Self admitted sock see here:. I've address my concerns with the editor, advised them to post an unblock request on their page, this was then deleted. Looking for an uninvolved party to step in. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:16, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I can empathize with this user's confusion. From what I can discern (as a non-admin, so I don't have access to all the facts), the user was blocked for a spam username and told to request a name change. They did so, and the name change was granted, but the block was not lifted. They then appealed their block through the UTRS system, where it was closed, but no unblock occurred. No further instruction was given to the user as to how to proceed. As a seasoned editor, I don't know that I would have known what to do next; certainly a new user would be completely flummoxed by this. Better communication with the user would really have helped this situation. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:10, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
