Sockpuppet "accusation"
Hi there, ive logged in to this account after some weeks of absence (i clashed with someone and i thought it would be best if i avoid wiki for a while) and i have just found this text of yours, that i was sockpuppeting or something. Could you please elaborate on what foundation that "suspicion" was based on? Because i can assure you that i have never made another account for whatever reason. You can easily (?) see that i haven't logged into this account for some time now. Rka001 (talk) 23:24, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- You went away, a brand new account is created and takes up arguments exactly where you left off, editing from near where you live.
- That is a classic case of presumptive sockpuppetry. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 10:24, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, i can see that line of thinking. But it wasn't the case at all. The two (or presumably one) new account(s) had different issues with that user than i had. How did you know they would live in the near of my place? IP-wise? Could you tell me which location was given? As i said, i clashed, lost my cool, and went away to calm down for a couple of weeks. I thought it would be the best i could do. I would have never even thought about making new accounts, because that would be rather childish. I gave my final statement on that issue, and that was it. Wikiwork should be enjoyable, not a warzone. But now i find myself kinda criminalized. I didnt even get an email so i could defend myself. Just for being curious, did anybody think about the possibility that indeed somebody else could have problems with said user? So, what can i do now? I clearly want to have that alleged crime washed off my record. Thank you for your help and advice! Rka001 (talk) 16:46, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Explanation of the case
Hi Georgewilliamherbert. I wrote a pretty long post to your and others reply at AE. I then thought it was maybe too long so therefore I am bringing it up here instead. It is not about any content dispute etc. As I said there before I removed it, I think the pattern is clear and ask you to think about the diffs again and ask yourself if this is really acceptable. You can see that post here. You can also see my original request here, where the problem is better explained. Unfortunately, I had to cut down my request so some things is not so clear like it was. But I think it shows a clearly unacceptable editing. --IRISZOOM (talk) 03:41, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

No problem with the revert
GeorgeWilliamHerbert,
I have no problem with your revert of me on the ban policy board. The change I made was a bold one, so naturally, there was nothing to keep it from being reverted. I'll do as you suggest and start a discussion on the talk page for it. Thanks ! KoshVorlon. We are all Kosh 10:42, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Wait
Wait, dont close the AE just yet. This is not over, as this user keeps violating the same polices. AcidSnow (talk) 00:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Can you list recent diffs (since the AE started) which show that? On the AE page, please.
- Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 00:53, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Exactly what I plan to do. Just give me a moment; I just got on. AcidSnow (talk) 01:01, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Done. AcidSnow (talk) 01:02, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

You asked...
You asked for examples at the discretionary sanctions page for examples of sanctions without warnings. I have an example of a warning without awareness, which is why I'm commenting on that topic. It began with this, then I saw it became this, which I responded to with this and others added this, whereupon I posted this which has gone unanswered. Montanabw(talk) 01:55, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
