April 2014

Hello, I'm John from Idegon. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Moscow, Idaho seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at User:John from Idegon, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Keep your personal political ideologies on your userspace. You have no right to edit mine. My userpage is mine, as is everyone else's on Wikipedia. There is never any reason for you to edit it, much less use it as a forum for your political viewpoints. John from Idegon (talk) 15:02, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing; specifically, POV-pushing, user page/talk page vandalism, impersonation of other editors, and sockpuppetry. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=I realize that you thought it was I who vandalized and made biased changes to the article Moscow, Idaho. It was my younger brother, however, who was mad at me and tried to get me blocked on purpose. I apologize for the inconvenience; I have changed my password and I promise it will not happen again. Sint Maarten 21:26, 25 April 2014 (UTC)}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

PLEASE UNBLOCK ME!

Hey guys,

I'm so sorry, but my younger brother got on my account because he was mad at me and started typing biased stuff so I would get blocked. Will you please unblock me? It used to be his account (you can see why in the next paragraph), so he knew the password; but now I've changed my password so he doesn't know it.

And as to the NOS Marine Forensics program, that wasn't written by me--well, it's kind of hard to explain, but my account was my younger brother's account first, and he wrote one article--The NOS Marine Forensics Program, in which I'm fairly sure there is plagiarism. Then he didn't feel like doing Wikipedia and gave his account to me because I wanted one but couldn't get one. That is because we share an email account, which he'd used to create this account, and since our email was already used for his account, I couldn't create my own account with our email address. So I really didn't write the NOS Marine Forensics Program. I'd have deleted it, but I don't think I can; at least I can't find a way to. I agree that it should be deleted; it is plagiarized.

And by the way the user Jagen de Vagen is not me, I promise. It's one of my siblings, and my younger brother got on Jagen de Vagen's account too because he was mad at him too--and he figured out Jagen de Vagen's password because Jagen had been giving him hints about it, seeing if he could guess it (Jagen's said he'll be more careful with his password from now on, as he sees how our younger brother will take advantage of that . We're both so sorry about the disturbance our brother's caused, and we've both changed our account passwords so it's not going to happen again.

Please consider unblocking both Jagen de Vagen and me. It wasn't our fault that our younger brother was angry with us and tried to get us blocked. We apologize for the inconvenience we've caused all you Wikipedians. I'm so sorry and I really hope I can get my account back so I can continue to do good work on Wikipedia.

"My brother did it!" is not a valid reason for unblocking. 172.56.19.241 (talk) 21:31, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Just wondering...why is "My brother did it" not a valid reason? I'm sorry to contradict you, but I really think that I should be unblocked because I couldn't help it that my younger brother did that. I've apologized quite a few times...I don't know what else I can do to say I'm sorry about what's happened. I've ensured it's not going to happen again. Sint Maarten 21:49, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

NOS Marine Forensics Program Needs To Be Deleted!

Just letting you know... This is Sint Maarten, and if you've read the other things I've said on this talk page, you know that this used to be my younger brother's Wikipedia account, but he gave it to me after he got tired of using Wikipedia. While it was his account, he created NOS Marine Forensics Program and it is actually a plagiarized article. I can give you the web address of the site he copied it off of: http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/forensics.html So after you've looked at that I think you'll see that this article really ought to be deleted. If I were unblocked, I'd post what I've just said on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NOS Marine Forensics Program , but since I am blocked, I'll just say it in the only place I'm allowed to post--which is here. In all good faith, Sint Maarten 21:57, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I know this page has already been posted for speedy deletion, but there was no notice of speedy deletion on the actual page NOS Marine Forensics Program, and User:John from Idegon posted the notice for speedy deletion over two months ago. Why isn't this article getting deleted?
