--BEFORE YOU LEAVE ANOTHER MESSAGE==

I checked the pages for New York Artist Series and Joe DiRosa and the only history of me making and edits to those pre-existing pages was while I was trying to clean up the presentation.. The New York Artist Series page has been around since 2009 and none of the edits or page creation had anything to do with me. The Joe DiRosa page has been around since before that I believe but apparently from the records someone recreated it back in 2016.. I'm not sure what happened there .. The changes i made were cosmetic in nature and since this is my public image you have posted on here I don't see the problems since the pages were not done up to today's wiki standards.. Now perhaps I should have had a friend make the edits but FunPlusSmart seems to be trying to be vindictive which is definitely against wiki policy.

Oh 3rd thing is I went to go look at the draft for Onox, Inc. and saw a Create Page button instead of the submit article button.. I thought wiki upgraded my account to be able to edit so i made the page and removed the draft.. Once it was pointed out to me that the page shouldnt have been made I returned to the draft version so it could be authorized by whoever does that in the wiki community. For some reason I seem to be under attack.. For some reason this guy has this conspiracy theory which the history of these articles he is attacking proves isnt true.

I know you are frustrated with my actions. But please remain civil, and assume good faith. The AFC reviewer said the same thing about the Onox article that I did. funplussmart (talk) 13:10, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

AFD voting edit

Hello! please note you can only !vote once in an AFD. You should be careful about repeatedly forcing your point, as you are the article subject and doing so over and over again can distract from objective analysis of the article and its notability. It can also be considered as disruptive editing, so if it continued, you could have your account blocked. Just letting you know how it works around here. The voice of the article subject is really discounted as you are not objective-- you have something to gain. just relax and let the discussion play out, as it is highly unlikely that the article subject can influence things much.

September 2018 edit

  Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 16:57, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Editing with a possible conflict of interest edit

Hello. Have you given any though to my ping (concerning possible editing with a conflict of interest or for pay) at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Draft:Elena_Matei. An answer would be welcome, and will likely result in how the multiple editors at COIN will act towards your draft articles.--SamHolt6 (talk) 21:04, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet investigation edit

 

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joedirosa, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Blocked for sockpuppetry edit

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Joedirosa (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Why are you blocking me? I made an account with my own name and have been the subject to editing harassment by keyboard warriors since this whole thing started. I have literally tried to publish one page, and only once. I am being harassed for arguing with these guys..They have been on me relentlessly.. I've complained and they decided to drop my name on every complaint board they could find as harassment. This guy Funplussmart literally says he is autistic and hard to deal with on his talk page. I feel completely legitimate in creating a 2nd account to try and diffuse the situation so it doesn't escalate. It not against the terms of service, I didnt try and edit or publish any pages, I didnt remove anything without noting it and providing the necessary citations. There is not other way to diffuse the situation and they are being vindictive which is against the TOS. In fact it should be at the core of wiki's beliefs because they dont want harassment lawsuits or press. There certainly arent multiple accounts working to subvert or create some sort of disturbance in the balance of wikipedia... please advise. Joedirosa (talk) 07:00, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

There is evidence of sockpupetry until I was targeted by this group of editors. They are making baseless claims against my editing.. There is no way that the articles they denied are less relevant than the numerous pages Theroadislong ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Theroadislong ) has made for wikipedia. There is just no way. Joedirosa (talk) 17:27, 26 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Note to admins-- Checkuser block. I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:54, 26 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
