This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four halfwidth tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Request reason:

WP, you need to immediately unblock me as the baseless allegations have been laid against me by Uirauna whom has been relentlessly editing the page Iran-Iraq War to his own agenda, under the pretext that there has been a "longstanding consensus". There has been no such consensus. He loves using two words, consensus and vandalism to get his way on issues. If he is then presented with facts in the article he complains to WP and gets the relevant user blocked or banned. I have on two or three occasions not logged in when I edited, but you should know that others including my brother have used the account without signing in (as they do not possess my password). I have not used or been involved in any sockpuppeting, my sole aim was to demonstrate facts on the details of that long and bloody conflict. In the past I haveprovided detailed refernces and been involved in academic discussions about the war with various editors (much to that untalented Uirauna dismay. Uirauna has now accused me of sockpuppeting in public and I intend to take action against him. I believe he has been sockpuppeing based on exact grammatical usage via differing aliases. But it is up to WP administrators to investigate this. Finally, I request that at least not allow Urauna from editing the Iran-Iraq war page as he has his own agenda for the article, lacks technical knowledge on the conflict and wishes to misrepresent the facts as they are. There is No longstanding consensus on the issue of a "tactical Iranian failure". That is his own agenda and it is based on a lie. Please unblock me. Thank you (RobVanden 07:39, 6 April 2011 (UTC))

Decline reason:

With apologies, we don't need to do anything. This should be a request, not a command. Reviewing the evidence cited by the Checkuser, I agree with their findings that you didn't just happen to log out or have your brother use your account when you weren't looking. As for the rest - you yourself are to blame for sockpuppeting, not any editor you are in conflict with. Until you address that in a credible manner, I don't see a path to an unblock before the set expiration. Regards, Syrthiss (talk) 11:15, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:

Thanks for the harsh response Syrthiss, but that particular user in question has had it in for me since I first made a "useful contribution". Look at his talk page Uirauna and see how he intimidates other users and gets his own way?

Also, Aiman1979 is a sockpuppet for Urauna, please see, that others have complained about his tactics .This is an area that I know quite a bit about, unlike that individual who has no clue, whom keeps pointing to a consensus that never existed . He has been sockpuppeteering since early 2010 and despite a number of complaints no one seems to do anythng about it. This is simply a clear case of discrimination, because I am new and he has many buddies in WP. As for the accusations against me, sockpuppeting, I don't need to resort to it. Other editors agreed with me so Urauna started sulking like a 5 year old child to WP and made false accusations against me. It is very hard not get frustrated, so please don't think I was making a demand, but this treatment is completely unfair and invalid accusations to cover his [[1]]own clandestine sockpuppeteering [[2]]. I request that you please unblock my account. Also, look how he started hassling me and only backed down when another editor told him that I actually knew what I was talking about [[3]]. This is not an isolated incident my friend, the user in question has a history of such behavior. Please look into this. (RobVanden 12:37, 6 April 2011 (UTC))

We're talking about you here, not this other user. You're blocked for abusing multiple accounts (or, in this case, logging out to make attacks. Please instead address this.  狐 Dhéanamh ar rolla bairille!  13:04, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hello, fair enough, if I make another personal attack 'logged on or not' you can permanently block me. I guarantee you won't see it from me. I will then try to maintain the Iran-Iraq War page based on the same logical way I started doing, when I first joined WP. If I notice sockpuppeting from the user in question, I will make a formal complaint to the administrators. After reading a lot of the background on that particular user, it is clear that he is a Saddam Hussein sympathizer, as indicated by others in their disputes with him [[4]] that is why he is so hell-bent on manipulating the article in a false and fictitious manner. That of course in itself is a serious allegation, which has no place on a neutral encyclopedia such as WP. Kind Regards (RobVanden 14:53, 6 April 2011 (UTC))

Decline reason:

Nope, you're still in attack mode. This isn't about another user, it's about you. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:37, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
