem.  But other user's sockpuppetry that is giving me a problem. Yvonne Liu 14:48, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually, you can use the 'email this user' function from the left panel when you view the page at User:Arbitration Committee if you don't want to deal with creating an email address just to email them. It will tell them that the email is from whichever email you have set in your user preferences when you registered. Syrthiss (talk) 14:56, 27 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I will use whatever is convenient to me. Yvonne Liu 15:05, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
