am a little concerned that this account is falling victim to the same assumptions that I was caught in. Namely, circumstantial evidence based on geographic location and POV. I'm not convinced that this account and SuperRedGreen are the same, and I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt, despite appearances. I also do not agree with the classification of being disruptive, either. The user was given a chance by two other admins, after he was blocked, despite looking at the evidence regarding claims of possible sock, and Single
Purpose disruptive account. Still, they gave the user a second chance and told him not to edit war, anymore, etc--or there would no other chances. That seemed fair. But, this user never had that chance. Before he could prove himself, his unblocked was overturned based on the assumption that he was a puppet of my account. Since that assumption is no longer being held to, I think it doesn't hurt to return the the 'second chance' offer approved by the other two admins above, who agreed to, and did, unblock. I have no interest in this account other than it being brought to my attention, some empathy over a possible rush to judgment. I also point out that the user is correct that the initial blocking admin, Guy, was edit warring in the article with editors, including this one, when he issued the blocks against them; that is not following correct protocol.
419:
then jumped into the conflict as a newly created account. If the editor has agreed some changes, I think we can show good faith and give them the second chance they never had due to being mixed up with me and my past. You have to admit, there is a basis for reasonable doubt. If its granted to me, and others, why not to
Rafaelsfingers? In anycase, I'm not going to make a big deal about it, I just felt I needed to comment here, as I felt some empathy for the user.

and without censorship (and stay within wp guidelines - which I think I have). There are many trends actually within the left, and we must be careful not to lump us all together. I'm actually an early participant in the internet/ircs development, so I know the importance of real participatory, non authoratarian methodology. Thank you to all the admins support. If there's anything I can do to help
Knowledge's progress and expansion, please let me know.

The blocking admin has been disruptive making massive changes in the article against to consensus. This blocking administrator is being abusive and has no right to block me when he ls also edit warring on the article. He should not abuse his admin privileges by blocking those he is involved in a dispute with. I protest.}}

You're a new account. If you charge into a highly controversial article and start supporting a position with a bunch of other single purpose accounts, all from the same exact geographic location and even the same ISP, you are creating the appearance of wrongdoing. Please take my advice and go prove

He was warned not to go back to edit warring, and he did not. I don't see a problem with him using the talk page, stating his view, or voting, contributing to other articles, and proving his is not a SPA, but here to contribute generally. I believe he was told this would be acceptable and not lead to

I don't mean to butt my head in here, but naturally I have some interest in this account, so I want to comment.

Nothing strange at all. I didn't join just then. I joined a while back, and as you know I am on a revert parole. I last reverted a little over a week ago (not that I revert once a week, either). I took it to the talk page to try to settle what I thought was a silly edit war going on, but

838:
I think encouraging new users, such as myself to participate in activities such as editing articles, and not seeking conflict is a good idea. Differing opinions and disputes arise naturally, I think this club might might help me to do that. I believe that is one of the main reasons the internet was

418:
I don't think it was edit warring so much as a SPA and DE, that looked like a probable sock. It was this that they both gave a second chance to. Edit warring doesnt start off with an indef block, right? Keep in mind there is no established puppetry here. Its possible that this editor used an IP and

Jehochman, yes, I would be willing to make positive contributions on other articles, but i'm not ready to be restricted from subjects I can contribute to. Contrary to previous sentiment, I am not confined to anyone elses POV - I think we can support each others contributions without being dogmatic
371:
For the record, there was no new evidence, and
Giovanni33 was not found innocent. Rather, sufficient doubts existed that I decided to unblock that account. Your account remains blocked because your circumstances are different from Giovanni33's, because you and Supergreenred seem to be violating
338:
My blockage should be reviewed under new evidence proved giovanii33 innocence. I am not a sock puppet, lumping everyone in

267:
initially I was unjustly accused of being giovanii33's sock puppet, but that was disproven. Since then I have been unjustly accused of being supergreen's sock puppet, all the while an admin is edit warring and blocking people. I have no idea who supergreen is. I am new to wikipedia and was simply
657:
Can we please stay on topic on my talkpage? There's an unprincipled undercurrent of lumping all idealogical opponents together to paint a POV picture. Aren't there guidelines about accusing people on guidelines on a seperate individuals talkpage? I could easily revert to ultramarines tactics and

stating my disagreement with an articles facts and lack of consensus. I .made sure not to violate the 3 rr rule. Clearly this an admin edit warring and blocking at the same time. I support wikipedias rules and guidelines, but this rogue admin has gone too far. Thank you for removing my block.
163:
thank you
Denelson83. clearly he was was edit warring with one hand and blocking be with the other. I understand how ip addresses work, and I think it's quite clear I do not have multiple accounts. I believe Chris should make my account whole again without reprimand.

There are many articles where you can edit in peace and do good things for the
Internet and society. Take advantage of this opportunity. I am unblocking. If you have any other accounts or IPs you have used, stop cold turkey and use just this one account.

I'm still waiting for a response to my question. I am prepared to agf but I would like a solid answer. As I said before if you go straight back to edit warring it will just be an indefinite block. Do you understand the conditions of the unblock?

question him teaming up with John Smith at almost the exact same period in this long discussion and paint the same POV of another user on my talk page, which is highly suspect of sockpuppetry in the wrong forum, but I don't.
450:
We really don't need hostile, single purpose accounts, especially when there is an indication of sock puppetry. Given
Giovanni33's many contributions, I am willing to extend more benefit of the doubt in that case than here.
576:
Nothing too strange there since I was watching what was being said, and you quote me wrong. I clearly refrenced the other editors claim: "You are cherry picking what information to include and exclude on the basis of POV.
528:. One of the few articles he edited. Both Giovanni33 and Supergreenred have made the same accusation. That it is not mentioned that Blum is a historian. Supergreenred: "Source calls him a historian, but you remove that."

Or from 2:25 to 2:45 were made from your home connection and not your a wireless device. Is that correct? If so, I it will be important evidence. A user check can confirm that and I assume you would not object. Thanks,
638:
I do find it a bit suspicious that Giovanni only reverts once Supergreen is blocked (Gio only came off his own block on 17th). But more curious are the comments made by the two accounts as they are very similar.
602:
It's not just that you accused him of cherrypicking, it's that you said almost exactly the same thing including the point about POV. And you conveniently joined the discussion when the other account was blocked.
618:
did not cooperate with that effort and just kept restoring to his version. Saying I used the same language, POV, is just not very interesting at all. You might as well say were were both speaking English! hehe

him being blocked again. The warning was not to edit war. If he does again, then he can be blocked, easily. Everyone deserves a second chance. He told he would be given one but it was then taken away.

If I unblock you will you stay away from the article and just discuss and the talkpage and ani? I understand that you may have been an IP that created an account when the page was semi protected: -->
496:
Hi. It looks bad for Giovanni33 to lobby for unblocking of their own suspected sock puppet. Raphaelsfinger, plesse post an unblock request and let an uninvolved administrator decide.
279:
Per the nature of this case and Jehochman's comments below. There might yet be an unblock, but given the reblock after the earlier unblock maybe we need to take more time here. —

I think this account is best left blocked. If you're going to offer unblock, I think it should be conditional on something like 1/7 RR and staying away from US foreign policy
