I APOLOGIZE FOR PUTTING A HOAX ON WIKINEWS (ON PINOCHET'S DEATH).

Welcome

Stroessner

Hola. Suponiendo que sea una inocentada, eso era ayer. La página de Diario Noticias no está cargando -para comprobar- y fuera de eso, en los demás diarios de tu país no mencionan nada acerca de la muerte de ese dictador. Algo parecido ocurrió en la edición en español esta mañana. Nosotros tuvimos nuestra inocentada también, pero eso fue ayer. Un saludo y te aconsejo que no empieces mal. Julián Ortega 21:38, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Gracias por ser más amable que los otros y por el saludo. Puse dos screenshots en la página de discusión por si no puedes ver el sitio. Como es una noticia exclusiva del diario Noticias, dudo que otros diarios la mencionen hasta que sea confirmada por el gobiernio. Paraguayo 21:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC) (Muy divertido lo de Chávez).

¿Estás seguro de que no es una inocentada? En fin, parece que los demás están empezando a entender lo que pasa. Las diferencias culturales y esas cosas. Ellos lo celebran el 1 de abril. Julián Ortega - My talk 21:48, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

No sabía. ¿Por que abril?Paraguayo 21:49, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Léete April Fool's Day. Y para que yo sepa que me respondes, haz clic en "My talk" después de mi firma. Julián Ortega - My talk 21:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Pues fíjate que sí me latía que era eso. Ahora te toca disculparte con todos, aunque ya lo expliqué en la página de discusión del artículo. Y todo por un malentendido... Julián Ortega - My talk 21:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Doppelganger

So, according to "the vandal" Deprifry, you're my double, huh? -chileno 23:25, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

No kidding.

re: Stroessner article

Please do not contact user:NeoAmsterdam further regarding this article.

The article was reported in good faith, based on a news report which turned out to be a hoax. This is not the first article which has happened in this manner, and it is not a problem either to have created the article or to report that it is not true; at Wikinews we do not fault each other for acting in good faith.

However, user:NeoAmsterdam does not wish to communicate further with you regarding this topic, and has asked me to request you not contact him any more. - Amgine | ^{talk en.WN} 23:14, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

-chileno

Hi -chileno and Paraguayo which is probably the same person. Congrats, you are now blocked indef. FellowWikiNews (W) 00:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Checkuser says they are --Cspurrier 00:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I beg to differ. Whats checkuser? Paraguayo 00:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

See Wikinews:Requests for CheckUser. FellowWikiNews (W) 00:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

It'll be funny when Pinochet actually dies and the article "Augusto Pinochet dies" is permanently deleted. Oh well. I notice nobody stated that I and -chileno are the same person in CheckUser. I insist we aren't. I know nothing of him. One more thing, when will the ban on my IP be over? Thank you for your patience and goodwill, Paraguayo 00:39, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You are blocked indef by Cspurrier. That means that your block never expires. You can only edit on this page. FellowWikiNews (W) 00:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

INDEF! Even my IP! Isn't the policy to assume good faith. I could change, you know? And you have yet to show me evidenc ethat I am -chileno. I steadfastly state I'm not. And Cspurrier has not answered my emails. Paraguayo 00:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Your edits support the hoax article. See contribs. FellowWikiNews (W) 00:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You trouble me. I said Stroessner died, not Pinochet, and I was the victim of a Hispanic equivalent of April Fool's. Again I ask, is it my IP that is banned indef. Isn't it against Wiki policy. Paraguayo 00:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Your IP is blocked too. FellowWikiNews (W) 00:50, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Forever? And without solid evidence that I am a doppelganger? Incidentally, why was my subpage on Stroessner deleted? Paraguayo 00:51, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Cspurrier is the one that blocked you. Not me. FellowWikiNews (W) 00:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

A million thanks for unblocking my talk. How can I contact admins to protest my block. Again, I thank you for your kindness. Paraguayo 00:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You can email them. FellowWikiNews (W) 00:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

How? I'm not a user so I can't just click on the "Email user" link. And most of then don't post their emails on their userpage. Paraguayo 00:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

How did you email Cspurrier? FellowWikiNews (W) 00:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

He, unlike other admins, had his email on his user page. Paraguayo 00:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You can go to User:Cspurrier and click on "E-mail this user" on the left toolbar. —this is messedrocker (talk) 00:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Brianmc has a link to his email here. FellowWikiNews (W) 01:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. God bless. Paraguayo 01:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Messedrocker, you're an admin, aren't you? Paraguayo 01:04, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

---

Yes, I am an administrator. —this is messedrocker (talk) 01:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm an admin too. FellowWikiNews (W) 01:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Why didn't you say so? I was searching for one. I am not -chileno I insist. I admit the Pinochet article was a hoax, but a one-time hoax doesn't merit an indefinite ban. -chileno appears to have done a similar hoax before, but I am in no way related to him.Paraguayo 01:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Any users that can block and protect are admins. FellowWikiNews (W) 01:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

My ban needs to have a limit. Can you change the limit of user bans? Paraguayo 01:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I can change the block to 24 hours instead of indef. FellowWikiNews (W) 01:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd be much obliged. Paraguayo 01:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I've moved your block to 24 hours. FellowWikiNews (W) 01:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I won't be causing trouble any longer. Paraguayo 01:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I hope not. FellowWikiNews (W) 01:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Your block expires at 01:17, 27 August 2006. See block log. FellowWikiNews (W) 01:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Your block has been restored. You are a repeat hoax article creator. The Checkuser check determined, a second time, that you and -chileno are editing from the same computer with no edit overlaps (thus not a proxy). There does not seem to have been any attempt to research *why* you were originally blocked. An admin should discuss a block/unblock before doing so, to insure there is no misunderstanding as to why a block should be implemented. - Amgine | ^{m | en.WN} 01:39, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

It has been clearly established that your presence on Wikinews is deterimental to the project. I have therefore protected your talk-page to prevent further trolling on your part. Goodbye. PVJ(Talk) 10:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
