Blocked

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sockpuppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Considering I've been here for the sum total of a week I'm not sure how I can be blocked. Not very nice seeing my edits being given a rollback too, why bother doing that when its obvious I am not here to vandalise? Just makes me very angry and want to resort to less civil actions. Bearing in mind a lot of wikispeak is still alien to me, so please be gentle

Decline reason:

This request does not address the reason why you were blocked, which is that you are suspected of sockpuppetry. Given that you were trying to reinstate content that was added by a blocked user and their sockpuppets last year - even down to including the same grammatical mistakes - I think those suspicions appear well-grounded. If you want to be unblocked, you should request it from your original account. Girth Summit _(blether) 15:32, 15 November 2022 (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.

Request reason:

Not a sockpuppet. This is a brand new account though I have made a chunk of anonymous edits over the years (in fact recent months) as an IP editor - and I wasn't clearly told why I was blocked, I just got hit with a block out of the blue with the word "SOCKPUPPET" and when I tried to appeal on the unban ticket system (UTRS) it was closed without any sort of acknowledgement beyond a blanket DENIED. I was approached by a fellow member of the /r/Parahumans subreddit and asked to help them make some amendments to Worm because they couldn't do so, and being a fan of WOrm I agreed to do so as it all seemed fairly OK - does that count as plagiarism if it is with their blessing? I thought the whole point of this place (and the way we talk to each other) was to assume good faith? Do any of my contributions look malign? I think I demonstrated good faith here, so should get a little in return. What is the way forward here, as I really don't want to have to go back to being an IP editor on the rare occasion I am not stuck using my mobile carrier for an internet connection. Do you want me to send a photo of my trousers on the radiator and the stairlift we use to prove I'm a real person or something?

Decline reason:

Declining as a confirmed sockpuppet of a banned editor. Removing TPA RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:59, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any checkusers who want to review the technical data, send me an email. This is a Confirmed case and is completely unambiguous. This is not a case of WP:MEAT, as claimed here, though that alone would be enough to leave the block in place. --Yamla (talk) 01:21, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
