CONSIDERING RETIREMENT
Wikieditlobs is considering retirement, although nothing is set in stone...


Possible retirement edit

I am considering retirement because of how irritating this all is. I am trying to get unblocked and to cooperate, but whenever I get close to being unblocked, something happens that is either a stupid mistake that I make, or on a more recent note, getting another account that is not even mine blocked because it was "confirmed to be me".

Checkuser Data Confusion edit

@RickinBaltimore:, thank you for the quick review of my unblock appeal. I am willing to go one year without editing and submit another unblock request then, I just would like to know if checkuser data can be confused on a shared IP address, which can affect sockpuppet investigations. Thanks! Wikieditlobs (talk) 17:00, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply


Blocked edit

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. 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.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Request reason:

About a year ago, I created multiple accounts to try to evade a ban and disrupt the Wikipedia community. I understand that my behavior violated multiple parts of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I would like to apologize for any inconvenience or harm that I may have caused to the community. I have read over Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and found the reasons for my block, and I completely agree with the decision to block my accounts. Some of the rules I violated were sockpuppetry, repeated vandalism, and evading a ban. I will not make the same mistakes I made before. I believe that I can positively contribute to the platform and help improve the quality of its content. I have additionally retired my alternate accounts, Yourusernamehere342, Theonewhoknows432, and Hlav2022. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Decline reason:

  Confirmed sockpuppetry today. Clearly not operating in good faith. Yamla (talk) 20:34, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply


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.

Request reason:

I know this does not sound very believable, but I am not Nathan37567741234. I have already confirmed to be Yourusernamehere342, Theonewhoknows432, and Hlav2022. I have not used or created any accounts other than logging onto my alts to retire them. As I have seen before, making new accounts to try to evade block is stupid because you get caught almost instantly. If I had created a new account, it would have pretty much ruined my chance of getting unblocked. Another note, I mostly edit Wikipedia at my school, on a school-assigned device that has proxies linked to the school I.P address. Is it possible that another student could have signed up on the school I.P. confusing the checkuser data? Wikieditlobs (talk) 13:47, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Confirming the original CU's determination from 2 days ago, you have been socking just now. The standard o ffer clock resets to one year from today, meaning do not request an unblock until December 15, 2024 at earliest. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:42, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

See below on talk page. talk (Block expiry modification)

Decline reason:

Declined. But WP:SO is still an option for you. That requires at least six months with zero edits, among other things. Yamla (talk) 12:55, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I do confirm that I am Hlav2022 on an alternate account to avoid block. I accept the punishment of being blocked from Wikipedia but do ask that there could be an expiration for the block instead of having an indefinite block. I wish to be unblocked after a period of time because I look forward to coming back to wikipedia to make more productive and meaningful edits. If a blocking administrator sees this request, I ask that a note will be left regarding the reason for approval or denial of my inquiry. I deeply apologize for the trouble that I have created.

  • There are also Yourusernamehere342 and Theonewhoknows432, not to mention the logged-out shenanigans. --Blablubbs (talk) 13:02, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
    For the WP:SO reference provided by Yamla, after I have not edited for 6 months or tried to avoid the block, how do I contact an administrator? I cannot contact them on their talk page as I don't have editing privileges, and I do not know how to contact one from my talk page. Wikieditlobs (talk) 13:09, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
