Concerning the SPI investigation edit
You may have noted you were recently lumped into a (now closed) sockpuppet investigation with my accounts. I'm sorry you had to be dragged into this. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. You just had the bad luck of getting your sentence "(remove {{webarchive}} from reference and
)" interpreted as having |page= from {{cite web}} citations, [and] ensure {{tooltip}} is only used for abbreviationsvery similar interests
when you actually clicked the link on the previous request. E to the Pi times i (talk | contribs) 15:34, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- @E to the Pi times i:Thanks for the heads-up. I was totally unaware of it. How did you come to learn of it so quickly as it unfolded? A single expression does not a sock puppet make. Does the accuser have some kind of axe to grind with you? Thanks also for your clarification on the request for permissions page. Learning here is a continual process. — Monolithica (talk) 16:38, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- See this. I made 2 edits with my alternate account which probably should have been made my main account. E to the Pi times i (talk | contribs) 16:44, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- @E to the Pi times i: I'm glad that it's satisfactorily resolved. How did you become aware of the investigation in real-time; did someone leave a message on your Talk page? Thanks, — Monolithica (talk) 17:25, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, and to address the other curiosities you had: I knew about the investigation because of the notifications system, which sends a "ping" whenever one mentions your username and signs the end of the post. I similarly got a notification when you used the {{reply to}} template, because it linked to my username. Notifications are useful for getting someone's attention in a discussion (though one has to be careful not to canvass).
- See this. I made 2 edits with my alternate account which probably should have been made my main account. E to the Pi times i (talk | contribs) 16:44, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
- Another note on the notifications system: you can also thank users for any edit to any page, and its a nice way of showing appreciation. All thanks are publicly logged.
- Learning here is definitely a continual process. There are so many policies and guidelines, but you'll gradually begin to develop a picture (I suspect you already have, if you have edited on an IP address prior to this account). For quick reference, Wikipedia:List of policies and Wikipedia:List of guidelines are useful. E to the Pi times i (talk | contribs) 17:26, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation pages edit
Please take care not to add {{stub}} and {{orphan}} to disambiguation pages, as you did here - AWB sometimes offers wrong suggestions but it's your responsibility not to make incorrect edits with it. A disambiguation page is supposed to be an orphan, and is not a stub. Thanks. PamD 17:51, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- @PamD: Thanks for the correction. I'm aware that disambiguation pages aren't stubs, and are meant to be orphans, but it was my first time using AWB. I somehow missed it was a disambiguation page. I was still adjusting to the visual interface from prior experience using Dispenser and DabSolver. I'm more used to it now; it just so happened to slip by. I'll pay closer attention going forward. — Monolithica (talk) 18:02, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
Please consider removing the block so I may continue contributing to the community. Thank you, — Monolithica (talk) 19:54, 22 April 2018 (UTC)"Pardon this late comment from a non-admin, but I do not see the behavioral sockpuppet evidence for Monolithica and R. Anthony convincing. While Sro23 has pointed out the few edits which have some relation, if one looks through the majority of Monolithica's edits, they have been general maintenance: link disambiguation, tagging, and copy editing, none of which are disruptive. R. Anthony has made edits to the topics of human rights and space—but most of their edits are in userspace. Unless you have a specific case where they've repeatedly exhibited specific similar arguments or behavior to Altman on a specific page, I think it's premature to jump on them as supposed socks, and I find this quick indefinite block to be biting them."
Decline reason:
I have asked another CheckUser to review this block in private, and they confirmed Bbb23's findings to me: that you are technically indistinguishable from R. Anthony (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). Because of that, and because administrators cannot lift a CheckUser block without the consent of a CheckUser, I am declining your unblock request. At this point, given both your claims of private information and your allegations of abuse of process, appealing on-wiki would not be the best option for you. Your best option at this time to appeal your block would be to contact the Arbitation Committee at arbcom-l
lists.wikimedia.org The committee also reviews allegations of violations of the local CheckUser policy. If you also believe that the global CheckUser policy was violated, you may make a request to the Ombudsman Commission by emailing cu-ombuds-l lists.wikimedia.org. The Arbitration Committee, however, would be responsible for reviewing the local block on en.wiki. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:49, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
