:Oh yes, your example revision. Well, that was because the caption was changed to ProfYana, ''with a full explanation'', and the anon changed it back without one.

I am contacting the blocking admin to sort this out. Please bear with me for a day or two. Cheers! ] 18:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Further evidence that I am not MrClaxson. If you review all my edits on ip 83.105.96.154 (which I used before I had this account) you will see that I did not sign any of my comments until Rambutan told me how to here http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:83.105.96.154 . (I didn't sign them because I didn't know how to). If you look at the postings of MrClaxson and his alleged sock puppets you will find that most if not all are signed.
Moreover Misplaced Pages guidance says you should assume Good Faith. Akhilleus has not done this. No one has complained that I am a sock puppet - Akhilleus has assumed bad faith on my part because I questioned his decision that MrClaxson was a sock puppet. Moreover Akhilleus has failed to respond to any of my emails to discuss this matter - even if he does not agree with me this would be the courteous thing to do, and what I was led to believe would happen from the guidance given to me at the time the block was placed. ] 08:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

== Unblock ==

After discussing it with the blocking admin and taking a few days to look over everything & make sure things were well-considered, I have unblocked you. I hope you use this as an opportunity to (continue to) improve Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. ] 15:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

==Rambutan==

The irony of Rambutan's actions is that I do not know of a single case where he did not revert to the best available version. He has been a vigilent defender of the Doctor Who articles. The problem is that he has been too vigilent. The edit in question was a small revert, and a correct one.

:I know you're not his sock, but that doesn't mean that he isn't.

== re: Rush ==
Instead of questioning a very clear edit summary, perhaps you should go back and read the Rush FA discussion process to find out which version was decided upon by concensus. I read all FA discussion pages before I edit them. Don't you? All editors should. Also... the editor who keeps re-adding the non-concensus text is an IP sock of ] who is permanently blocked from Misplaced Pages. Again... if you would just do your homework, you wouldn't have made the mistake of questioning my edit. ] 14:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
::I will apologize for assuming that, since you have been here awhile, you would know that an FA is a featured article. It's such a basic and rooted part of what Misplaced Pages is I figured anyone who's made over 50 edits should know that. I had over 20000 edits as a logged user before I determined that usernames were completely useless and only good for those seeking administrator status(a nomination I declined more than a dozen times) I edit simply for encyclopedic quality and do not desire any personal "Wiki-fame". Misplaced Pages was built on the contributions of anonymous editors. As an IP editor I have amassed another 20000+ edits. My co-workers are also anon Wiki editors so it appears as though 1 editor has 40000+ edits. But they are shared among my co-workers and I. That being said, we've seen just about everything there is to see here. And Alterego269 edits are so easy to spot even for editors who've only seen a few of them. Tagging an IP sock is easy when the editor uses the same modus operandi. He will appear tomorrow with a different IP. Some of his edits are good, some aren't(like the Rush edit). Having been here for so long my ] is stretched very thin and I reserve it for only a few who have earned it. Alterego269 has not done that although someday he may. He sometimes edits from a school IP so I expect he is just a teen-ager and has a lot to learn. If you need any help here feel free to ask me. I've been here as long as there's been a project to be here for. I have many Wiki-admin friends who can assist you if you require it. Good luck with your future contributions.

== Hi ==
Haha - , that feels like it happened so long ago. Buddy, I honestly didn't mean any nastiness from it... adding the <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tag seemed like an inventive sort of way to convey how I was feeling at the time. And you have to admit it was rather suspicious of the anon to say something like that. You were right not to say anything at the time and I was wrong to say anything like that.
From that point I don't think I made another accusation of calling you a sock puppet so I don't understand: "I am well and truly fed up of the accusations." - Unless I have missed something? - It takes a hefty list of evidence to accuse someone of being a sockpuppet and, if anything, I purely said what I said for a comical effect (It may not have been funny for you).

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
