Wikipedia has banned WhiffleThePirate! and his IP. Apparently WP prefers to accept contributions from professionals who advertise and promote quack cures in its entries on alternative medicine to those of parties who while never simultaneously employing multiple handles or engaging in sock puppetry offend the tender egos of 'editors' and 'administrators' who prefer to maintain WP as the unreliable sack of trivia which has come to make a mockery of its stated aspirations.

Perhaps in time a forked effort will succeed where children (of all ages) fail.

Request reason:

At no point was sock puppetry involved. I have used a succession of 'handles,' as the mediator(s) and administrator(s) in this entry either were or very well ought to have been aware. Initially, as an IP search will indicate, I made a great number of edits in a wide range of entries. The entry in question has been subject for many months to the persistent efforts of professional advocates who have also, it would seem, encouraged meat puppets, all to advertise and promote Yoshiaki Omura and the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, which are clearly quackery and which, as the entry in its present locked state indicates, has contributed to at least one very-well documented death. The professional proponents are using WP procedures to attempt to obscure this fact and turn the entry into a clear advertisement/promotional effort.

Decline reason:

And your reason for being unblocked would be...? -- ЯEDVERS 20:30, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I made a simple point: There was no valid reason under Wikipedia criteria for this block. I am not here to curry favor. You need to stop drinking the KoolAid. WhiffleThePirate! 22:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
