== Biased islamophobic user == take a look at this [1] his obvious pov pushing is vandalism he wants to associated pakistanis with a gang but when it comes to others he says "nothing to do with them" I urge you to keep reverting his drivel from the page and he now thinks I am your sock :DSpacech45 (talk) 15:15, 9 May 2012 (UTC) (Nangarbat sock)

May 2012

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on British Pakistanis. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:06, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:

I wish to have my account unblocked. I'm not sure how to prove conclusively that I am who I am (I guess it involves IP address comparisons or such things that I don't have the technical acumen to do), but here is my bio page from the university I work at: [2]. I also don't think there is proof of me being identical to the user altetendekrabbe. It seems to me that the case for sockpuppetry has to do with me having done very few edits, which I readily admit to. I find editing Wikipedia to be a chore and will continue to do so until I learn all the various coding standards for this site (of which there are many). Having studied Middle Eastern Studies at university for a while I have a particular interest in questions that have to do with the region, including immigration to Europe. It is a particularly toxic subject, though, and therefore I have thought it worthwhile to check out one of the main sources of information on the issue. I have argued for some changes to texts I believe to show a biased POV because I think those are the most important, but I guess I could have been more involved in other issues too. I believe I have argued clearly and fairly for the changes I have made, and would like to continue to contribute to Wikipedia. Of course, this is not made more tempting by being blocked for trying to have a civil conversation. I see from the unblocking guide that I should promise to "stop doing whatever got me blocked". I don't think I have done anything to deserve being blocked, but I can promise to edit more actively and more varied in the future. I am after all a researcher in economic sociology and social energy research, so there is probably plenty of other stuff to concentrate on!

Accept reason:

Having reviewed your contributions, I agree that you are considerably more civil and informed than the other chap - unfortunately sometimes sockmasters run one good account and one or more bad accounts, and it makes everyone suspicious. The problem was compounded here because three of the editors are definite socks of a problematic editor. On reviewing the technical evidence again - and another CU has reviewed it - I am prepared to say the finding with respect to yourself was a false positive. Please accept my apologies. I hope you will continue to contribute to the project in a wider area. Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:41, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Great, thanks! And no worries, I completely understand that it's a good idea to have strict policies against abuse.Henrik.karlstrom (talk) 13:45, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I apologise for striking your comments out after this false positive, the thread had been abused by a prolific sockpuppeteer and I did not want to leave a false impression. I look forward to responding to the points raised.Ankh.Morpork 17:14, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
