unblock: I don't know why I am blocked, but I am blocked, and I would like to have my account re-enabled because I have just started contributing to Wikipedia! I don't know what I did wrong, I'm just a History major trying to make a difference. I guess Wikipedia isn't an open community after all.

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by SlimVirgin for the following reason (see our blocking policy): T Turner/D Sanchez et al

Your IP address is 24.12.15.247

I've asked for a review by the blocking administrator SlimVirgin. This should happen within 28-48 hours. Apologies for any inconvenience caused if this does indeed turn out to be a case of mistaken identity. --  Netsnipe  ►  04:26, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Netsnipe, thanks for drawing this to my attention. Katie, can you say how you came upon Gold standard as your first edit, [1] and have you edited with any other accounts in the past? SlimVirgin (talk) 04:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Unblocking on good faith. --  Netsnipe  ►  04:45, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Blocked again. Confirmed by check user as being part of the D Sanchez/T Turner et al chaos. SlimVirgin (talk) 05:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

You've been blocked because you are one of a large number of sockpuppets of an editor who has been harassing User:Stirling Newberry; see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of WikipediaSleeperCell1 for more details. Lying about your IP address only compounds the problem. Jayjg (talk) 05:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
