I don't believe that I did anything wrong but that, of course, is for you to decide. Here's what happened. Rosattin (talk) 20:33, 10 August 2016 (UTC)


 * On August 7, a facebook user (name withheld to prevent outing) posted a message in the Forest Hills HS group on facebook stating that he had tried to change the graduation year for Simon & Garfunkel in Wikipedia but his update was rejected. He asked us if we could send him cites he could use.
 * Someone anonymously commented on Mlpearc's user talk page that he or she'd tried to update the year but was rejected. I don't know if this message was written by the facebook user but I suspect that it was.
 * I don't know what his IP address is/was or what his Wikipedia user name is.
 * I can tell you that my IP address is 108.234.94.111 which is an address assigned to AT&T U-verse. The IP address you show ( 67.5.232.216) is assigned to BellSouth, a carrier I don't use.
 * I contacted the facebook user and told him that I had the cites and would make the wikipedia change myself. I also told him to quit posting anonymously but he said he hadn't.
 * I commented on Mlpearc's user talk page asking if the cites I had would be sufficient. He said to go ahead.
 * I updated the article.

I have and always have had only one Wikipedia account. As you can see from my history, I've made a lot of edits. I take pride in being a contributor to Wikipedia. Did I err by talking to the other editor, the one whose edit was rejected? Did that make one of us a meatpuppet? I hope not. I'll do whatever I can to work this out.

I think I see a problem I apparently created. There are two users: Rosattin and ROsattin. They are both me. I switched from Rosattin to ROsattin to uppercase the first letter of my last name. I've got a long edit history under ROsattin. I think I screwed up today by logging in as Rosattin instead of ROsattin and making the edit. My password manager used the wrong account, I guess. Would you please remove the Rosattin account so this can never happen again. I'll keep using ROsattin. Thank you. ROsattin (talk) 05:02, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks like I did have 2 accounts

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
I'm closing this with no action. I don't see a strong case here, and I believe Rosattin.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:46, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Rosattin (talk) 04:34, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I've blocked Rosattin as requested. For such a short-lived report, this has been a mess since it was filed, and some of the inferences I drew didn't help matters. In any event, ROsattin is the older account, and the report should have been filed with ROsattin as the master. If a clerk wants to move the report before archiving it, that's fine. Or not.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
