Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively as a sockpuppet of User:LuvOurVets703. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

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 why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Hello, I wrote some time back asking to be unblocked. I am not a sock puppet (?) as suggested, but I do share a VPN protected WiFi with many others, and at times a PC with a few friends. How can I get unblocked? Thank You, ProudProMilDem ProudProMilDem (talk) 22:03, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like there is more to it than a shared connection. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:43, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain the overlap in your edits? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:50, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t check for an overlap of edits. I’ve spent most of my time working on Sec Mark Esper’s bio. I’m a fan. I worked for him at the Pentagon, but many levels below, but didn’t think the entry told a full story. At least one other person in my group I know did too. I don’t know if they were doing the same.

To request an unblock from another CheckUser, please follow the instructions in the box above. Please read the guide to appealing blocks and appeal it by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Sdrqaz (talk) 04:50, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. Is this what you are suggesting?

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:

I share a VPN protected WiFi with many others, and at times a PC with a few friends

Decline reason:

Appeal appears to have been insufficiently convincing for any CU to unblock. Closing. -- asilvering (talk) 21:56, 5 January 2025 (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.

ProudProMilDem (talk) 18:59, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, yes. CheckUsers, feel free to unblock if you find the appeal convincing. Sdrqaz (talk) 19:03, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! ProudProMilDem (talk) 14:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

{{Checkuser needed}} to address this one. -- asilvering (talk) 20:41, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They're Technically indistinguishable from LuvOurVets703 on an IP that isn't a VPN. Also, that account isn't blocked, so they (or their friend... who is coincidentally a SPA on the same article?) can just use that one. Spicy (talk) 21:18, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
