Re:Information

You'll have to be clearer than that, sorry. Giant Snowman 09:27, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, the template {{height}} converts from metric to imperial, and vice versa, automatically - and displays both heights. Secondly the most recent edit in that list is 6 months old, and most are from 2012 or older. Do you have anything more recent showing disruption? Note that because of my comments under 'firstly' changing from metric to imperial, and vice versa is irrelevant and therefore non-actionable. Giant Snowman 21:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Thanks for bringing a smile to my morning at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Garamond Lethe.

Your previous account

Hi Baaarny, would you please share with me (or the Arbitration Committee) the username of your previous account (by email) so that I can confirm that there is no abuse of multiple accounts per Wikipedia:Clean start. I will hold the identity of that account in the strictest confidence and will delete the email after you tell me if you prefer. Thank you, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:37, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Callanecc: is this still a viable option now that I have become collateral damage in the recent carpet bombing of suspected socks? Or will the inevitable result be that this account stays blocked and my main account gets blocked too? Baaarny (talk) 15:11, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Still a possibility. In terms of working out if it's you hopefully behaviorally or failing that using CheckUser (which another CheckUser might be able to follow the trail and work it out) however they couldn't say anything publicly and I doubt it'd be worth following the trail. However now that you're blocked as a suspected sock I might need to discuss it with the person who blocked you (who is also a CheckUser).

Thanks. Baaarny (talk) 20:01, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Callanecc: I sent you the email as you requested. Have you had a chance to review this yet? Baaarny (talk) 06:35, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I got, it but I haven't had a chance to look at it in depth or consult the CU who blocked you. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:02, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've unblocked the account and removed the sock tag from your userpage after discussion with DeltaQuad and yourself by email. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:12, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Callanecc for resolving this. Baaarny (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
