Has very similar name to Mistress Selina Kyle and has the same intrest in Batman that the screencap on Selina's Wikipedia Review posts have. She has also been much more active on the review as of late, proving that she is active on the web. Thebirdlover (talk) 05:54, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I didn't make any attempt to hide it, I wouldn't call it sockpuppetry really - I was figuring enough years (and when I say years, I mean literally years) have passed now for things to be treated a bit more maturely now? Bearing in mind that I was mainly banned for stuff I didn't myself do but for associating with suppressive persons at Wikipedia Review? Most people agreed Linuxbeak was right to unban me, and a few people commented that the people who claimed they had left never actually did and were just posturing:

I just never even bothered challenge it because the corruption seemed so rife it made me give up on Wikipedia... It was a lynch mob from cliques of friends known to work together on secret IRC channels, abuse of the emailuser function and secretly-run mailing lists (which break the whole idea of transparency that Wikipedia is meant to have, and I think al ot of people would agree this attitude has seriously corroded it more and more over time from what it could have been if the "open talk pages" vision had kept up)

Yeah, I got into a few arguments, but so did everybody, if you look at that Wikipedia Review seems to be the main reason I was banned which is against current blocking policy and the failed WP:BADSITES?

The attacks on Linuxbeak and the fake leaving of Wikipedia to put pressure on him seemed to get the result desired in driving one of your most level-headed, kind, users off the wiki as well as me (I freely admit I can be rather fiery but I have got a lot better), reading back on it it really does look like people baying for blood, especially bad was lumping me intogether with Blu Aardvark who was a known anti-semitic troll (and banned from WR) --Mss.

You are currently listed as banned by the community. This was before my time so I can't really speak for them but people apparently thought you were disturbing the wiki. I don't want to come off as mean but the rules stated that I had to report you. --Thebirdlover (talk) 06:07, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

What you can do though is post an unblock request on your main account. Since you were blocked 4-5 years ago, they'll probably unblock you. --Thebirdlover (talk) 06:08, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I've heard of Blu Aardvark. I always thought he was just a very persistent troll. --Thebirdlover (talk) 06:13, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

And LinuxBeak I haven't heard of that much, I'm gonna see if the internet can tell me info on what happened. --Thebirdlover (talk) 06:14, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Being very familiar with this case (I was very active back then, and kinda involved) I agree that MSK should request an unblock on her original talk page and some discussion of an unban proposal happens in WP:AN/I. I think Selina reformed herself with some of her WR involvement, by banning racist trolls out of WR and preventing some types of ousting from the site, which made it much more readable and acceptance within the Wikipedia community. The main reason why she was banned in the first place was though her association with some of these banned users. I'll comment and give further evidence if needed.

Also note that a checkuser is stale here because it's been so long ago since MSK first got banned. A checkuser only goes as far as (last time i knew) three months. This is a sensitive matter so it should be discussed elsewhere, not here. Secret account 07:10, 28 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok I did it on User_talk:Mistress_Selina_Kyle --Mss. Selina Kyle (talk) 07:05, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Just wait and see, it's not going to be easy to unban you so quickly. Though I'm glad you ended your involvement with Blu Aardvark (who I became a victim of after being the administrator (former now) who finalized the ban) a very long time ago, it's still a sensitive matter to some of the older Wikipedians.
