You have been blocked indefinitely from creating accounts for misuse of multiple accounts.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Star Mississippi 20:14, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Please read WP:PROJSOCK and log into your main account to participate in AfDs. You remain free to edit articles. Star Mississippi 20:15, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

This is my main account. I found AfD through Reddit. Madeleine961 (talk) 20:17, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

I'll leave this for another admin to review and defer to whatever decision is made here. Regardless of the decision, I think more time editing articles and becoming familiar with policies will lead to better AfD participation. Star Mississippi 20:32, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@Star Mississippi, did any particular AfD set off your sock senses? Or was it just that this editor got to AfDs early on in editing? -- asilvering (talk) 04:11, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Madeleine961 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I was blocked because "new accounts don't find AfD" when I've been lurking on Wikipedia for months before making an account.

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I was blocked because "new accounts don't find AfD" when I've been lurking on Wikipedia for months before making an account. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I was blocked because "new accounts don't find AfD" when I've been lurking on Wikipedia for months before making an account. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I was blocked because "new accounts don't find AfD" when I've been lurking on Wikipedia for months before making an account. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

My only question is, were you recruited to an AfD from Reddit? 331dot (talk) 21:04, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

No, sir/ma'am. I first found out about it on /r/wikipedia. This exact post, actually. https://www.reddit.com/r/wikipedia/comments/18udauz/the_longest_deletion_discussion_in_wikipedia/

Then I learned and thoroughly perused the Wikipedia rules, policies and discussions before making an account. I went to the list of active AfDs and started with the most recent ones to help. Madeleine961 (talk) 23:14, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
