"Redundant quotes"

What is your issue with "redundant quotes"? They add context to the decisions. ViperSnake151  Talk  15:21, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

My Response

Hello,

I only removed quotes from individuals who were just adding commentary to decisions that had already been made regarding the Olympic Games. I didn't remove quotes from members of the IOC or the Tokyo games committee, just those from individuals who work in media or live in the Tokyo area.

Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:VentureKit per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/VentureKit. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  GeneralNotability (talk) 14:37, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I’m confused why this happened to my account. I looked up what a sock puppet is and this is the only account I have had on the platform. I have not interacted with any of the authors mentioned on Wikipedia:Sockpuppetinvestigations/VentureKit. Most of the pages that I’ve edited are related to pop culture, current events, or the women in red project, which I had noted on my user page when I last updated it. Did I do something wrong with this? I have gotten a few thank you messages and notifications from other people who edit on wiki, so I assumed I was doing everything with my edits correctly. I have been asking questions in the tea house and on talk pages when I’m unsure of what I’m doing, and I didn’t think I had broken any rules. Please let me know how I can fix this, because I would like to be able to help out on wiki and keep working on the women in red project! Redf1veXW (talk) 12:56, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Behaviour confirms as an undisclosed paid editor - and likely a sock. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:14, 28 September 2021 (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.

Following Up on the Block

Hi again. It has been a week and I wanted to follow up to see if there’s anything else I can be doing to be able to edit again. I still don’t know what I could have done wrong, because I have only used one account to make edits, and I want to be able to keep contributing. Please let me know what else is needed so I can get this block removed.

Reaching Out Again

Hi again,

I wanted to check in one more time to see if there has been any movement on the appeal I filed for the block on my account. It has been a month and I still don’t know why I was blocked, because I only have one account, and I would like to be able to edit again. If there is anything else I can do to make this process move along, please let me know!

Thanks, Redf1veXW (talk) 17:09, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

• @GeneralNotability and TheresNoTime: - happy to take it private, but could I have a going over of the behavioural data, since this blocking was done purely on a suspected basis, without technical data. Nosebagbear (talk) 16:49, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Confused About the Block

Hi again,

I am still extremely confused. This is my only account. I thought I was following all the rules and making constructive edits. I tried so hard to make this site better. This isn't fair.
