Request reason:

Dear Administrators, I respectfully request that my account be unblocked because I do not know this G-Zay person or have anything to do with his or her account other than having received a strange notice a few days ago from a talk page involving his investigation. It turns out that both my username and Bomb319's were added by a third party who had nothing to do with the investigation, and additionally was mistaken as to our involvement. The investigator had accused me of sockpuppeting simply because I had temporarily logged in to Bomb319's account (with his permission, and as stated above, is allowed). He and I had been working very hard writing an article that user Bomb319 and I had co-authored. Since I was new to editing and wanted to do my very best I could on Wikipedia, Bomb319 briefly allowed me to use his account in order to help me learn how to edit to the standards demanded by Wikipedia. I then quickly changed over to my account once I had a better idea of what I was doing. Bomb319 and I both subsequently received a Sockpuppet notice, to which we felt was critically important to politely respond in order to emphasize that we were being accused of something we had never done. We both posted our respective explanations on the sockpuppet investigation talk page (for G-Zay) along with apologies for any inconvenience we may have caused. Now, it appears that we are being told that we have done something wrong via having had contact with this person who inadvertently or not, made wrongful accusations against us in the first place. Please examine any records that you may possess and review any history you have regarding my edits (and those of Bomb319) and you will find me to be a staunch believer in the integrity of the Wikipedia system. I would never, ever, ever do anything that was not in the best interests of Wikipedia. I view the site as one of the world's great legacies to learning and would never do anything to jeopardize it. Thank you very much in advance for having taken the time to investigate this matter. Sincerely, Frogpenguin Frogpenguin (talk) 21:40, 23 May 2015 (UTC)Frogpenguin
