Request reason:

I am not a sock.

Decline reason:

As I see it, there are two possibilities. One is that you are a brand new user who is already very familiar with Wikipedia's policies, who is familiar with how one goes about avoiding a block and who even knows how to find the administrators' noticeboard, after only a few days of use, and who purely by coincidence, happened to choose the same name as a blocked user. The other is that you are a sockpuppet of User:Sarenne. One of these possibilities is considerably more likely than the other. Unblock declined. — FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

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.

This is unbelievable

I have picked this account name NotSarenne because I have a lot of humour. Initially, I was editing "anonymously". I was constantly accused of being a sock puppet of User:Sarenne. As I didn't like my IP addresses being tracked and linked to each other and also did not want to risk getting a whole block of my ISP blocked (I no static IP address), I decided to create this account.

I've written it several times, truthfully, that I am not Sarenne and not related to him or her in any way whatsoever. How can I prove it? I cannot prove it. That's no rocket science but simple logic. I simply cannot believe that my account is blocked indefinitely. I have provably been harassed by unidentifiable users whereas one of them was actually convicted as being a sock puppet of User:Fnagaton. This user has not been blocked, not even temporarily. Since the creation of my account I have made several admittedly minor contributions to clarify phrases in articles concerning units of computer storage but also a few unrelated articles. I've kept civil and did not make false accusation on purpose and did not violate any policies at all despite receiving heavy flak in form of false accusations from at least two users who disagree with me on the topic of binary prefixes. I'm heavily disappointed that the admin who blocked me measures with two standards. Oh, the irony... Also quite obviously the admin did not bother at all to provide sufficient credible evidence at all but fell for hearsay and the sheer mass of constant false accusations against me. --NotSarenne 17:37, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

If you are not Sarenne, the easiest way for you to resolve this issue would be to choose a new username unrelated to Sarenne, forget completely about this account, and avoid editing in ways that make people think you are Sarenne. There are so many other things to do here, there must be something you are interested in besides binary prefixes. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. You are right and for the record I have anonymously edited articles on completely unrelated topics. However, if contributions are suppressed as it has happened in my case, I will certainly not ever waste a single second with Wikipedia. You see I simply cannot trust it anymore if people with power here are acting against all common sense and logic. Keep in mind, I have not been blocked temporarily to calm down or the like for which I would have a certain amount of understanding. No, I have been blocked indefinitely based on false evidence. --217.87.59.247 19:30, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Just look at this. Vandalism?? THIS IS MADNESS!1 Why, I ask everyone who might read this, why is User:Wgungfu allowed to terrorize me? Why is there not a single person, admin or not, telling him to cease his vendetta against me and cease to revert my edits using false accusations as summary? Is this the spirit of Wikipedia? --217.87.59.247 19:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I think that the issue is that using the username NotSarenne automatically implies that people think you are Sarenne, and puts you in the strange position of having to argue that you are not Sarenne, which is difficult because of your contributions. Choosing a new username should eliminate that problem, as would avoiding the area of binary prefixes for a while. This is just a suggestion of one possible way to resolve the situation. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:46, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

That might be true but I have a sneaking suspicion that this would frowned upon. Doesn't it violate some kind of policy if create a new account? I mean the block reason is certainly hold against me as person and not me as a Wikipedia user. I don't even want an account but I was already told that is disallowed to keep editing anonymously. Let me also say that I have not made any controversial edits against the status quo since creation of my account. I have been accused of such edits by two users and two sock puppets but always falsely as can verified using my contribution log. That is I have definitely ceased to replace KB with KiB etc. See I've been strongly and repeatedly accused of being Sarenne even before I created my account NotSarenne, so I don't think it's a red rag or makes much of a difference. --217.87.59.247 19:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
