Hi, I am a sockpuppet - Oscar248 etc. My intentions for editing were initially good - felt like some right wing articles were biased - this plays into the base of these groups in a vicious cycle. I would like to (eventually) constructively edit Wikipedia as I feel there are large gaps of information in some subjects such as Geography, Transport etc. I have great trouble dropping the stick - because I (rightly or wrongly) think that consensus is not always correctly applied and can lead to opinion pushing on the site. I also have had a lot of enjoyment editing the controversial pages even if I am not suited to them. I hope to try and better control this if I am allowed back on the site.

Perhaps the standard offer (22nd July or later) is the best option, to come back on Oscar248. I have other, more important hobbies such as my running. My eagerness to edit has led to me creating more sockpuppets. I would like to be unblocked now but I understand why I am not going to be. I am really not sure how to make myself a better editor as my interest in my view of articles being factual takes over.

I understand why my account and others like mine have been banned, some edits are disruptive. The issue we have with the indefinite blocks is it makes it look like there is no return to the site for the editor. Blocked editors believe that the best thing to do is to sockpuppet because it is too difficult for them to get their real account unblocked. It is so easy for people to sockpuppet that it is done a lot of the time unnoticed. Sockpuppetting is such a common occurrence that I reckon many so called good standing editors (great editors even) are technically sockpuppets. I will try to not be silly and avoid sockpuppeting, so I return to good standing at some point. User:MjolnirPants made some really helpful statements earlier about the different aspects of political pages - thanks. I might just take up your advice of starting a blog. All Editors: in the meantime if you want to talk about anything to do with my editing and sockpuppetry or articles, feel free to do so.

I am truly sorry for all the disruption caused - believe me that it is not my intention to mess up the site. There is enough good people on Wikipedia to keep it great. Thanks to all the tireless contributions of all the editors who have made the site what it is.

Thanks, Alex
