== Talk:Visa (document) ==

I left a question on the talk page about projectvisa that you will probably want to look at. Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:30, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Apparent / presumed sockpuppetry on Conch Republic

Due to suspicious edit patterns and account creation, described on WP:ANI#WP:DUCK (or not) on Conch Republic, I am treating this account as part of a sockpuppet editor group (see: Talk:Conch Republic#Apparent sockpuppetry). Please see WP:3RR and WP:SOCK and the article talk page for warnings regarding activities by accounts in concert which are prohibited. Georgewilliamherbert 00:46, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

It would also be wise to stop using misleading edit summaries. Multiple reliable third party sources supporting the material you are attempting to expunge are already listed in the article, and have, moreover, been discussed at length previously. Presumably you have read neither the cited sources nor the prior discussions. --Gene_poole 05:17, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Block

You have been indefinitely blocked because of your singly focused editting to Conch Republic and Visa (document) that includes skewing POV, deleting entire sections, removing valid external links, and general edit warring. From simply looking over your posts, it is obvious you have some sort of vested interest in the visa debacle, and undoing perfectly good edits is really inappropriate. You may appeal this block with {{unblock|your reason here}}.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

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 was keeping to the discussion page. I think this admin has gone a bit too far with his powers. It was requested to discuss so I have done so, I have not edited a page where I have been asked to discuss in talk. It would appear the weight of ones status matters on rank.

Decline reason:

Your request makes little sense, and your contributions (including to Talk:Visa (document)) appear to be entirely unhelpful. — Sandstein 21:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

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.

I am not sure where or if I should be adding here but it seems as though a lot of users get temporary bans/warnings. An indefinite ban seems a little harsh.Shanebb 22:17, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
