Hi JamieSc! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Kinderlandverschickung
editI like your article on "Kinderlandverschickung". I (German) know the word "Verschickung" only in that context, deportation would be "Deportation", and think the euphemism of a seemingly harmless "sending away" should be kept in the lead. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:04, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Nice work
editNice work - a good rewrite I think. Keep it up! Stalwart111 07:35, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
DYK for Evacuations of children in Germany during World War II
edit | On 1 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Evacuations of children in Germany during World War II, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that more than 2.8 million children were evacuated from major cities in Germany during World War II? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Evacuations of children in Germany during World War II. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Thank you! It's now featured on Portal:Germany. If you have more DYK related to Germany, feel free to place it there yourself, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:51, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am not a sock puppet. This looks to me like collateral damage, possibly because I use a shared IP. JamieSc (talk) 6:44 pm, Today (UTC−5)

Request reason:
What was confirmed? How was it confirmed? I do not have multiple accounts. I believe I have been unintentionally blocked due to a shared IP. Communal concensus is that "it is impossible to distinguish between individual users operating from shared IP addresses". I have read the relevant policies and I believe this block violates WP:BP. Blocks should not be used: # in retaliation against users; # to disparage other users; # as punishment against users; # or where there is no current conduct issue of concern. Blocks should be used to: # prevent imminent or continuing damage and disruption to Wikipedia; # deter the continuation of present, disruptive behavior; # and encourage a more productive, congenial editing style within community norms. Look at my editing history. None of my edits constitute "imminent or continuing damage and disruption to Wikipedia" or "present, disruptive behavior" or "current conduct issue of concern".
Decline reason:
It was confirmed using Checkuser that there was a strong enough likelihood that you were using multiple accounts in a manner not permitted by policy. If that's believed, then it doesn't matter how productively you edit. — Daniel Case (talk) 13:40, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
"Confirmed abuse of multiple accounts" and "confirmed ... that there was a strong enough likelihood" are not the same thing. The first is absolute, the second is not. Which is it? If there is only a likelihood, no matter how strong, there must by definition be doubt. CheckUser pocedural policy specifically states that it "investigations result in general conclusions" (not absolutes) based on examination of IP addresses. Communal concensus is that "it is impossible to distinguish between individual users operating from shared IP addresses". It is frustrating that this has been dismissed out of hand as "confirmed" without presenting any actual evidence. I request that a previously uninvolved admin review this.
Decline reason:
