Asking for clarification about block

You blocked me a few months ago for block evasion and I just found out I can edit my talk page again so I'm wondering if you could let me know what I did wrong please. I'm guessing it means I was blocked on another account but I was not aware of it if it was the case.

I do recall having one or two other accounts before but I did not understand wikipedia very well and I forgot I had one so I guess I just recreated a new account.

If I was blocked on another account with this IP adress, may I know the name of the account so I could find out what happened and then request unblock?

Thank you! Meless13 (talk) 18:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You attempt to make the same edit to TS as a long-term vandal. It may be a false positive, but given that you've made no other edits, I blocked per WP:DUCK. I'm will to accept that it may be a false positive; I wouldn't expect the LTA to ask about a block from this long ago. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:32, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay I had good intentions but I should've checked before making that edit. Thank you for explaining! I'll request unblock now Meless13 (talk) 13:05, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ohnoitsjamie, so I'm actually confused now because you told me I was banned for LTA but my request was denied because I was actually banned for block evasion so I don't really understand what's going on. Meless13 (talk) 17:27, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting Unblock

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:

Hi, I'm not a long-term vandal. I've been making edits on French wikipedia before. I didn't realize the edit I was trying to make on TS was incorrect even though it was explained on the article's talk page. I'll make sure to check talk pages and article histories before making edits on an article in the future. Meless13 (talk) 13:23, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You are blocked for violating WP:EVADE but don't mention that at all. Instead, you are talking about your edits. That's not relevant here. Yamla (talk) 17:19, 13 April 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.

In order to be considered for unblocking, you need to clearly explain why you were attempting to make the same edit as a long-term vandal. For example, you could show a reliable citation (WP:RS, WP:CITE) demonstrating this and explain why you decided to add this information. I must say, I'm not absolutely convinced you are the blocked WP:LTA here, but it's a strange addition that you attempted to make. --Yamla (talk) 17:26, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocked

With User:Yamla's help, we were able to confirm that this was a false positive; my apologies for the inconvience. Happy editing, OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:50, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
