 * ping as the blocking admin Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 11:22, 12 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm opposed to an unblock. In their message to QuiteUnusual they state that "Ive been a wikipedia member for awile " but if you look at Special:CentralAuth/BeatnikSnail they've never edited Wikipedia with that account, and created an account here today, strongly suggesting sock-puppetry. Furthermore, the message has a tone of mockery about it (its not even a question), and QuiteUnusual seems to be the subject of time-wasting messages, the earlier Lightbluerain with an earlier dubious question. If you're still uncertain, perhaps ask QU for a CheckUser? I think they're just trolling and time-wasting, but i'll leave the decision to your discretion; I will accept whatever you decide on the matter.-- Jules (Mrjulesd) 14:14, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not sure what email is referring to, but given their response, the best choice would be to ask  for a CheckUser. Could be an old/IP account that the OP refers to, after all. You could be right, but I can't see the evidence required to duck-block this account yet. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 15:10, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Lightbluerain is almost certainly unrelated to BeatnikSnail and has made minor edits here in the past. CU doesn't indicate BeatnikSnail is a sockpuppet, although this is never conclusive. Any block / unblock decision should be made on the contributions under this account. I think BeatnikSnil may be referring to a talkpage message when they write "email" - I haven't received any emails. QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 10:19, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Well they seem to be incorrect about sending an email (I didn't get one either); they were also incorrect about "Ive been a wikipedia member for awile " when the created their account just before messaging you (which made me suspicious, among other things). But thanks for the CheckUser, as I've already stated, I don't mind if someone unblocks them. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 10:56, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Pretty interesting to learn that I got considered a sock puppet. What an unprecedented welcome to a newbie here! And, then, the "trolling and time-wasting" was equally discouraging. For I've been editing Wikipedia for a while now as well, and thought of contributing here also. Two things I wanted to say: 1) Be responsive on the Email you gave on the Contact Us page. 2) Make it easier for newbies to know where to get help. I later learned that the place to ask for help here is called Reading room/Assitance. Newbies have every type of questions. It is not good to call them "time-wasting" at least if you want to retain them. Lightbluerain (discuss • contribs) 13:22, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * For what's worth, I (or we) have no control over the info@wikibooks.org address; in fact, I never knew until today about this email address. I've removed it as a result. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 16:03, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks, I didn't know that. Lightbluerain (discuss • contribs) 17:34, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
