User talk:Giz Widget 2

I want to embed a video on my user page, but it isn't working. How do I do this, and will Wikipedia even let me?

Hi there, what kind of video are you trying to embed? Andy^talk 23:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you can't use youtube videos on wikipedia or any wiki site, the html used isn't permitted. Andy^talk 23:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of Gizwidget (talk • contribs • block log • creation log). As a blocked or banned user you are not entitled to edit Wikipedia. All of your edits have been reverted.

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).

Request reason:

I am not a sockpuppet. Sure, I have a similar name to Gizwidget, and I'm the same user, but I created this account after Gizwidget was blocked for having a sockpuppet under the name Wizgidget, which was not created by me. I didn't argue about that one, because I thought it would be okay if I just started a new profile and forgot about it. But now you people come back and say that I can't have an account with a similar name to one that was blocked unjustly. Have I made any harmful edits? Not any that I know of. All I've done in my short time here has been editing my userpage and providing pictures to a few articles. Please remove this block immediately. Giz Widget 2 00:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Decline reason:

While Gizwidget is blocked, you are not permitted to have ANY other account on Wikipedia, nor to edit any article on Wikipedia. If you believe the block on your parent account was invalid, discuss it there. Please do not create abusive sockpuppets such as this to get around an existing block. — Yamla 00:57, 9 May 2007 (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.

Request reason:

How is this account abusive? I have made No harmful edits of any sort. Why can't you just leave me be? I did not create this account as a sockpuppet or to vandalize Wikipedia. My main goal with creating this profile was to make a unique and interesting user page. I only used this template because I know it will be read and it is the only way to respond to Yamla.

Decline reason:

If you have been blocked, creating another account is never a good idea, even if it was in good faith. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 04:21, 9 May 2007 (UTC) — Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 04:21, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
