Request reason:

A friend opened a new account on my computer and made links to the McDonald-Seer Computer Poll page. The McDonald-Seer Computer Poll page has been around for over a year. The McDonald-Seer Computer Poll is an algorithmic sports ranking system developed in 2009. The poll and algorithm are owned by McDonald Sports Enterprises LLC, an Idaho based company. It has named three national champions and two quarterback of the year awards. It is published on a weekly basis at www.oncampussports.com/mcdonald and is currently working with a handful of billion dollar companies for future endeavors. Links were being added to update this page, so it could be linked from the pages past winners of both National Championships and Quarterback trophies

Decline reason:

You are blocked for abusing multiple accounts; you'll need to address that in your unblock request. Regardless, we are not allowed to write about ourselves and our companies on Wikipedia. --jpgordon::==( o ) 18:09, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide 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.

Both you and you friend removed the AfD template from the McDonald-Seer Computer Poll page. Why? --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 13:09, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I assume I was still logged into wikipedia and he was making changes before he created his own account on my computer which would mean it was also using my IP.

Are you saying that he edited using your account? Because the edits were made by named accounts, not by an IP. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:11, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, I was still logged into Wikipedia he made edits under my page and then logged out and opened a new account, hence the Sockpuppet problem.

In that case your account is compromised and can in no circumstance be unblocked. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:20, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How is it compromised? It WAS compromised, but my friend now can't log into my account as he only accessed it because I forgot to log out. If so, then what do I do to edit pages again? Create a new account? But it wont let me create a new account from my IP address, and it would still be flagged as the Sockpuppet problem.
