Blocked for sockpuppetry

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Northernlapwing. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:37, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

this account was created as part of a team for an internship where duties included adding sources to wikipedia pages that were relevant to the internship organiser's work, it just so happens that the authors are very prolific and have published many books and articles about different minority languages. I was not 'sock puppeteering' in any way. Northernlapwing (talkUs) 11:08, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You are admitting to violating the paid editing policy(interns, even if not compensated with money, are still considered "paid editors") but if what you are saying is that another member of your team created the other account, that is meatpuppetry, as we have no way of knowing who is sitting at the computer operating any given account. I am declining your request.331dot (talk) 11:15, 11 September 2020 (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.

Northernlapwing (talkUs) The internship is now over so I won't be using this account or computer to continue those activities.
