You have been blocked indef by MBisanz (talk · contribs) for apparent sockpuppetry. This is currently being discussed at WP:AN. I am willing to unblock you to enable you to present your case, if you promise to refrain from all mechanical or bot edits during that time. For now, somebody made a transclusion so that any posting you make on this page (outside these noinclude tags) is going to be transcluded to WP:AN. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, the noinclude tags explain why this isn't appearing on the AN thread. Betacommand, I too am willing to unblock pending an explanation below of this edit. That is the only edit I would want to see an explanation for. Carcharoth (talk) 10:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Betacommand's response to WP:AN

Betacommand, please respond here:

I was attempting to start over under a new username, I was every careful to avoid editing the same pages, and the edit at WP:BOT was an accident. I think this issue has been taken far far out of context. WP:SOCKs may be blocked for being abusive, how as that sock be used abusively? see this for a listing of all overlaping pages. other than random cleanup there is no overlap except for the one error on WP:BOT β^_command 13:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I reported a problem on this talk page on 20 April 2008 at User talk:Betacommand/20080401#Defaultsort and I would like to know why I did not get a reply. On 15 May 2008, I reported a similar problem and I reported it again on this talk page, and I am also waiting for a reply to the second problem. Snowman (talk) 11:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

im sorry it got lost the first time in other stuff. β^_command 15:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Betacommand, I've proposed an unblock here. If you could be patient and wait for those two hours, I'd appreciate it. If you want to respond to any objections people raise, please use the section above as before. Meanwhile, would you consider answering Snowman's question up above while waiting? If not, don't worry, but it would be good if you could. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 13:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've now unblocked you. The other accounts (three I think, two alternates and one bot) and the page undeletions, I've left for others to handle. I suggest you present your case at the AN thread or the appropriate venue to ask for the bot flag back or for the other accounts to be unblocked. If you could find the time to answer Snowman's question as well, that would be good, along with the other stuff about the DEFAULTSORT edits. Carcharoth (talk) 14:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
