Erik Bornmann Actually as stated in my edit summary it was a RFPP request to unblock I am actually surprised that you d think that not in a bad way Futhermore it seems that the editor only used two sock puppets which probably stopped Long term semi protection is never the answer articles are normally only protected for a few days If an article was semi protected for weeks because of only one user that would sort of defeat the whole idea of a wiki If the user comes back you may either ask for him to be blocked specifying he is a sock or ask for re protection
