This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.
TheVicarsCat (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: I request that that part of the block for allegedly evading scrutiny be reviewed. The issues are: 1. There is innuendo that this account must have been created to evade scrutiny as it is new. In fact, if an IP address editor attempts to create a new SPI report, the instructions there tell you , "Log in or create an account to start [the investigation]" (my emphasis). It is for this reason alone that this account was created. 2. There is further innuendo that this account is a sock of the very people being reported at SPI. This is a rather bizarre reason to create a sock account - to get yourself blocked?? 3. For from evading scrutiny, I have in fact, been very open about who I was before the account was created. Here I was completely open that I was 148.252.129.201 before the account was created. And even LynnWysong acknowledged this. Since this is a dynamic IP address, I might have a different IP today, but this is beyond my control. 4. All the evidence points toward the ItsLassieTime sock farm (of whom I am supposed to be a part) being based near Nabraska in the US. (based on editing pattern and location of linked IP addresses). I, on the other hand, am located in the UK (though the location is a couple of hundred miles out). 5. It has been alleged that I created the account solely to harass LynnWysong. In reality, I have never come across LynnWysong before. The SPI complaint was raised in good faith having seen another brand new account weigh in and make an ANI complaint against their opponent in an edit war. I have already acknowledged that the suspicion was erroneous and even apologised, once I became aware that it had happened before. 6. There is disagreement over whether my username violates policy, but that can be easily dealt with. Change the name of the account to something like, "TheVicarsCat" ForSPI (talk) 9:40 am, Today (UTC−5) Accept reason: Please request a name change at WP:CHU.

Just a note to say that I believe it is generally accepted practice to avoid doing maintenance on another user's talkpage. I'm no authority here, so it may well be that your deletion of that section meets with accepted guidelines. You might want to look for guidance, but good luck navigating the often chaotic WP help zone. Eric talk 16:16, 26 May 2018 (UTC) Vignette talk page proposalHello, Robert McClenon decided to close the discussion on the noticeboard, so I've copied my new proposal for the edit on the article's talk page here. Please weigh in if you're still interested :) 93.136.66.22 (talk) 02:46, 27 May 2018 (UTC) May 2018Hello, I'm ZH8000. I noticed that you recently removed content from Talk:ZH8000 without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You are not supposed to remove anything from a user's talk page WP:TALK! ZH8000 (talk) 06:13, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

3RRThank you for raising the 3RR report for me. I was in the middle of doing so last night when we had a power cut. I started again today but discovered you had beaten me to it. What did you mean that it was a ‘lame argument’? 85.255.232.36 (talk) 17:36, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
discussion location for placename translationsHi VC- Re your comment on ZH's talkpage: I agree with your point as a general rule, but ZH has a long habit of doing this on other articles. Just wanted to let you know where I think Toby was coming from. Eric talk 19:09, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
