Introduction to contentious topics
edit
You have recently edited a page related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
Further, Armenia-Azerbaijan is covered by the community-authorized sanctions described at WP:GS/AA, which forbid any editor without extended-confirmed permissions from editing articles relating to the conflict, broadly construed. While reverting your edit in compliance with GS/AA, I mistakenly called it edit warring in the edit summary based on prior IP edits--on closer examination there does not appear to have been any edit warring and I apologize for that error. signed, Rosguill talk 17:56, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet

Dobriva (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
My block is because of a claim that i'm a "sockpuppet account" due to similarity of my edits with users in the past. My edits are mostly within the name and rules of the articles, my knowledge is due to checking the arguments in the Kalbajar, Azerbaijan and Nagarno Karabakh articles in general. It has been proven with the Administrator issuing my edit that there are no "technical connections" between me and the accounts mentioned. I'm not a new account and you can see how I learned about WP:COMMONPLACE and etc rules via also checking this former account of mine, which has no shared edits with this account and has not been used in any abusive way, i'm not using it since I prefer this name. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kalbajar (Section: Removal of Armenian translation in the first paragraph) You can see that this account has the same IP as this one and also have not been editing the same articles, and is inactive since (so it does not violate any rules). Which is around the same time the claimed accounts were active (TheMiddleMan69). Therefore it cannot be proven that I have connections to the claimed accounts and I have old discussions about rules (to disprove their point), you may also check that i've added that in some edits the name could be discussed in the "talk" section of the page. So therefore this is why the block should be removed. I'd like to state that my edits will not be only limited to just name removal. Dobriva (talk) 10:45, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

The SPI states that this could be meat puppetry, which we must treat as sock puppetry. In review I do not disagree with that assessment. 331dot (talk) 08:15, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

While the edits do look similar, they have date differences between them and I did mention that I do have older accounts with this IP access, (and most likely before that original account aswell). Which could be used to disprove the meatpuppet theory, as this proves that i'm not affiliated/affected by that user. You can see likewise edits changing the first paragraph on articles concerning Turkish cities, which means that is really is not an uncommon sight. There really isn't any other proof other than the mention of WP:COMMONPLACE, which I also did prove I learned it by the Kalbajar article. If possible i'd like to ask for further investigation.

I find the evidence that this was either sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry/coordinated editing to be quite convincing, and do not find the denial to be. You may wish to review the standard offer. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:54, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
