In response to your feedback

Hi, I am glad to hear that. I am with Wikipedia since 2005 and seems to me, that Wikipedia is difficult for new users.

Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I am not a sock puppet of user Rotsmasher and I am not a SPA Handlebarman (talk) 13:22, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Yes, you are.

• Your edits on Optical Express, all the way down to your edit summaries, are substantially identical to those of Rotsmasher (talk · contribs) and Rots2 (talk · contribs). "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck."
• Furthermore, your edits reveal a lack of understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines, such as Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:no original research. I am not convinced that unblocking you will benefit Wikipedia. Declined.

Any further unblock requests should be made from your original account, including a full disclosure of all your accounts and explanation of your understanding why you were blocked. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:39, 14 August 2012 (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 user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

Request reason:

I am not a sockpuppet of either user. Check IPs. I have edited widely. User Hardlygone is an SPA and sock puppet and is given free reignHandlebarman (talk) 18:06, 14 August 2012 (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=I am not a sockpuppet of either user. Check IPs. I have edited widely. User Hardlygone is an SPA and sock puppet and is given free reign[[User:Handlebarman|Handlebarman]] ([[User talk:Handlebarman#top|talk]]) 18:06, 14 August 2012 (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=I am not a sockpuppet of either user. Check IPs. I have edited widely. User Hardlygone is an SPA and sock puppet and is given free reign[[User:Handlebarman|Handlebarman]] ([[User talk:Handlebarman#top|talk]]) 18:06, 14 August 2012 (UTC). |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

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

{{unblock reviewed |1=I am not a sockpuppet of either user. Check IPs. I have edited widely. User Hardlygone is an SPA and sock puppet and is given free reign[[User:Handlebarman|Handlebarman]] ([[User talk:Handlebarman#top|talk]]) 18:06, 14 August 2012 (UTC). |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
