User talk:Trout71

{{db-userreq}} I am dropping my unblock request. @Zad68: Cheers for your assistance. I am not Evlekis. Nawlinwiki was frankly wrong there. I am ultimately a sock of user:Angela Merkel is sexy and associated accounts, I think you were the blocking admin there Zad. There was around 2-3 of these accounts. All are blocked. My most recent sock was user:Dance Jimbo, dance. Although in general I am probably wp:nothere this has been a very informative experience. I am now familiar with quite a few of Wikipedia's internal policies and I understand how the whole thing works. Thanks for that. In any case I am done screwing with the wiki. Some admins I have dealt with have been reasonable enough and have actually have done the whole wp:agf which most users ignore.

I do intend to return, but as a wp:cleanstart. I will not abuse multiple accounts again or make other generally problematic edits. I am declaring all this as a show of good faith and to ensure that it is clear that I am abandoning all malicious activities against the wiki. At some point I would like to return and actually contribute to best of my ability in a constructive manner. I could have proceeded with an unblock request but I felt that if I intended to actually have a constructive purpose here I would probably have to be honest about previous vandalism. I have declared what I have been involved in. I won't do it again and I am sorry. I realise that it is ultimately a disruption to a project which concerns itself with a free and useful service. My actions also will have annoyed the community and again I apologise for this. I have two final questions. Can I return as a reformed user who guarantees not to do anything generally dodgy and never to hold socks? And if I do return as a reformed user will I be hunted down and blocked on the basis of my style, username, interests or general knowledgeablilty being spotted, or on any basis other than me actually using a sock or vandalising? Thank you and again I am sorry for any disruption Trout 71 00:41, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note to passing admins: I understand you will probably want to blank this page and revoke access. Can you give me a day or two to respond to any messages or other questions.

Request: I cannot delete that userpage and would be very grateful if anyone would be willing to do so on my behalf.

I've deleted your userpage as requested. Per deletion policy we do not routinely delete usertalk pages, and it seems very unlikely we would make an exception here. Also deactivated your CSD template. Monty ₈₄₅ 18:40, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Monty845: Thank you.
