The others listed are mine, but I'm not bromtomley

I have set up accounts while bored, looking for amusing usernames etc., and the ones listed here are mine, except bromtomley, which isn't one of mine. Some used once or twice, some used quite a bit. Have these accounts been seen as disruptive? Or is it that they're blocked because this bromtomley person is disruptive? Never mind, I'll just read the encyclopedia for now. This one I'm commenting from (crpstn), can I try reinstating in the future? Thanks  crpstn  2.44pm, 10 July 2020 (UTC)


Bromtomley

Please note that a case was originally opened under Archives (talk · contribs) but has been moved to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bromtomley. Future cases should be placed under Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bromtomley.

Not bromtomley

Sorry, this is shorter than planned. I did type a paragraph but I lost it while subst'ing the section above this one. The ones listed are mine, except bromtomley. I didn't think any were used disruptively? Was the main fault that they weren't publicly stated to be related to each other? A lot of the urge to make extra accounts came from boredom, and I see that's not a good place to edit the encyclopedia from. Thanks  crpstn  2.51pm, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Callanecc Greetings! I wanted to post on your talk page but block doesn't allow that. The bromtomley account isn't mine, if that's relevant, but the others listed are/were. Regards  crpstn  3.16pm, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
Just wondering, was bromtomley assumed to be running my accounts because that user joined before my accounts did? I saw somewhere earlier than the investigation into all these accounts was initially bundled under "Obhf", which is one of mine, which was used a lot over the years, then moved/renamed as an investigation into accounts suspected of being run by bromtomley. I hope, if it's allowed in the future, I can have one of these (Crpstn or Obhf) unblocked and be allowed to edit. I'll come back and contemplate this in a few months, maybe. Is it appropriate for me to maintain userpage, categorise uploads etc. over at Commons? (Obhf account uploaded a few images.) Thanks  crpstn  5.56pm, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
Yes you're welcome to edit other projects (such as Commons) as long as none of your accounts are blocked from editing there. You should probably consider the WP:Standard offer which would require you not to edit the English Wikipedia from any account or IP address for at least six months then consider an appeal. One of the ways you can show that unblocking you here could be a positive is to demonstrate positive conduct on other projects. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 22:33, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
