Request reason:

Hello Wikipedia, you may remember me from 2012, and you may know that i had made some disruptive edits, however that was 5 years ago and I would like to ask that my block be overturned and that i be unblocked, because i'm older, more wiser now plus i don't make as many punctuation mistakes, so please consider an unblock, but if you don't I understand.HWD5000 (talk) 15:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your request sounds reasonable, though I can't check anything you say as you have not identified your previous account or accounts. So please go back to your original account and make your unblock request there. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:24, 27 January 2017 (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.

I was User:Walter55000 (talk) and I ended up locking myself out of that account + forgetting the passwords to all other accounts hince why i'm doing it here. HWD5000 (talk) 16:41, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

2012-03-27	72.160.169.227 (talk) - range block re-instated - seems to have been working
2012-04-11	72.160.169.227 (talk) - came back on same IP as soon as the range block expired. So perhaps the single IP block will be enough.
2012-04-15	No it wasn't … 75.121.39.143 (talk) - 75.121.0.0/16 blocked again
2012-04-17	184.157.13.121 (talk) and five accounts registered - 184.157.0.0/16 blocked and all accounts blocked

• Ah, yes, I remember you now. I hope you are well. If my memory is accurate, you were very young back then (don't reveal your age, keep it confidential), and your parents didn't want you editing Wikipedia at the time. And, wow, is it five years already? That's a very long time when you're young, and it should have made a big difference to your maturity.

  I think you easily qualify for a WP:Cleanstart account now (and I see Worm suggested that too), and I really don't think anyone would seriously complain if you did that. So, I suggest you just create a new account with a name that's not similar to any old ones (and not similar to this one) and start again, and don't mention your old accounts at all.

  Have a read of WP:Cleanstart and see what you think. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:10, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

The main reason I returned to wikipedia, was mainly to apologize to all of the people that I basically annoyed to death back in 2012. HWD5000 (talk) 17:15, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

That's a nice thought, and I certainly welcome it, but you really don't need to worry about that now. Just put the past behind you, start again, and enjoy a productive time here! :-) Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:20, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Ok Thank you. HWD5000 (talk) 17:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

It appears that the IP address i'm currently using is currently blocked, with account creation blocked. HWD5000 (talk) 17:25, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Ah yes, I did release the autoblock on the IP, but I forgot to re-enable account creation. I've done it now, but it might take a short time to work. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:31, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

How do I create a new account while still logged in? HWD5000 (talk) 17:34, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

If you just log out, then visit the main page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, you should be able to use the "Create account" link at the top right. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:44, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, meant to delete that question, The IP i'm currently using is shared among multiple schools and businesses and whatnot, and its currently blocked until August 31, 2018 HWD5000 (talk) 17:55, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Ah, it must be independently blocked. Are you able to use Special:CreateAccount? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:06, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Nope HWD5000 (talk) 18:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

I Can say that I have another IP that i can use, as i have 2 different computers. HWD5000 (talk) 18:10, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it sounds like you'll need to create your new account using a different IP. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:18, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Ok, by the way can you tell all the people that were involved (Other then Worm, I told him) that I'm sorry for what I did? It would make me happier.

OK, I'll have a look at who they are and will point them to this message. And looking at that IP address, I see the block is anon-only, so you should indeed be able to use your new account on it when you have it set up. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:55, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Ok Thank you HWD5000 (talk) 19:11, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Oh and I also want to apologize to you for disrupting your time on wikipedia with my inappropriate edits HWD5000 (talk) 21:09, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry about that :-) Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:19, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

• Just to be clear HWD5000, my recommendation of a clean start was to start afresh, completely - imagine you have never been on Wikipedia before. Do not refer to your old accounts. Do not repeat behaviour that previously got you blocked. Do not seek out those who you spoke to in the past. A completely fresh start, ok? Worm^TT(talk) 19:07, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Ok HWD5000 (talk) 19:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

And there are probably more I can't remember or just don't want to type at this time, writing these specific codes are so hard!

By the way i copied the code for Rhaworth, Aussielegend, and Worm from User Talk: Walter55000, the rest was just based off of that or just guesswork.
