User talk:Jpmanoux

Please don't be offended by this block. It isn't necessarily because you have done something wrong (unless you are impersonating J. P. Manoux). If you really are J. P. Manoux, please email the above adress so we can sort this out. We really want to protect you in case someone is impersonating you, which is why we want to make sure you verify your identity with us. Thank you for understanding here. --Jayron32 18:47, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not offended. Definitely frustrated. Thank you for looking out for my... privacy interests, I guess. Now, what? I am J.P. MANOUX, which is not the same thing (at least to me) as J. P. MANOUX... but, I gave up trying to correct that mistake on this site years ago. I have no problems updating facts about the productions with which I am associated on IMDB. How do I become a trusted contributor to Wikipedia? Email what "above address"? I don't see one clearly. I am, however, looking at multiple pages of misdirected reprimand. But, I understand... this is to protect the real me.  :)

Ooof.

If you e-mail info-enwikimedia.org, someone there will be able to sort it out for you. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 19:07, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Sure. I understand the frustration, but if this HADN'T been you, wouldn't you be equally frustrated that some fool was running around Wikipedia pretending to be you? The email address is in the orange box, but it's info-enwikimedia.org If you send an email to that address, someone will be along as soon as feasible to sort this out. --Jayron32 19:08, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. And now the mac server isn't working for me, so I can't even send an email. Would you be kind enough to please forward this to... the editor?

Please forgive snarky Grandpa. Can someone just call me?

Also, I REEEEEALLY would like to get that space removed, if possible. The one between the first . and the P in "J.P." Thanks!

Hey J.P. Since you say you're having trouble with the email address, I've gone and emailed it on your behalf, with your phone number. I have no idea if that is within protocol or not, but hopefully someone will call soon to sort this out. --Jayron32 19:22, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The space between the J and the P is nothing personal, lol. It's just the Wikipedia Manual of Style. AJ Burnett is listed as A. J. Burnett for the same reason. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 19:23, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

A full day later, and I'm still blocked? With no expiration date on this completely random assignment of Wikiprobation? Was there another person claiming to be me, who complained about my more accurate post? Do I have impersonators here? I can't get verified on Twitter, but this drama is borderline validating. If and when I ever do become unblocked, will I have the power to block anyone else I choose to?

J.P.

Sorry, I'll try and get some additional eyes on this. I would have thought this would have been taken care of already. The reason why the account is blocked is because the name is that of a well-known person and they want to confirm your identity before unblocking it. Did you contact OTRS yet? Its a simple matter of 'I am who I say I am' then they unblock, the rule may seem silly, but its to prevent a John Smith from acting as say 'Stephen Hawking' or anybody else. My name is fine simply because I'm a nobody, but you are a somebody it matters. Though even if you are unblocked, you won't be able to block anyone personally unless you are an admin.

Now trying to get one of my agents or my personal manager to send an email on my behalf... from an address that some user here may, or may not, decide is legitimate....

I'm currently speaking to someone on IRC, I'm trying to fix this for you. I'm sorry about this; I'm not in a position to fix this myself, but I'm trying to go through the proper channels. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:11, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No sweat. Thanks!

I'm going to try an get an oversighter to remove that phone number. This phone number is personal and I don't want a bunch of random people calling you (or seeing the number in the future) to ask you a bunch of dumb questions. I don't think it would be proper to call you either, but since almost everyone is a volunteer on Wikipedia responses are slow. I've been involved in addressing several other cases of things like this. It is frustrating to no end, and our policies are seemingly stupid, but if you have concerns about your article or anything else, let me know. Its the least I can do while I try to sort this mess out. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:17, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked an oversighter. They don't remove it if they are giving it out to the world, but if you wish it to be removed it can be, or after this mess is cleaned up. I hope this mess isn't ruining your day or anything. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:24, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some sources to your bio article, twelve or so at current count thanks to Questia and Highbeam research, I'd like to source the rest of the movies and such. It needs more work for sure, but I found that you wrote a stage musical, that's cool. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:08, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, I keep getting the 'contact' OTRS response, have you done so yet? Have they replied? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 20:21, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I sent an email to [email protected]. Is that what you mean when you say, "contact OTRS"? Please DO remove my phone number! That's was provided only for you, an editor, or whoever else might be able to help straighten this mess out.

The OTRS ticket has been replied to :). It doesn't allow for an immediate unblock, I'm afraid, but we are making progress. Ironholds (talk) 22:05, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll contact an oversighter to have the number removed. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:00, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still blocked. In WikiPrison for no reason. #FreeBradleyManning

Not really; as I've told you, we have emailed you explaining how to get unblocked. Ironholds (talk) 19:59, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on. I did what was requested. Sent an email to [email protected]. Nothing.

What else do you recommend, Ironholds?

We literally received one email a few minutes ago (ticket 2012100110009313) - was there other correspondence? Please be patient. Apologies for the inconvenience. Rjd0060 (talk) 20:13, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From: J.P. Manoux <[email protected]> Subject: wrongly blocked Date: 28 September, 2012 12:13:58 AM EDT To: [email protected]

And I do realize that YOU are not the one who randomly blocked me. Never got an answer before... When this is all straightened out, will I have the power to block, without expiration date, other users that I feel are impostors, or just jerks?

Request reason:

Hi, I'm J.P. Manoux. For some reason, Wiki-people suddenly think otherwise. I can answer any and all questions that only J.P. Manoux would know. I also look exactly like J.P. Manoux without the awkwardness of actually having to be Jim Rash.

Accept reason:

We've received confirmation from your agent via

OTRS Ticket:2012100110009313 that confirms that you are who you say you are. I apologize for the inconvenience that has been caused. I've unblocked your account. I hope that you can understand that this process is designed to protect individuals. Rjd0060 (talk) 01:40, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply
