Request reason:

My main account was "vincshekhan", but I forgot the password and I only use this account "ALBA-BALAMAND"; can you please help me to delete permanently my old account VINCSHEKHAN and to use only ALBA-BALAMAND. Furthermore; please unblock my actual account ALBA-BALAMAND as well since I am still waiting since long time. I was accused of sockpuppetry and failed to defend myself despite all the discussions !!!! I couldn't understand it; so I couldn't explain to anyone my case and I accepted to wait so so so long as admins promissed me; it was clarified that I will get with time my account unblocked. So please help me to solve my case. Thank you.

Decline reason:

ALBA-BALAMAND was allowed as a legitimate change of user name - however since then, things have degenerated - I would suggest you read Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Vincshekhan/Archive. You may wish to address some of those issues as well.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 12:33, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Ronhjones; I have 2 accounts "vincshekhan" (I want to cancel) and ALBA-BALAMAND (I want to use always); I do not really know how and why; but I wish you read my case, the account of "mark shutter" is not mine and never was and I believe it was created just to find an evidence to block my account and delete the page I created about one lebanese intellectual his name is wissam shekhani for a reason I ignore. I accuse herein and in front of everyone and all admins that I believe the one behind all this is an Admin called ELI (he might be someone who knows me in reality !!! and has some personal problems with me !!! we are both form the same country, lebanon !!!! Does this mean something to you???), he always promised to delete everything I do and really he is great; he took advantage of my sockpuppetry accusation regarding my old account vincshekhan and manupilated me being expert in wikipedia and I am not. I tried to defend myself and I couldn't, strangely all Admins are friends and can never trust non-admin users as it seems until I had my account blocked again since more than 10 months. Thank you for listening. Any possible help or solution for my case???--ALBA-BALAMAND (talk) 12:36, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Comment

You should try out other sites of the Foundation - Wikinews could be a good start - edit there for at least a few months (four to six), come back and show us that you've been a productive editor there during that time. If you do that, you'll be immediately unblocked by me or by any other administrator taking your blocking administrator into confidence. Right now, your scope of edits, your background, your lack of past honesty, all work against you. I'll also request you to take this opportunity and list down below all the sockpuppet account that you have used in the past, irrespective of whether they're being used currently or not. Do you think you could do what we're advising you to do? Wifione ^Message 06:18, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Ok, it's clear now for me, and hope I can unblock my account this way, thank you. However, regarding my sockpuppet accounts list; I am using currently only and only this account ALBA-BALAMAND (since more than 1.5 years); and I stopped using my old account VINCSHEKHAN. One more account accused to be mine MARKSHUTTER (which I never created and never used, but I couldn't prove to admins the opposite because it had the same IP Address as I understood from the result of my investigation request!!) For the IP Address which I used it without logging in when I was blocked; I do not know it, however, it should be the same IP Address used while logging in into my account ALBA-BALAMAND(this issue happened only once, I was angry at the time and made this mistake and regretted, actually, I was accused agressively for a sockpuppet account which I never created the MARKSHUTTER "nightmare", anyway, this is the past and I want to forget it) . Thank you again for your help Wifione--ALBA-BALAMAND (talk) 06:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

By the way, I wish if it is possible to delete the VINCSHEKHAN and MARKSHUTTER accounts; specially that I am afraid from the MARKSHUTTER account, cause I do not control it! I do not have its password. I can not afford to get again accused of sockpuppetry if one day we wake up with the MARKSHUTTER account logged in again. So I wish you can delete this nightmare acount and my old account as well the VINCSHEKHAN, thank you--ALBA-BALAMAND (talk) 06:53, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry about these accounts. Accounts cannot be deleted. Just do what I advised you to do. Come back after four to six months and reapply for an unblock with evidence of productive involvement on other projects of the Foundation. Thanks. Wifione ^Message 14:21, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much Wifione for everything; I will try to do my best and will come back after 4 to 6 months to raise an "Unblock Request", thanks. --ALBA-BALAMAND (talk) 12:28, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. I came here to post an unblock request on yuor behalf following your email to me, but I see that this process is in hand. Hopefully after some time on other projects you'll be able to come back here. GedUK  12:35, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much GedUk for your help; I have waitied for so long and I hope to come back, thank you --ALBA-BALAMAND (talk) 15:08, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

After 6 months of my last above post; any possibility now to unblock my account and come back into the team? ALBA-BALAMAND (talk) 10:23, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi and welcome back. As per the above discussion, could you please tell us which other Foundation projects you have edited, or if under another user name, which name(s) you used. Looking at your contributions under this user name at the SUL tool, I see:

• commonswiki: 165 edits, last edit on 1 July 2012
• enwiki: 165 edits in total
• enwikinews: 0 edits
• enwikiquote: 0 edits
• enwikiversity: 0 edits
• enwiktionary: 0 edits
• mediawikiwiki: 0 edits
• metawiki: 0 edits
• specieswiki: 0 edits

It was made clear that you would need to spend some time constructively working on other Foundation projects before an unbock could be considered, and I can see no evidence of this having been done. Incidentally, the same tool shows that Vincshekhan has had no edits other than on Commons and here, and those were in May 2010 and November 2009 respectively.

I have edited only in Wikimedia Commons as requested; using only the ALBA-BALAMAND account. In this regard; what are the additional steps to do at the moment to solve my case which still pending since more than 2 years? Thank you. Moreover; if there is an agreement to never unblock my account; please declare it honestly, because it is very hard to make people wait forever with nothing in return; despite the promises. If this case was in a real court, it would have been solved long time ago I guess. Therefore; please support my case and help me to unblock my account since I followed all your steps the last 2.5 years and showed truthful attitude. ALBA-BALAMAND (talk) 15:33, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Please reply on my above request for help; meanwhile, I will continue working on other wiki foundations projects ALBA-BALAMAND (talk) 08:27, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
