Please Do not Censor Afd debate comments from users you have banned yourself.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that you removed content from a Wikipedia article. However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that is relevant to the article. You have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please Do not Censor Afd debate comments from users you have banned yourself. If the comments are inappropriate, please allow another user to remove them. DollyD (talk) 07:39, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppets of banned users don't count as legitimate editors and are to be ignored. If you haven't noticed, all of User:Andrew Lau II's posts on AFD has been trolling and not a single one of them has any basis in policy. Also note that his use of my real name as his username is a direct jab at me. By the way, I find it quite discourteous when editors use drop-in template warnings on an administrator's talk pages considering we're meant to know Wikipedia policy better than anyone else. --  Netsnipe  ►  08:18, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, if that account name was a direct personal attack on you. However, I don't feel the comments at the AFD on Evan Laszlo attacked you in any way, and feel that their removal was unnecessary. Tagging the comments as being by a suspected sockpuppet would have been much more appropriate. But I'm unimpressed by your elitist attempt to pull rank here. You're an admin, I'm a humble editor. So what? DollyD (talk) 11:10, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Evan Laszlo AfD

Please note that the "SPA" in question is an IP and therefore may be used by multiple people (maybe a tag to show that would be appropriate) the edits in 2004 were very likely not from the same person. I don't mean any disrespect to you or to the person at the end of the IP but, the tag is factually accurate based on the records I can access. Unless you have further information please don't remove it again. Thank you. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

This is ridiculous. You are simply adding SPA tags to every user who disagrees with you in the AfD in an attempt to discount their recommendation to keep the article. DollyD (talk) 12:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, DollyD. You have new messages at Jasynnash2's talk page.

CSD nomination

I notice that you nominated Association of Nene River Clubs for speedy deletion. When nominating for deletion, it is usually considered courteous to notify the article creator that you have done so, in order that he/she can contest the deletion if desired.

ANRC link

Hi DollyD. The link is [1].Ning-ning (talk) 19:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for posting incorrect linkage. I've amended it. I've posted it on your talk page because this link does not seem to have been read by either the creator of the article nor those who have so vigourously defended it. Don't feel like handing anything to them on a plate ;) Ning-ning (talk) 21:50, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ning-ning, Thanks for the link. I agree with your proposal for a possible "Cruising on the River Nene" article that could include information about other clubs in the area. This seems like a far better outcome than a straight-out deletion. DollyD (talk) 13:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

!!! I pressed something on my keyboard and I nearly moved your talk page somewhere. Hope I haven't damaged anything. It is a bit of a problematic case, as all the info about the ANRC is web-derived- but the other clubs seem to have been around much longer and I suppose in total they'll add up to notability. Ning ning (talk) 13:51, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I don't think any problems happened with this talk page. I think the combined article is a good solution, and as you have noted, there are precedents for similar cases. The clubs may not necessarily warrant their own articles but I would prefer the information available somewhere on Wikipedia, because in total I think notability could almost certainly be established. DollyD (talk) 15:11, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

DollyD a sockpuppet!? Shame on you. :( —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.104.37.192 (talk) 05:21, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

DollyD (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

This sockpuppet allegation is totally false. I was made aware of it earlier and posted my objection [2]. I have been a user on Wikipedia for about three years and never been blocked before. I'm not sure what "evidence" this is based on. It appears that I am in a similar IP range to a blocked user. I had noticed recently that I couldn't edit as an unregistered user. But that is no justification to have my account banned. DollyD (talk) 09:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=This sockpuppet allegation is totally false. I was made aware of it earlier and posted my objection [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alison/Archive_25&diff=prev&oldid=233295715]. I have been a user on Wikipedia for about three years and never been blocked before. I'm not sure what "evidence" this is based on. It appears that I am in a similar IP range to a blocked user. I had noticed recently that I couldn't edit as an unregistered user. But that is no justification to have my account banned. [[User:DollyD|DollyD]] ([[User talk:DollyD#top|talk]]) 09:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=This sockpuppet allegation is totally false. I was made aware of it earlier and posted my objection [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alison/Archive_25&diff=prev&oldid=233295715].

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=This sockpuppet allegation is totally false.
