Let me know if you have any questions. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 09:01, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's ok, kelapstick. Sorry, it won't happen again. I sincerely thank you for helping me create my own wiki-user account.

Thank you

Hi Earlybird, thank you for your comments. I didn't delete them completely, but I did go ahead and archive them. While I don't do formal adoptions, I'm glad to help out; feel free to drop by my talk page anytime with questions you might have. Drmies is a fine and helpful editor, and you'll also get good advice from him whether or not he adopts you formally. LadyofShalott 17:28, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lady, K: no good deed goes unpunished. Drmies (talk) 22:25, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Help, please

What have I done wrong this time? Just received this message: This user is currently blocked. The latest block log entry is provided below for reference: 21:57, 3 May 2012 Tnxman307 (talk | contribs) blocked Earlybirdofthewest (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of indefinite (block evasion). I hope it is in error, because my username was created with the help of three distinguished wikipedians: Drmies, LadyofShalott, and --kelapstick(bainuu). Please help me...

I will post the appropriate block message below; in it are instructions for how to request an unblock. For the next admin who comes along: please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Festes/Archive; this user was blocked by Tnxman after CU. Drmies (talk) 23:08, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

May 2012

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Drmies (talk) 23:09, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Drmies and LadyofShalott

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).

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

Request reason:

Your reason here Dear Drmies and LadyofShalott please have faith in me. I am not a dirty person. I have never used another username or made any significant edits on Wikipedia. Why would I need two usernames? I have yet to learn how to utilize the one I already have. Yes, my circumstances make me look suspicious, but you both know why. I have been so honest with you that it really hurts on the inside when you do not believe me. And, Dr. Mies, if you look at my page-history I haven't voted against you because I thought you were right. Just take a look, please. Please do not break my heart before I even started to do something that I thought I would be proud of. All you have to do is give me a Skype address and I'll call you with video and you keep just audio, and that would prove my identity. I am not a bad person, I am not. Please do not make me lose faith in the human nature so early in my life. I am going to be 19 next month and I do not want to feel like a looser who does not succeed even when trying to be good and honest. Respectfully,Earlybirdofthewest (talk) 03:01, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This account was used from the same computer as another account, which in turn was used from the same computer as a number of other accounts. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 03:18, 5 May 2012 (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.

I'll leave this for someone else to accept or decline. However, because a CheckUser (CU) made the block, I think a CU would have to be the one to accept. WBotW, you can point to the post you made on my talk page if you want. LadyofShalott 03:07, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- All I need from you is to tell me that you believe me, LadyofShalott. Do you? Anyhow, I think I will give up. I Just do not have the stomach for this.I am sad, right now. Thank you anyway. --Earlybirdofthewest (talk) 03:20, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
