Unblock request

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).

Anotherperson123 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was not aware of breaking any rules, but I won't break them again. I was also never made aware of this case.

Decline reason:

Given the recent {{checkuser-block}}, I would recommend taking the Standard Offer: don't edit Wikipedia under any accounts or IP addresses, and return in six months. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 05:52, 14 December 2024 (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.

To be crystal clear as the person who filed the case, I think you might know this but I had no idea you were the puppeteer until the extra haul of accounts were discovered via Spicy's CU powers. It's pretty befuddling behavior and seems to be some degree of dishonest dodging scrutiny no matter what one thought the rules specifically were, but I don't find it implausible that you didn't know, except that you went quiet on your sock the moment I mentioned my suspicion of some sort of sockpuppetry going on. I still find that suspect. Remsense ‥ 论 04:17, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you can understand that not everyone can respond to questions immediately. Anotherperson123 (talk) 05:12, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's plausible either way, I just felt I should note one relevant thing here for consideration. Remsense ‥ 论 01:19, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What's the non-standard offer? Anotherperson123 (talk) 20:17, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you can make a case that you did use multiple accounts, but not in order to violate any WP:RULES, an admin could show leniency. One violation is enough for not granting your request. tgeorgescu (talk) 22:37, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My edits weren't vandalism and I didn't go to any lengths to conceal my identity. Was I blocked to prevent potential rule violations? Anotherperson123 (talk) 23:58, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're not arguing against me. I'm not an admin, so I cannot unblock you. I was merely saying that multiple accounts are a serious problem only when they're used to doge the rules. You had excessively many accounts, but if you were not breaking any rules, you could be forgiven.

I'm too lazy to put all those accounts in the editor interaction analyzer, but if there is no overlap in their edits, you could use that as an argument for unblocking. tgeorgescu (talk) 00:21, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You were blocked for using multiple accounts, which is against Wikipedia policy (see WP:SOCK). Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:43, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using multiple accounts is not in itself against Wikipedia Policy. Anotherperson123 (talk) 05:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that there are some legitimate reasons for having multiple accounts. Can you explain why you were using multiple accounts? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:32, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There were various reasons. Most of them were made by accident. At some points I have been unable to access my main account, so I made new accounts in order to edit articles. Anotherperson123 (talk) 19:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

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).

Anotherperson123 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

There was no vandalism; no intentional overlap in edits, if any overlap; and no lengths gone to conceal my identity. I didn't even know what a sockpuppet is before I got blocked. I will be sure to not make new alt accounts in the future. Anotherperson123 (talk) 01:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I have counted 50 sock accounts on just the one IP that I checked just now, which certainly doesn't align with "no lengths gone to conceal my identity", among other problems with your explanation. Please see Wikipedia:Standard offer. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 20:41, 19 December 2024 (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.

Most of those accounts were made by accident. Could you clarify on the "other problems" with my explanation? Anotherperson123 (talk) 05:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

50 other accounts most of them made by accident? Do you really think we believe that? The Banner talk 05:54, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
