Confirmation status

Hello. Although I am new to Wikipedia, I have read a few policy pages. One of them was the user rights page. I read that the standard "user confirmation" period is 4 days and 10 edits. However, I was wondering if it was possible to delay confirmation. This would allow me to finish "learning the lingo" with the basic tools before starting to become more advanced. Thank you.

- Autoconfirmation cannot be delayed. However, all it does is give you some additional options such as moving a page that you can simply ignore until you feel comfortable to make use of those possibilities. Huon (talk) 16:59, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

What are "Userboxes"?

Sorry if I am pestering with questions, but I happened to come across Wikipedia:Userboxes as I was looking at pages. What exactly is a userbox, how do you make it appear and where do you put them? They look cool and I want to use them. Mr. Maintenance (talk) 17:11, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
- Userboxes are something you place on a userpage. At the Userbox page you've listed above you can find a list of available userboxes to place on your page. If you look at the code for Huon's or my userpages, you'll see that we've placed our userboxes. There's more information at the Userbox page. Primefac (talk) 17:20, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:
I only have one Wikipedia account, which is this one. As noted in my comment below, those other user pages belong to a different user. I don't have a need for multiple Wikipedia accounts, and even more, those other accounts were from earlier this month and last month, when I was still learning about what exactly Wikipedia even was. No sockpuppetry here. Mr. Maintenance (talk) 23:43, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
Decline reason:
After considering all circumstances, I found no reasons to unblock this account. Max Semenik (talk) 00:23, 31 July 2015 (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:
How many times do I have to say that I have only one account? The pages that Huon considered "behavioral evidence" are insufficannt as they belong to a completely different user whom I have no connection with, and do not provide any evidence that would suggest that I have more than one account. I still see no reason for this block due to the lack of sufficant evidence visible to me. The editor who is A falsely accused sockpuppeteer (talk) 01:06, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This is pretty obvious; same pattern, same poor spelling mistakes. Please use your original account to make any more unblock requests, although at this point your inability to act honestly makes it unlikely that anyone will trust you. Kuru (talk) 13:11, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

- For behavioural evidence I'll point to the user page compared to these socks'. From a technical point of view Keegan looked into the case and called it

- @Huon Is there any reason why you were the one helping me understand the confirmation status procedure above and were respecting my new-user notice, and then had to turn your back on me and falsely accuse me of sockpuppetry? By the way, those other user pages belong to a different user and only the first line about the real name of the user is similar. Everything else is different.

- Next time you remove declined appeals or anything else related to your block from this page, you will lose the ability to edit it. Max Semenik (talk)
