 | This is an alternative account of Elfiños. |
I don't intend to use this account for sock puppetry. The reason I created this account is because I lost access to editing from my original account "Elfiños", along with its Talk page. It has been blocked due to a misunderstanding and I believe I have been falsely accused. I tried submitting an appeal in the Unblock Ticket Request System, but the site wouldn't let me...
What is your email address?
"elfinyos@gmail.com"
Do you have an account on Wikipedia?
'Yes'
What is the name of your account?
"Elfiños"
What has been blocked?
"My account"
Why do you believe you should be unblocked?
"I believe I should be unblocked because my purpose on Wikipedia was to edit constructively and fix any errors I could come across. I caused no disruption whatsoever within the Wikipedia community nor received any warnings due to my edits. I have also read the rules of what is to be expected, cleanup/improve articles, and I put on my best behavior (avoiding any conflict with fellow editors). I originally was not involved in any conflict nor incidents in Wikipedia, however, I have been falsely accused of sock puppetry. There might have been another user in the vincinity commiting sock puppetry, and an investigation was done in order to keep Wikipedia secure from any further disruption. The CheckUsers might have failed to underdstand or realize that it was two different people editing with the same IP address, and not just one person. For a little while now, I no longer edit from that area and have since returned to the Dominican Republic. I want to start fresh and continue editing Wikipedia since I feel I am able to edit constructively. My intentions do not contain malice. I never vandalized nor ever intend to. I am looking forward to collaborate amicably with other editors, make good contributions, and share my knowledge."
If you are unblocked, what articles do you intend to edit?
"My user page, and articles regarding topics/subjects that are of interest to me: insects, arachnids, Spanish cuisine, Spanish culture, technology, the environment, music, and television shows."
Why do you think there is a block currently affecting you? If you believe it's in error, tell us how.
"I believe I have been falsely accused of sock puppetry. The problem was that there was a misunderstanding of the CheckUser evidence of the IP I had previously edited from. Another user happened to be socking from the same IP address. It as registered to an educational institution so there might have been several students (and possibly others) using that same IP. When the CheckUsers were doing a sock puppet investigation on the user who was creating multiple sock puppet accounts, my account got blocked as well. I then intervened, stating my reason, but did not convince neither the administrators or CheckUsers. It seems they failed to understand that it was two DIFFERENT people editing with the same IP, and not one person."
Is there anything else you would like us to consider when reviewing your block?
"I would like to emphasize that my account will be used SOLELY for improving Wikipedia, and not be used for abuse. This is my only account, which is why I am requesting an unblock. I never disobeyed any rules, never vandalized, and never caused a disruption. I want to make Wikipedia a better and more reliable place. I am just myself, trying to improve the project. Thank you very much."
After reading the Privacy Policy and TOS, I click "Submit Appeal". A warning message appears, saying they need to know which administrator placed my block. I proceed, put User:Bbb23's and User:Vanjagenije's names in all of my answers, but no luck. I don't know what to do at this point, as it doesn't make sense to me. I had no choice but to make a new account to thoroughly state my reasons on the talk page of Elfiños (hopefully the administrators will better understand by now). I honestly did nothing wrong. I really have been falsely accused. I understand that admins want to protect Wikipedia from all sorts of vandalism, but this has gotten out of hand. I might even think it may be a breach of WP:TOOLMISUSE.
