Blocked as a sockpuppet

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively as a sockpuppet of User:Cartoons2022 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cartoons2022. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

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.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

I see your edits aren't of the type that you were originally blocked for. If you would like to become a constructive editor, file an appeal through the method described at WP:UNBAN. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 20:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

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).

Request reason:

I'm aware that Cartoons2022 has had plenty of sockpuppets before, but I can assure you, I'm not one of them. For the past few months since I joined, I've focused mainly on Irish and British articles, especially improving content around history and culture. I know that's an area Cartoons2022 was involved in too, but I can promise that’s where the similarities end.

I've always tried to follow the rules and contribute positively. In fact, I took the time to go over the guidelines for editing and sourcing as soon as I started, wanting to make sure everything I added was both accurate and well-cited. I really enjoy working on Wikipedia, and this block came as a bit of a shock since I hadn’t anticipated my editing pattern would raise suspicions.

I’d be happy to cooperate however necessary to clear this up. Thank You.

Decline reason:

I have independently verified the checkuser finding. In this context, I am declining your request. PhilKnight (talk) 21:43, 6 November 2024 (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.
