Questions about block

@Materialscientist: Question about block.

Hello there. I am an irregular user of wikipedia but I notice that I have been blocked by you as of January. Are you able to explain to me why?

@0xDeadbeef:

Hello 0xDeadbeef. I have pinged you because I edit wikipedia extremely irregularly and have just noticed that I have been blocked for using my account "abusively". I pinged the blocking administrator but after looking at their talk page, they state "I turned off most notifications in my preferences, and therefore can't see pings, sorry." so I'm concerned I will not get further clarification from them.

Are you able to help me get clarification as to why I've been blocked? I'm having difficulty understanding as all I have done on wikipedia so far is make 3 positive edits to 3 wikipedia pages in the past.

Please let me know!

@Materialscientist: Follow up question about block.

Hi again! So I checked your talk page, although you have not responded to me directly, I would like to say: I don't really understand what the connecting evidence is, but I have now read a bit about what "sock accounts" are and I can confirm that I have only ever used this account. I don't recognize any of the accounts in the list you've assigned to my account that's mentioned on your talk page.

Are you able to clarify this further? I'm a bit confused how this happened.

@0xDeadbeef:

Hi again 0xDeadbeef. Thank you for looking into this issue for me! I checked Materialscientist's talk page and noticed they responded to the message you put there on my behalf. However, they haven't reached out to me so far. I tried ping'ing them again in response to the talk page comment but I haven't heard back from them so far since they don't get pings. Apologies to keep asking for your assistance, I could ask another admin but I just ask because you were able to help a bit last time.

As I said above I'm not really sure why I've been labelled as having a bunch of "sock accounts" as they're called because I'm only ever used this account - is there some way I could get in touch with Materialscientist to find out why I am thought to be associated with other wikipedia users?

Thanks again for your time and my apologies for this: I can reach out to a different admin for assistance if you would prefer. I'm just hoping to get some clarification!

I'm only ever used this account - This is categorically false. I'd suggest you read up on how to appeal blocks. The standard offer may also apply. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 03:00, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi @0xDeadbeef! Thank you once again very much for your response. I have read a bit about appealing blocks and it says the first thing is to get more clarification from the blocking admin if you have any questions about your block before you appeal one. Because it says an unblock request is not the place ask questions about your block.

In my case I don't really understand the block because as I said, I don't recognize any of the accounts listed on that page that Materialscientist has linked.

And I'm not really sure why I'm being assumed to have used accounts other than this one?

Anyway, I appreciate your response and your time so far but I still would really appreciate more information on why my account has been connected with this long list of other accounts. Let me know if you might be able to help with this! Thanks again!

@28bytes:

Hi there! Apologies to ping you randomly. I'm just doing so because I've recently realized my account was blocked, and I'm still a bit unsure why. I attempted to contact the blocking admin (Materialscientist) for clarification but they have pings turned off and didn't respond to me directly. I then ping'd another admin (0xDeadbeef) and they did let the blocking admin know I wanted to contact them but they still haven't got back to me. So far both admins have not responded to my questions so I'm wondering - could you help me out? I don't use wikipedia much, but I'm just trying to figure out what happened and how my account came to be blocked. Let me know if you can help!

@0xDeadbeef

Thanks, yes I did see the talk page comment. But I don't quite understand what it means? Like I said none of those accounts listed are mine. So I know Materialscientist has said I am connected to those accounts there, but I don't really know why? Would it be possible for someone to clear this up?

Thank you again for getting back to me!

Hi Stonestoneeee. I got your ping, but unfortunately I am not a checkuser, so I’m not able to help with a checkuser block. 28bytes (talk) 15:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@5 albert square

Hi! Apologies to ping you randomly, I'm just looking for help with the above.

28bytes thought they weren't able to help, and I've had difficulty getting clarification from the other admins I've contacted, see above. Are you able to help clarify this situation?

I'm confused why it's a checkuser block here, because my account itself is blocked and I thought checkuser had to do with IP addresses. But I don't really know a lot about the details of wikipedia.

Anyway my main question is just are you able to help me find out what has happened here, or to help me contact the blocking admin to find out what happened? Because they haven't responded to me so far. I logged into my wikipedia account recently and found out it has been blocked and don't really understand why. The blocking admin seemed to say on their talk page that I have been associated with some other accounts and then been blocked? But I don't recognize these accounts.

Let me know if you're able to help!

Stonestoneeee (talk) 07:42, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi I'm afraid I'm not a Checkuser so I'm also not able to help. You can find a list of Checkusers here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers/checkuser 5 albert square (talk) 16:54, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

@28bytes

28bytes,

Thank you for taking your time! No problem that you can't help! I appreciate you replying to me all the same!

I've ping'd a different admin to see if they can help. Thanks again for your reply!

Stonestoneeee (talk) 07:44, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

@5 albert square

No problem, but thank you very much for that list, that helps greatly! And thank you so much for taking the time to respond!

@Alison Hi, apologies for the random ping, I'm just trying to figure out why my account has been blocked, as explained above. I tried a few weeks ago to ping the blocking admin (Materialscientist), but they didn't respond on my talk page I think because they have pings turned off. They didn't respond to me when I pinged another admin (0xDeadbeef) to ask them to contact the blocking admin but the blocking admin did post a list of accounts they seem to say belong to me on their talk page. But I don't recognize any of those accounts, and none of the admins have offered clarification so far.

I am contacting you specifically because a couple other admins I tried said they couldn't help with a checkuser block, but one of them linked to a list of checkuser admins and you are on it!

Would you be able to maybe get the blocking admin to provide some clarification? Or direct me to someone who can? Please let me know, your time would be much appreciated!

@User:AmandaNP

Hi! Apologies for the random ping, as per the above I'm just trying to get some clarification as to why my account has been blocked and so far the admins I've contacted haven't been able to help or have not responded.

Are you able to help? As you can see above, some of the admins I contacted suggested I reached out to a checkuser admin for clarification about my block: unfortunately so far the blocking admin has not responded to me.

Do let me know if you're able to help! I would really appreciate it if you have the time!

Stonestoneeee (talk) 07:14, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I really don't have the additional time and don't regularly handle block appeals, especially by ping. That said in the effort of transparency, even in June, I can confirm you to Olan39323, 3rkewewk, HELLOLET'SEDIT and Historypro303 - and I'm dead sure of that. You edit on the same IP with the same user agent within 10 minutes. I will not respond to further pings. Please use the unblock template. -- Amanda (she/her) 12:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
