Comment by User:Bimzalazim on blocking and blocking administrator

ZimZalaBim is a sockpuppet of Zedo and has proved himself to be so by spying on the editing work of independent editor bimzalazim and should be expelled from wikipedia for violating the Wikipedia rules . WIKIPEDIA USERS can't be spied upon and have be able to edit the Wikipedia contributions freely without any fear of attack by other users. The blocking by ZimZalaBim, immediately upon the saving of bimzalazim editing work, is a disruption of the the Wikipedia editing work under its rules and should not be tolerated by Wikipedia editors. bimzalazim demands that ZimZalaBim should be expelled from the Wikipedia so that no user computer can be so shamelessely blocked by other users. bimzalazim demands that his computer be unblocked and his contribution of 9 November, 2006 be restored.

Subject: Wikipedia e-mail REQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF AUTOBLOCK BY ZimZalaBim on computer IP 65.88.88.155

From: "Bimzalazim"

REQUEST OF bimzalazim to remove the block placed by ZimZalaBim on his Computer IP 65.88.88.155 on 8 November, 2006

ZimZalaBim blocked the said computer right after bimzalazim edited the Wikipedia listing on INTERNET-Adservers to indicate that Zedo is a deadly adware that does not serve the ads in the way adservers do which they place the ads on the webpages with the permission of their publishers and drive their revenues from the clicks made by the vistors to the wepages. The publishers of the webpages get paid for the clicks made on the ads. On the other hand Zedo unleashes the ads on the webpages through persistant popups on the computers and not on the webpages and its targets are the owners of the computers and zedo expects to make revenues through clicks made on Pop up ads by the owners of the computers. Zedo instals its popup delivery software on the computer without the permission of the owners of the computers.

ZimZalaBim unjustly accused me of being a sockpuppet of Fakir005 because of my Editing Wikipedia content falsely promoting Zedo as an Ad server inspite of the evidence that Zedo is a vicious adware that unleashes deadly virus by installing the spyware on the computers without the permission of their owners. Did Fakir005 Computer get Autoblocked by ZimZalaBim? If so the autoblock on Fakir005 Computer must be removed. ZimzalaBim would seem to be a Zedo Sockpuppet.

I have provided the proof that Zedo is a software by the way of search engine listings under the keywords "zedo", "Powered By Zedo", "Zedo - Adware", "Adware Zedo". "Remove- Zedo". I've provided only 19 listings. But there are hundreds upon upon hundreds of thousands of pages of search Engine Listings.

Zedo is shamelessly braging about its wijipedia relationship by having hundreds of thousands of listings of the type listing number 19 below. "Wikipedia-Zedo", "Zedo-Wikipedia" . Wikipedia is promoting itself as a free encyclopedia. But ZimZalaBim is shamelessly promoting the business of Zedo by blocking independent editors like me who want Wikipedia to become a source of knowledge and facts that people will look up to.

Please look at the evidence I have provided to show that ZimZalaBim has maliciously blocked my computer IP Address 65.88.88.155 and I beg you to remove the block immediately. There is no reason for the block on the computer fakir005 also placed by ZimZalaBim and it is a shame to call every editor a sockpuppet of fakir005 or of bimzalazim if they edit Wikipedia to reflect that Zedo is not an Adserver but an Adware.

Thank You very much and May God reward you for removing the dastardly act by Wikipedia Adminstrator who obviously is a a Sockpuppet of ZEDO.

Admin noticeboard

This user has been emailing multiple admins falsely claiming that he was blocked for stating that Zedo is Adware. In fact, the user was blocked for being a sockpuppet of Fakir005 and Fakir005 was blocked for a legal threat. Additionally, the user sending the emails has made other claims but has so far (to the best of my knowledge) refused to state that he and Fakir005 are separate people. If he so states, we can run a checkuser to verify this claim. Please see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Review_a_block_I_made_on_User:Bimzalazim for more information. --Yamla 18:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
