You might want to trim some or remove them. For a start, you aren't and shouldn't be part of Wikipedia:New pages patrol, it's far too complex an area. Ditto Guild of Copy Editors. Although it is easy to be part of the Birthday Committee, I'm afraid some editors might be surprised to find such a new editor congratulating them, it's normally far more experienced editors who do that. It's also a bad look for you, see Wikipedia:Hat collecting. Doug Weller talk 12:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

Your reason here I am sharing this Ip adress with another family. I saw that I had blocked recently, so I went and checked with the other family and realised that one of their children had been playing with wikipedia, resulting in the blockfor abusing a user because he/she had deleted their draft they has created.. I have no part in this sockpuppet investigation as I had not tried to even hurt someone with this account. I have only used it for the good of wikipedia and to contribute to wikipedia, you can check my contributions to verify. Thus, I kindly request you to remove this block.

Decline reason:

This is entirely unlikely. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 01:32, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

Your reason here I do not know why this is unlikely as I have rented a room with this family. Thus, I am using their IP address to edit Wikipedia. Thus, I have been collateral damage of the block and kindly request an unblock.

Decline reason:

The checkuser evidence indicates the same device has been used across the multiple accounts, not just a shared IP. I am declining your request. PhilKnight (talk) 04:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
