DYK for Storm Area 51

On 29 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Storm Area 51, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that "Storm Area 51" was a comedic Facebook event intended as a raid on Area 51 in search of aliens? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Storm Area 51. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Storm Area 51), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Blocked for sockpuppetry

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

WackyWikiWoo (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I wasn’t aware making accounts for quick edits here and there was not allowed. I made them to avoid using my IP, because I like to use my main account for edits relating to internet culture, almost as its “purpose”. I have not used any of these accounts to make disruptive edits. I understand the rule now and will not do this again. WackyWikiWoo (talk) 15:38, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Per Berean Hunter's comments below. The "but I didn't know the rules" defence is not plausible in this case. Yunshui ^雲_水 22:32, 8 May 2020 (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.

Unblock discussion

• What other accounts have you used for editing?
• Please read and affirm understanding of Wikipedia:Sock puppetry#Alternative account notification. --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 00:14, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: The main account I have used is this one, the others were “throwaway” accounts I created, not knowing about the policy you’ve linked. I have read and understood it now.WackyWikiWoo (talk) 07:55, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Please disclose the complete list of other accounts you have used. --Yamla (talk) 13:08, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Nothing you've said is truthful. Take a look at Category:Requests for unblock and see that your request has been seen by the project's admins for a week and no one is accepting of your story. Now, you can double down and try to insist that you have been truthful with us or you can revise your unblock request and be honest with us this time.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 13:43, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

@Berean Hunter: I’m not sure why what I’ve said is so surely untruthful. Given that none of the edits were disruptive, I don’t know what you believe the purpose of these accounts to be other than what I’ve said. I did not know of the rule, and have stated I understand the rule now and I won’t do it again. Even if you think I am lying, can’t I be unblocked on the basis that I understand the rule and won’t make the same mistake again? WackyWikiWoo (talk) 08:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

No, because we do not accept insincere unblock requests and because I don't believe you that you didn't know that it was policy. Your reply that you didn't know sounds like you are trying to game the system. You've only offered up the accounts that you've got caught with and none of your previous accounts. I don't think this was your first account either.

You used your main account to make this edit and then returned to that article with five other accounts to remove sections and remove tags (article history). This makes your statement, "I made them to avoid using my IP, because I like to use my main account for edits relating to internet culture, almost as its 'purpose'" into absolute nonsense. You used your main account on the article in the first place and there would be no logical reason to create accounts or use your IP for any kind of followup editing. Why would you make the statement that you were avoiding using your IP? Why would it cross your mind to do logged out editing at all? That shows deceptive thinking. Also, you weren't "making accounts for quick edits here and there" as it takes more work to create the accounts than it would to have simply used your main account for quick edits. You also created several accounts above to hold in reserve...you didn't use them for any editing at the time. Shows intent on your part...and frankly, there is something wrong with the notion that creating many accounts is normal behavior. It isn't and anyone trying to sell that idea shouldn't be trusted.
