Really? Like what, specifically? الشوك والملاعق (talk) 19:24, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Like specifically, all your trolling. —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room}

Could you give one example of an unproductive edit I have made? I'm currently blocked due to mistaken identity but hope this will be reversed soon. الشوك والملاعق (talk) 19:35, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

The instructions say to notify editors if you propose a page for deletion. I did just that. الشوك والملاعق (talk) 19:36, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet

I assume I was banned for "sockpuppetry" because I edited the Luke Heimlich article from the Oregon State University campus. He played for OSU so understandably other people with the same IP address have probably made edits to the same page. Please unban me. الشوك والملاعق (talk) 19:24, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

Mistaken identity, see above الشوك والملاعق (talk) 19:27, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Asking Why was there no sockpuppet investigation? is a surefire sign that someone has been through one before. Declining. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

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.

• There is nothing in the technical evidence that suggests this is "mistaken identity" with cross over on more than one data point. The edit history is also not one of a new user.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:06, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

I am in a large campus community of many thousands of students. There are many different possible IP addresses on and around campus. Of course there's major overlap in IPs between me and other editors of the page for our University's star pitcher. Why was there no sockpuppet investigation? Why was no evidence presented? Why was I given no chance to defend myself? What does it take to prove I'm legit? الشوك والملاعق (talk) 22:03, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

What do you mean by saying the edit history is not one of a new user? I improved some random articles using the "random article" feature and proposed a few of them for deletion. I don't get what's so fishy about that. الشوك والملاعق (talk) 22:05, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Notification of nonexistant sockpuppet investigation

There is a very good reason I asked "Why was there no sockpuppet investigation". The message posted on my user page said "This account has been confirmed by a CheckUser as a sock puppet of Jimbreeman3 (talk · contribs · logs), and it has been blocked indefinitely. Please refer to the sockpuppet investigation" so I clicked on the link and there was no sockpuppet investigation about me. There was nothing newer than mid-June.--الشوك والملاعق (talk) 04:49, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

See above. I had a good reason to ask why there was no sockpuppet investigation and I wish to appeal and escalate this as far as necessary.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 11:42, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

On the surface, I was banned because of a sockpuppet allegation. The allegation is that I am a sockpuppet of user Jimbreeman3, who edited the article for Luke Heimlich from the same IP addresses as me. Heimlich was the star pitcher at Oregon State University and I edit from Oregon State University IPs, so I'm sure others also edit the article from the same IPs. I will add the userbox for shared IP addresses to my user page to avoid future confusion. On another note, I suspect the real reason I was blocked was because I nominated the wrong page for deletion and made the wrong people mad. To avoid further disruptions and bans, I promise not to nominate any more pages for deletion. I will only add to Wikipedia, and productively so.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficiently convincing for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 11:23, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Is there any hope for me to be unblocked? I haven't gotten the attention of an administrator for my appeal.الشوك والملاعق (talk) 07:54, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

As this is a checkuser block, it can only be reviewed by someone with the checkuser power. They are limited in number and are all volunteers, please be patient. 331dot (talk) 12:48, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
