"Is a" reminds me to double check the agreement of my subjects and verbs. The name "is a" was not available (because users are called "isa", etc.), so I chose "is not a". is a 00:20, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

MastCell Talk 06:56, 6 February 2015 (UTC)It is a violation of site policy to use an alternate account (like this one) to edit combatively on contentious topics while avoiding scrutiny on your main account (see WP:SCRUTINY and WP:GHBH). You may edit using your main account (provided it is not subject to pre-existing sanctions) but you may not continue to use this alternate account in this manner.

Appeal[edit]MastCell (talk · contribs) needs to present evidence to support his accusations and administrative action, which he calls "bold".... (Perhaps he could consider whether another explanation is more likely or simpler, besides trying to find facts that seem to be explained by his hypothesis whilst ignoring others. Certainly he should, as I shall show.) MastCell accused me in his template above of "editing combatively on contentious articles" when he tried to justify his block announced at ANI [4]. He also accused me of "WP:GHBH", which links to "disruptive editing or vandalism", falsehoods that of course cannot be supported by evidence. He certainly presented no evidence of my being a sockpuppet, so I won't waste time defending myself against his utterly unsubstantiated accusation. On the contrary, a look at the histories of the articles I edited before shows even more clearly that I was following policy and that my concerns have been shared by others at WP:BLPN and at WP:AfD discussions. These articles are listed on User page. A look at my editing history shows rather that I have tried to follow the WP:BRD policy---extremely successfully with Fag Army, Donbass Association Malmö, Russian National Association, Jehovah's Witnesses in Sweden, Seventh-day Adventist Church of Tonga, and George Benson - and with headaches on Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland, and Neoconservatism.
Thus, the statement that I have been editing combatively on contentious articles is misleading, grossly distorting the truth that I have been productively editing on contentious articles - at least articles free from Ubikwit. The talk page histories and noticeboard discussions (RS, BLP) show that my editing has been compliant with policy, especially on the articles on which Ubikwit has been active. Those histories also show that Collect (talk · contribs) and Rjensen (talk · contribs) have also been attacked by Ubikwit, just as I have been. Editor Collect has previously documented that Ubikwit has been sanctioned by Arbcom repeatedly and been at ANI so many times that Ubikwit was nearly banned from ANI; the diffs are in Collect's discussion at the current ANI thread. Finally, I repeat that on the articles and lately also at the discussion boards, I have left Collect (talk · contribs) and Rjensen (talk · contribs) to try to protect Wikipedia and living persons from non-compliant edits - partly because I prefer not to deal with Ubikwit's walls of text, sourcing, and personal attacks (like the SPI accusations that I was Kagan). Again, I am sorry to have to have mentioned Ubikwit in defending myself against an improper indefinite block, but MastCell's accusations needed to be rebutted. I shall hereafter avoid and ignore Ubikwit, as I have done even while contesting the improper IBAN, except as I need to defend myself against unjust accusations. (Of course, I request a two-way IBAN with Ubikwit.) Sincerely, is a 08:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC) Comment - I have had some relatively minor disagreements with User:Is not a. His assessment of the discussion about the article George Benson is accurate enough, and he did eventually concede to the point I had made about categorisation of articles about people, though it was a few days later. I haven't seen anything in my personal experience that I think would necessitate an indefinite block. I'm not aware of the circumstances of the block.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:56, 6 February 2015 (UTC) Response by an administrator[edit]![]() Is not a (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Decline reason: I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons.

As invited by the blocking administrator, MastCell, I have resumed editing in my old account, Dear ODear ODear, which was never used during time that User:Is_not_a was active, in compliance with WP policy . LLAP, Dear ODear ODear 10:24, 6 March 2015 (UTC) |
In any event, following the suggestion by MastCell that I was welcome to resume my old account, this account won't be used---a loss for those of us who don't like silly and long usernames. :(
Please don't write here.
Please write at my active talk page.
