Request reason:
I was blocked based on the interpretation of an admin and a user involved in a discussion with me where I didn't agree with them. Saying someone must not know of something is their opinion but it was taken as a fact in their sockpuppet investigation page. If two individual said something identical, that does not make them sockpuppet. They have a history of getting people somehow banned who disagree with them. None of the mentioned people has any resemblance with my way of editing but the only thing that is common here is, all of them disagreed with them for quite the same reason which doesn't make them sockpuppets just because they held a similar point of view. My ISP provides a dynamic IP, and the range is used by many others so if someone from my region say something similar and share the same IP range, can not be a reason to be called as sockpuppets. If you search the first six numbers of my IP on the internet, you'll figure out how many people share the same IP range. Sanjiv74 (talk) 01:50, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
Decline reason:
What you describe is called meatpuppetry. We don't know who is sitting at the computer or holding the phone making edits, and we must treat accounts doing the same thing as if they are operated by the same person. 331dot (talk) 08:46, 9 September 2020 (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.
- @331dot: By saying people sharing the same IP range, I didn't mean they share my device or wifi network. Say my IP is 192.123.456.789 (not revealing real IP), my ISP has allotted the range 192.123.xxx.xxx to my entire city and those sub IP addresses are also interchanged among the users in the same region as the ISP provides dynamic IPs. There are many people in my city and my nation who share similar views. Since, the person mentioned in the page is being highly discussed these days, it shouldn't be surprising that many people would come to the page (considering the huge population) and oppose some of the contents of that page. Different people have different ways of expressing themselves, some are polite while others are hostile. How can I be held responsible for the abusive behavior of some random guy sitting on the opposite side of my city or anywhere in the city for that matter?
I just finished reading all the comments made by those other accounts I'm being associated with and I noticed that not only their way of writing and expression is different but they also have very distinct personalities. People can change their writing style to trick others but they can't change their core personality. Besides this, I never used any strong or disrespectful words for any other user and was discussing the matter in a very civil manner. No solid proof was given except for some poor forensic analysis by [User:Cyphoidbomb]], because there wasn't any! Also, it is not fair to pass a judgement based on the suggestion made by an administrator involved in the matter.

They have a history of getting people somehow banned who disagree with them.
but how do you know this, or about WP:SPI if you really are a new editor with only a few edits? Even more amazing is this WP:LAWYERING... —PaleoNeonate – 05:36, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- From talk page conversations. I know about SPI because I got a notification that my name was mentioned on an SP investigation page. How I know about WP:SPI? I read about it in depth, after I've was mentioned on the SPI page. Moreover, there's plenty of info on the page itself about what it is all about. I also read all the conversations they had with other users in past and that's how I learned about their history. Sanjiv74 (talk) 06:19, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
