Another ANI thread for your enjoyment[edit]

Please see here. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 02:22, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits, logged in and as an IP, appear to be clearly violating our rules against promotion and advertising activity on Wikipedia.

Even if you're not associated with the magazine, this behavior is not OK. It has to stop.

Please review the policy. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 02:41, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I did copyvio from that magazine's site, I used it because it was written by Men's Health to sell subscriptions and it did a good job of just talking about the content. Everything else was adding sources. I didn't remove sourced criticism, I added it. I did remove something from Cameron Scott that was false and not in the source, that is the sum total of any grudge or attacks. I don't know who any of them are but if this is how Delicious carbuncle acts then I guess they would have grudges held against them. They added "Conflict if Interest" and besides the external links- all 22 were to official language editions of the magazine - has offered nothing but accusations. They did an investigation and this is another thread filled with with hunt rhetoric. I never attacked anyone, all I did was add sourced content, besides the one which I tried to summarize but still meets a copyvio problem I was putting in exactly the information the encyclopedia should have with sources. When everything was deleted you removed not just the one copyvio section but all the other stuff was fine. If anyone has a grudge it is Delicious carbuncle against Men's Health, they seem locked horns in preventing it from being improved with sourced content. Can someone whose not making things up about attacking please look at everything besides the copyvio and see if it's OK? I was most certainly not promoting or advertising, I was adding in content as I found it. Even the negagtive stuff which promotion would certainly not do.

Your username[edit]

I have reported your username to the authorities for proper handling. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because your username is clearly intended as an attack on a particular reputable and experienced editor (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames, and trolling or other disruptive behavior is not tolerated. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Dcahole (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

My last name is Cahole, I entered it as dcahole and it capitalized the D. This issue has never occurred until the one editor who simply has a grudge against Men's Health kept after me. If I can't have my account with my name what can it be then?

Decline reason:

Even if your explanation of your username is correct (which is doubtful) there are enough other problems with your editing history to justify keeping the block, including promotional editing, edit warring, and probable sockpuppetry. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:10, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Note to Admin: The user's first few edits, a few days, including the very first one,[1] targeted Delicious Carbuncle. His unblock request suggests he goes back farther than that with DC, so he might be also be admitting to being a sock. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:37, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It has been claimed that the user here has had many IP socks, including the recent one 71.139.18.157 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:49, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is my IP address, of course it's me!

Add User:71.139.11.47 and User:71.139.5.184 to the list of recent IPs. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 20:04, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not mine!

I was reading the Men's Health article and when I refreshed the screen a big "Conflict of Interest" notice splashed. I looked at the article and although mostly positive did not read like the good folk's at Men's Health - who write for a living! - had much to do with it. They have offices globally, wouldn't you gather they could knock out a history of the company in hours. Delicious Carbuncle targeted me when i asked him for specific reasons to add the "Conflict of Interest" notice. Get your facts correct please. Dcahole (talk) 19:46, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To save on typing, I'll just refer reviewing admins to this diff. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 19:56, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All I have done is try to work on the article, my name is certainly not attack and it's rude to insinuate so. Dcahole (talk) 19:48, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To put it a little more directly than DC did: What was your previous wikipedia ID? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:00, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't had one, I only rarely looked things up.

That COI tag was added nearly 17 hours before you first posted. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:13, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't you already do this?

71.139.18.157 is certainly Dcahole. (The whole editing history indicates as much, and this edit announces the fact.) I have no idea whether the others are. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:19, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dcahole (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was not "promotional editing", I added the sourced criticisms to the article. I did do a "copyvio" edit but since the magazine itself wrote it I thought it was ok. The rest of this nonsense is a pile of accusations. The tag on the article explicitly asked for more sources and that's what I was doing. I'm sorry if what is written about the world's most popular men's magazine is generally positive, maybe they are tops for a reason? I'm not sure if I should trouble to try to improve any articles here because I've gotten nothing but ill will, false accusations and all my good sourcing has been removed simply because one administrator thinks he's so important that I would make a vulgar take on them. I had heard how people were treated here and did not believe it until now. And of course 71.139.18.157 is my IP, I said it was.

Decline reason:

I think you missed the whole "inappropriate username" thing. Jayron32 05:55, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I don't now how to explain it any better - that's my name. Can I change my user name instead?

Decline reason:

First, you have to tell us what you'd like to change it to. Second, explain your hostility to Delicious Carbuncle Toddst1 (talk) 06:37, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
