Blocked for sockpuppetry

edit

So why am I blocked for editing? Because someone is using my name? Do I need to change my password? I'm confused, I've been an editor for years, haven't come across this problem before, I'm rarely even on here which is evident by my contributions?

Request reason:

Decline reason:

You are blocked for abuse of multiple accounts, this block is a checkuser block, meaning that there is technical evidence to support it(evidence to which I am not privy, so a checkuser must consent to the removal of the block). If you have not used multiple accounts, you will need to provide a plausible explanation as to why the evidence indicates that you are if you aren't. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 13:20, 5 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Wrongfully blocked, I have used the same account for 11 years, as rarely as I do, I have no reason to have multiple accounts. I live in NYC where shared public Wi-Fi is everywhere. I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm an honest ARMY veteran and don't want my username tarnished because of some "puppet", this isn't right. BSPanther18 (talk) 13:40, 5 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

I have reviewed the checkuser evidence, and endorse the conclusion arrived at in the SPI; the device used appears to be the same as well as the IP, and the near-identical edits regarding the obscure minutiae of Frasier title card colours would make this an obvious case of sockpuppetry even if the technical evidence wasn't so compelling.
