unblock

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

---

Request reason:

I lost my password to my previous account. I then opened a new account (with a similar name on purpose so as not to mislead). I stopped editing with the old account because I lost the password. Sometimes, I found it after a while but didn't edit to fake a consensus of multiple users. My passwords were complicated so I lost them several times and had a series of usernames, none of them really used except for the most recently opened account. Please unblock this account, which I have the password. I promise not to use the other accounts but they can't because they are blocked.Lakeshook (talk) 22:00, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I lost my password to my previous account. I then opened a new account (with a similar name on purpose so as not to mislead). I stopped editing with the old account because I lost the password. Sometimes, I found it after a while but didn't edit to fake a consensus of multiple users.

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I lost my password to my previous account. I then opened a new account (with a similar name on purpose so as not to mislead).

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

See also User talk:Lakeshake which I admit losing the password and linking my account.

I believe that problem is that I am being attacked for expressing views on blocking. Someone then violated my privacy by running a checkuser and then using that as an excuse to ban me forever. Those other usernames, I forgot the password. However, I didn't use them together. When I lost the password, I created a new user with a similar name and stopped using the old username (because I couldn't remember the password). This is permitted when you lose the password. Lakeshook (talk) 22:08, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

You're not being "attacked". Altogether, since November 23, 2016, you have created seven six accounts. Most are similarly named. One, Ken Lou, is not. Mostly you edited them serially, but two had an overlap on November 29. That's a lot of passwords to forget. Nonetheless, I'll consider unblocking this one account, which is the latest in the series, but I'd like other administrators' input as to whether your editing of any of the accounts consitutes abusive behavior. I'll ping a few of them that commented at the Talk page of the blocking policy or were otherwise involved with you and see what they think: @NeilN: @Risker: @Zzuuzz: --Bbb23 (talk) 22:15, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

I've nothing to add to Bbb23's comments and suggested course of action. Please stick to one account. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 22:22, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

I was afraid of hackers so my password was too complicated to remember. But you are right, I never edited an article like "Hitler was good" and a sock writing "I agree". I agree to make the password less complicated so that I can remember it but not so easy that it is easy to guess. Thank you if you unblock. Sorry for my clumsiness but nothing sinister was done. Lakeshook (talk) 22:24, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Seven accounts is a lot. And I'm not thrilled with your contributions at Talk:Trump. More comments similar to this will result in a quick reblock. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 22:30, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

See, I was even open about it, writing that the oldest account is retired and that I found my password. https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Lake_of_Milk&diff=765520999&oldid=755025291 Also, it is six, not seven.

As to Trump, I hate that article and all the fighting and don't intend to edit it. Not a topic ban, but just general distaste for the article. Also note that NeilN's link is INACCURATE because I fixed it and made it much more polite. NeilN quoted the old, pre-revision version which I, myself, didn't like and fixed.

Lakeshook (talk) 22:24, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

You are correct about one thing. It's six accounts, not seven. I've struck and replaced the number up higher. Doesn't change anything, though.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:40, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Looking at the above comment, I'm leaning towards thinking dealing with this editor would be a timesink. Another editor removed the comment: [1]. Lakeshook characterized it as a personal attack [2] and then complained, "If you remove comments, not only is that against Wikipedia practices, but is also something evil the Devil would do. You are a Christian." --NeilN ^{talk to me} 23:49, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

please

Oh my, Bbb23, you just outed me when you mentioned my real name Ken. Lakeshook (talk) 22:41, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

This is consistent with your troubles on Talk:Trump. Having a little knowledge of policies and guidelines and misapplying them. Bbb23 mentioned an account you registered. A list of them is here: Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Lake of Milk. He said nothing about it being your real name. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 23:33, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

They are not sockpuppets because sockpuppets are multiple accounts to fake a consensus. They, as the checkuser Bbb23 states, are serial users which I created due to lost passwords. Please unblock. This is too much when you block and then walk away and don't unblock when the reason to block is found to be faulty.

I looked and I see that one user, Ken Lou, is not me. I did not make that edit. However, not surprising as this is a lounge computer. Luckily, Ken Lou has not edited anything bad. Lakeshook (talk) 16:34, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
