Bad luck

Sorry you didn't make the cut, FWIW you had my support. Guy (Help!) 22:18, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Me too. I know you were a good arb and if you were willing to keep going after the last two years you had my unqualified support. But now you're free, or you will be soon enough. It's very liberating going back to being able to just do whatever you want. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:55, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Me three. I hope to see you around, Mz7 (talk) 21:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks all. It has been an honour to serve the community these past two years. That said, I look forward to my newfound free time. LFaraone 20:48, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

User needs to be investigated

There is a user ABriefPassing attempting to have some of my articles deleted. While that normally would be perfectly within his or her bounds, in this case I suspect sockpuppetry. It is weird the way this individual has suddenly created an account, out of the blue, with the sole intention going after my articles and no one else's--the edior's whole claimed reason for existence is to go after non-notable articles, but why just certain ones of mine--there more than enough others? I don't understand the need for that kind of fixation. The individual claims to have been editing prior to this occasion as an unregistered user, which may or may not be true. This editor claims to have created the article on the Deep years ago (that article's creator was HelloWiki), but seems to have forgotten to old password (strange). Some of the other editors who have worked on that article may share identity with this user. Could we take a check on this user to see if there is any sockpuppetry going on?

There is also an editor, user:GSS-1987, who made a comment on the Soul Survivors' and Henry Flynt deletion deletion pages, who is of questionable origin. The individual seems pretty well-versed for having less than 2000 edits. Garagepunk66 (talk) 20:08, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello there can you please share the link where i made comment for deletion as i don't remember that i made any comment for deletion on Soul Survivors' deletion page. Regards GSS (talk) 20:20, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Found it its Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Soul Survivors (Denver Band) as per my duty i just added delsort to the pages (as am doing on all pages which required delsort). Here where i found these 2 pages which needed delsort Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2015 December 12. Regards GSS (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Garagepunk66:, can you take this to WP:SPI? LFaraone 20:47, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

I will, but I'm not used to doing these things--all I do is write, and up until now I have not had to get involved in something like this. I'm going to need help. Garagepunk66 (talk) 23:53, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

GSS-1987, you didn't make any remarks to delete, but your singiture was there--that may be standard procedure, so I'm sorry. But, I clicked into your user pages/history/profile and had some questions going on in my head (please forgive me if I am being unfair). You are very knowledgeable for having less than 2000 edits. I don't mean any harm, but right now I am being singled out for attack by a vehement deletionist, and I have to take everything into account and leave no stone unturned. Please don't take this badly--I mean no harm. Garagepunk66 (talk) 00:29, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello @Garagepunk66:, First of all, I don't know whether to take this as a compliment or what but Thank you so much for saying i'm very knowledgeable for having less than 2000 edits and i think because of that i should be awarded lol. Anyways ok so yes i have enough knowledge about Wikipedia because i learn a lot by visiting other senior user's talk page to find out how they work and i learn a lot by reading guidelines and policies. As you also know it's not hard to understand what to do and how to do, everything is explained here on Wikipedia. My signatures are there because it was a part of my task as other pages which i delsorted. Am here on Wikipedia to make good contribution to earn goodwill so am far away from this sockpuppet things because i know my one mistake can harm my hard work and time i spent in a month or so. Hope you understand why am here and what i do is right. My major tasks are AfD Deletion sorting, Disambiguation, watching new user for adding any spam/promotional links and fight vandalism. Any suggestions or tips please share on my talk page it will help me a lot. Anything else you want to ask please feel free. I dont take it personal or badly as i know it's also a part of your job. Have a Good Day. Cheers GSS (talk) 03:29, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

I wish neither you or anyone any harm. I deeply wish all the best. But, right now, there is a user who is targeting my articles for deletion in a way that I think is underhanded (he has written remarks in a sarcastic tone on my talk page), and I reason to believe this individual may possibly be involved in sockpuppery, although it is too early to say for sure (he thinks that I am accusing him, when I only think the matter needs to be researched), but I may need to have the matter investigated, and that may mean having several accounts checked as a way of being on the safe side. Garagepunk66 (talk) 03:45, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Oh ok but why he want to remove articles you created? Well you have the rights to investigate if you feel something fishy and have to be investigated, same as i did last time by requesting SPI on couple of users and they founded sockpuppet of each other. I suggest you should sort the things out to save your articles in a good way because it's always worth to sort things out without hurting someone or getting hurt. Hope i wont be involved in all this. Thanks for your wishes. Cheers GSS (talk) 04:05, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
