Your addition to Wang Guangyi has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AmeOnTheLoose. Thank you.

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of AmeOnTheLoose (talk · contribs · global contribs · page moves · user creation · block log) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. 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.

This blocked 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). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

Hi, I'm really sorry for this misunderstanding. I had to create a new account because I've lost the passworld of my previous one and, since I made the registration without my email address, I couldn't recover my password. Can you help me please?

Decline reason:

Checkuser report in the sockpuppet investigation confirmed the link between the accounts. The explanation below is not convincing. Euryalus (talk) 11:06, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first and then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page for as long as you are blocked.

That explains why you created a second account, but not why you created several accounts. Can you clarify that? JamesBWatson (talk) 15:31, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! I didn't create the account of Foskow86 but he's collaborating with me because we are both pasionate to Wang Guangyi's work. He told me he will clarify its position soon. As reguard OttoP1234, I made the same passworld mistake. 16:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So you had an account with which you edited from 16 December 2013 until 12:06, 21 January 2014, and by 12:12, 21 January 2014 you had forgotten the password to the account and created a new account? JamesBWatson (talk) 13:25, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to prevent any bona fide editor from contributing to the project, but I'd like to see some explanation of how and why Foskow86 knew to make his first-ever edit on Italian wikipedia five minutes after FrankStardust posted for the first time on the same page. This problem, which involves copyright violation as well as apparent sockpuppetry, affects four wikis; I've left some explanation on the talkpage of the Italian Wang Guangyi article. I believe that de. and es. wikis should also be notified (I read those languages, but do not write well enough in either to do that myself). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:53, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's because me and Foskow86 are collaborating and we are in touch. We didn't know it was against Wiki's rule. We are both passionate in Contemporary Art and in Wang Guangyi's work so we wanted to create a good article about him and his work. I don't think there is a copyright violation since I've recently emailed Demetrio Paparoni and Sara Boggio and they both said they are fine with what we wrote. They also told me they can email Wikipidia (if this is possible) and confirm it. It would be a real pity to leave the article about Wang Giangyi so bare because this diminish his work. FrankStardust 17:59, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, JamesBWatson! I don't remeber the dates, but what happened was that I created a new account just after I tried to log in and realized I couldn't remember the password. I forgot it because I was already logged in evary time I was on wikipedia but after a certain nuber of days there was an automatic log out. Sorry I didn't answer earlier, I haven't noticed your question before today. FrankStardust 14:15, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That may be true, but it does seem surprising to me that the automatic logout should take place within minutes of your last edit. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:29, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to demeonstrate it... but you can see I didn't use the account under the name of AmeOnTheLoose after I made the FrankStardust one. FrankStardust 09:45, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I'm sorry to submit a second unblock request, I hope you don't get annoyed. But the point is that my first account - AmeOnTheLoose - was unblocked but I still don't have the password. Could you please help me to recover it? I made the registration without the email address so I don't know how to do it. This is the only reason why I made this second account. Please, Please, Please! I made a mistake but in bona fide. Wikipedia's rules are pretty long and complicated for a novice user. I undestood my mistake, I will not do it again, and I will make productive contributions to Wikipedia. Thank you. 21 February 2014 14:14(UTC). FrankStardust (talk) 10:00, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You seem to be editing under your other name now so there's no reason to unblock this account. only (talk) 15:08, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
