Blocked as a sockpuppet edit
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Belteshazzar per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Belteshazzar. 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. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
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:

61.220.170.133 is a proxy IP being used for block-evasion purposes by Belteshazzar, see current discussion at the SPI [1] Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:30, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
IP, you can complain about the user reverting your good edits all you want (I don't really care for your improvements to children's TV shows; save it for Wikia), but what you did on Benjamin Smith Lyman is just pure hounding, and you know it, so don't try to play that game.

- I was actually not the one editing the articles on children's TV shows, and I apologize to that person for causing this IP to be blocked. But what's the point of restoring bad grammar, an illogical statement, and a link to a wrong article? 61.220.170.133 (talk) 18:42, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- OK--so, this is you, and this, but this is another user? Drmies (talk) 21:02, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Correct. 61.220.170.133 (talk) 22:12, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Was this your edit? I'm asking because I've seen you write some decent prose, but my new hobby horse is overuse of "subsequent". And what is up with this, Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Belteshazzar/Archive? So much work for all of us, and given the irritation caused by socking, you know you shouldn't be surprised when someone hits mass rollback. (Plus, the Kamen edits were all silly anyway.) I'm talking to you out of my love for humanity, but socking is just irritating, and I was saddened to see you fucking around with Psychologist Guy on Benjamin Smith Lyman--that's just not cool. Clearly, since you're editing in all these "help" areas, you care for the cause. There are ways to come back from this and be legitimate again. Drmies (talk) 21:23, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- No, that edit about Bates' disappearance was not mine. At least, I don't think it was. If we're going to continue this conversation, perhaps it should be on my DefThree userpage, since there won't be any confusion about who is replying. I think I still have talk page access there. 61.220.170.133 (talk) 22:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- User talk:DefThree? I don't know, up to you. You can't edit my talk page because it's semi-protected after years of abuse. TPA was not revoked for that account. But I gotta tell you, my time is limited and I don't want to waste it. If you want to talk, you can do that, but the hounding needs to stop. You've bothered Psychologist Guy enough. I am also not very interested in this argument. You want to improve articles on this website, you gotta follow the rules, and "but I made a good edit" doesn't cut it, for many reasons. "We have plenty of time" is one of them, and this is a collaborative project, so a certain measure of trust is important. Take care. Drmies (talk) 23:24, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- I guess you weren't seriously asking for an answer regarding the sockpuppetry, nor could I have given one that would have done any good. Thanks for this. There are a few other pages that need that as well, especially Porter and Jick. 61.220.170.133 (talk) 00:41, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
