Biology and sexual orientation article

Hello, Mintwi17. Regarding your removal of the "or no genetic influence" text from the lead of the Biology and sexual orientation article, you may be interested in commenting in this discussion. Flyer22 (talk) 20:59, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, I'll take a look. --Mintwi17 (talk) 09:19, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:

Oh dear, I knew I probably should have asked this before: is editing from a community center not permissible? I've tried being a productive contributor and editor here on Wikipedia, and if there's something which has occurred which should not have, I apologize sincerely and wholeheartedly and ask that I please be unblocked. Thank you. Mintwi17 (talk) 09:53, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You seem to misunderstand why you are blocked. A WP:CHECKUSER believes you were using multiple accounts in violation of our policy on the use of alternate accounts. That the accounts are technically linked due to their proximity is the evidence, or at least part of it, that you were doing so. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:56, 2 February 2013 (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.

Request reason:

In response to the above I would like to then instead say that I apologize without qualification. I ask that I kindly be unblocked. As can be seen from what I've contributed here I've been productive and a good contributor, not getting into fights with others and adding in and editing articles, and ask that I be allowed to continue my work. THank you. Mintwi17 (talk) 08:42, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline without prejudice - as the user blanked their talk page, I assume they are not interested in editing anymore. m.o.p 06:03, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

It would help us if you could list all the accounts you've created or used, plus an explanation of why you chose to use multiple accounts. Also please give us a brief summary, in your own words, of WP:SOCK, so that we can be sure you understand why you were blocked. Note that this is a check-user block, so it should not be lifted without the agreement of User:Alison or another check-user.  An optimist on the run! 09:20, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Well to be honest I have memory problems which result in me not being able to access my account at times and was probably what happened, additionally I edit from a public place - just for full disclosure. Now I've kept a written note of the username and password so that doesn't occur anymore. After having read the page you have directed me to, I would summarize it as being using another account. I additionally read the guide to appealing blocks and as advised by it I can state confidently that there will be no damage or disruption from me, and I will always edit productively. Thank you. --Mintwi17 (talk) 17:57, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
