Removed the quotes. I believe Future Perfect was trying to poke some fun about the whole matter. If you care to look,meta:The Wrong Version is actually tagged as a page intended to be "humorous".Nishkid64_{(Make articles, not wikidrama)}17:30, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He wasn't. We have almost reached consensus for its redirection, so I really dont think he could be joking about it. --Sarandioti (talk)17:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sarandioti, you seem to have been missing the inevitable irony in anybody linking toWP:WRONG. The whole point about that page is to remind people of the fact that administrators are not normally supposed to judge which of two versions in an edit war is "right" or "wrong" – except in some exceptionally outrageous cases of somebody edit-warring against clear consensus (and the present case doesn't rise to that level), most admins will just randomly protect wichever version they encounter first. And if you thinkthis version had a clear consensus, you are mistaken: I think I, for one, made it quite clear in my very first posting to the talk page that I find this version ridiculously messed up. We might soon have a legitimate consensus for redirecting, but we certainly haven't got a consensus for that particular version.Fut.Perf.☼17:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How soon will that soon be? Because Athenean is just postponing it. --Sarandioti (talk)18:02, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look, Athenean and I were having a very reasonable and constructive discussion. Unlike some here, he is actually a person one can talk with reasonably. Just try not to interrupt it too much and we might soon get somewhere, okay?Fut.Perf.☼18:11, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does this seem reasonable to you?[1]. Pure greek nationalism.--Sarandioti (talk)19:00, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus was reached finally, article redirected. --Sarandioti (talk)22:57, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For your continued indulgence in edit warring, despite being blocked for the very same offense just weeks ago, I have blocked your account for 1 month.Nishkid64_{(Make articles, not wikidrama)}00:30, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under the terms ofWikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Macedonia I am placing you on aone revert per week limitation on all articles within thearea of conflict defined in that case. You are prohibited from making more than one reversion per week per article, not including obvious vandalism. A reversion is any edit that substantially restores the article to prior content, whether or not it is a reversion in the purely technical sense.All reversions must be discussed on the article talk page. Violations will result in escalating blocks. You may request to have the 1RR limit reviewed or lifted after 3 months.Nishkid64(Make articles, not wikidrama)00:30, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus over the Greek name has not been established. The talk page clearly shows one user who is against having the name in the lead, and one user who is for it. Simply agreeing with one party and thus shifting the scales to a 2:1 majority does not entitle you to performthis edit to the article. This is exactly the sort of tendentious behavior that leads to edit wars in the first place. I request that you revert your edit onVlorë and ask Athenean, Markussep and others to discuss on the article talk page.Nishkid64_{(Make articles, not wikidrama)}15:11, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A sockpuppetry case has been opened against you here:[2]. --Athenean (talk)04:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It has been established that you engaged insockpuppetry by evidence presented here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sarandioti, and you are thereforeblocked for a period of 3 months. You're welcome to makeuseful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified, you maycontest the block by adding the text{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read ourguide to appealing blocks first.MuZemike15:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Six months agoPeterSymonds(talk·contribs) told me that if I didn't create any other accounts on wikipedia I could request to be unblocked after those six months. The six months passed and I'm ready to get back if an admin is willing to unblock me. During those six months many other Albanian users were accused of being me while they had nothing to do with me (Sulmues(talk·contribs),Kushtrim123(talk·contribs),ZjarriRrethues(talk·contribs),ObserverFromAbove(talk·contribs) and many IP editors). All this time although I have been watching what's going on in wikipedia I haven't made any edits and my only recent edits are on wikicommons where I'm not blocked on a file talk. I understand my past mistakes and I won't repeat them. Although my sock log seems large only under the username Kreshnik25 I used an account without telling who I am because I was angry. I was angry because I was blocked for three months for having a sockpuppet named Alarichus but it wasn't me. Earth Corporation isn't me and you'll get that if you monitor his IP, which you didn't because the admin who blocked him thought that anyone who copies my edits is me. I told PeterSymonds about Muzakaj being me like I told him that Honeyncookies was me after starting the articleMariano Lagasca that I wanted to write but I couldn't because I was banned. I used NguyenneyugN to start a report and nothing else. XXxLRKistxXx although listed as a sockpuppet was just a guy I asked to join wikipedia if he wanted to. The admin who blocked me understood that and lowered my block to two days telling me that I shouldn't ask from people to join wikipedia. I have completely realized my past mistakes during those six months and won't repeat them. I was going to delay my request but I see that other users banned have been unblocked so I ask the same for me.Request:I want on my talkpage during this request only administrators, checkusers, clerks, members of arbcom to leave comments. Users whose usernames I mentioned are welcome to leave a brief comment but no overlong ones.--Sarandioti (talk)09:11, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Per comments below and linked diffs. —Daniel Case (talk)15:49, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, pleaseread theguide 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.

I have been unable to locate any such comment byPetersymonds referenced in the sockpuppet investigation archive or on his or your talk pages. Can you provide a link to it?Accounting4Taste:talk18:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think this user should unblocked. First, his last confirmed sock was NguyenneyugN, which was blocked on December 23, less than six months ago. He created that sock specifically to harass another user. Second, I have good reason to believe that he is currently editing using yet another sockpuppet account, and I plan to file an SPI soon. He also refuses to own up to half of his sock accounts, such as Alarichus, who wasconfirmed as one of his socks. Alarichus was created a day after Sarandioti received a one month block, and Sarandioti didn't really edit after that block expired. It was then found out that he and Alarichus had used the same IP address at one point, and he was rightly issued a three month block. He then began socking with the Kreshnik account, and I believe he never really stopped. ObserverFromAbove was new user strangely familiar with wikipedia who was reminiscent of Sarandioti, who edited from an open proxy. He disappeared when it was blocked, then a few days later, another highly precocious account appeared. Lastly, Sarandioti was a extremely disruptive troll, filled with an unequenchable hatred (and yes, I use that word to its full extent), as can be seen by his hateful comments here[3][4] (he praises thePontic Greek Genocide). This maniac has no place on wikipedia.Athenean (talk)19:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I poured my thoughts on Sarandioti's readmission at Daniel's talk page:User_talk:Daniel_Case#Reconsider_Sarandioti_admission. I think his appeal is sincere and Wikipedia would have less disruption while Sarandioti is around. --_Sulmues ^{Let's talk}07:49, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That would be something like biggest mistake since Wikipedia founding, as Sarandioti is blocked like problematicWP:DE editor, with multiple sockpuppets, and with awful pro-Albanian fighting attitude, so i am glad this pointless request has been denied. --Tadija^speaks19:26, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
