User talk:Ponch's Disco

Hi, Ponch's Disco, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

Additional tips[edit]

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy ^talk ^contribs

Troll[edit]

Nothing. There is a policy somewhere about that, but I don't believe it is enforced. --Kf4bdy ^talk ^contribs 22:06, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well that isn't good if trolls get away with their nonsense! Ponch's Disco 22:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Apparently Splash felt that I was always a sock puppet and my reverting of Tecmobowl's vandalism of baseball related articles. was part of this. Take a look at Tecmobowl's record. It also appears that this Splash who banned me is a bit ban happy, too. I demand an investigation of both Tecmobowl and Splash!

Decline reason:

Obvious sock. Four similar AFD votes which coincide perfectly with TV Newser's last four AFD votes as well as OBILI's AFD votes - many of which even have sock notices. OBILI is a proven sock by this edit which links right back to Spotteddogsdotorg. Sock Sock Sock Sock Sock Sock. -- —Wknight94 (talk) 14:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
