User talk:General Mannino

There is no way User:Generale d'Armata Mannino was me! Look at what time he registered, he registered after I was blocked, therefor, there was no way that could have been me because I was blocked from editing before he registered, please hear me out! General Mannino (talk) 22:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, according to the logs, he was registered about 17 hours before you were blocked. Metros (talk) 22:24, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Indef block

General Mannino,

I just blocked you indefinitely based on this edit by an account that appears to be a sockpuppet. I see your denial above; I'll ask a checkuser if they can clarify what's going on. In the mean time, the indef block should stand; you were going to remain blocked for a week anyway. I'll follow up on this and act accordingly after I hear back from a checkuser. I am, however, reminded of the boy who cried wolf; this would be easier to believe if you hadn't created another obvious sock earlier. --barneca (talk) 22:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

It wasn't me! Generale d'Armata Mannino was not me! Please hear me out! I did not make that edit! I did not post that to WikiDon! Someone else did! Please listen to me! Please! General Mannino (talk) 22:10, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

It wasn't me! I'm not lying! Check the IP address and the time he registered! It could not have been me! General Mannino (talk) 22:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I will look into it. --barneca (talk) 22:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Metros even has the feeling it wasn't me and that I'm telling the truth, and he was the one who blocked me in the first place. I swear on my own life it wasn't me! General Mannino (talk) 22:17, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Request for adminship is strange.

1) Why would you nominate yourself for admin, use a sockpuppet for support, and delete all the opposition-?

2) And, why would you say that you are going to continue to vandalize an article and asked to be blocked, instead of working with others? And then request the administrator position only two edits later? Don't you think that is rather odd and immature behavior? IP4240207xx (talk) 22:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

(ec)::Do you have an explanation for User:MI General? Who strangely has the same interest in Starship Troopers that you do, and was the only supporter in your untranscluded RFA? Tan | 39 22:14, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

MI General, I will admit, was a sockpuppet of mine, but the user Generale d'Armata Mannino was NOT me! Look at the IP address and the time he joined! It could not have been me! General Mannino (talk) 22:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Meatpuppet, mayhaps? There's too much coincidence even if the CU comes up different. Tan | 39 22:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, it is possible an existing sockmaster was watching ANI, saw this thread, and decided to muddy the waters (if true, it certainly worked, eh?). At the risk of WP:BEANS, I'm surprised that sort of thing doesn't happen more often.. --Jaysweet (talk) 22:21, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Although, despite Metros' feeling, I have a feeling the CU results will make this uncontroversial. heh.. We'll see, though. --Jaysweet (talk) 22:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

That's this theory I was leaning towards Jaysweet, but I just noticed the creation log so that kind of dampers that thought. Metros (talk) 22:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah yes, twenty minutes after this, and while GM was embroiled in an edit war over the notability tag on Mannino, no less. Yeah, I'm with Tan on this one now. Definite WP:DUCK. --Jaysweet (talk) 22:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, there is a coincidence, but he registered with a different IP and he was able to edit pages after I was blocked from editing. It was not me, and it can not be me. General Mannino (talk) 22:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Just please believe me, look into it. General Mannino (talk) 22:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Even if this other user was not you, you have done enough other things to warrant a ban anyway. IP4240207xx (talk) 22:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but only a ban for 1 week, not indefinitely. General Mannino (talk) 22:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

What about these questions:

1) Why would you nominate yourself for admin, use a sockpuppet for support, and delete all the opposition-?

2) And, why would you say that you are going to continue to vandalize an article and asked to be blocked, instead of working with others? And then request the administrator position only two edits later? Don't you think that is rather odd and immature behavior? IP4240207xx (talk) 22:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Please Listen

I will admit MI General was a sockpuppet, however the user Generale d'Armata Mannino was not me. He has a different IP address and he registered and was able to edit after I was blocked from editing, it wasn't me and it could not have been me. Please look more into this and remove this indef block for something I didn't do. General Mannino (talk) 22:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

We understand that. But, what about all of the other things that you have done. Separate the two issues please. IP4240207xx (talk) 22:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

The other things only warrant a ban of only 1 week and not indefinitely. General Mannino (talk) 22:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

You have not demonstrated a willingness to 1) Learn the Wikipedia Help Contents, and 2) Work with others; in the past. What makes us think that you will in the future? IP4240207xx (talk) 22:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I guess this remark was said in haste. Tan | 39 22:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Have you guys found proof yet? And IP4240207xx, please stay out of this, you are not apart of this. General Mannino (talk) 22:44, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
