A question
72.82.40.251 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Hello Bbb23,
How exactly would you know whether or not I am Shāntián Tàiláng? As I told Fish bowl previously, I've only had this phone for the past two months, and nobody's ever used it to log into any accounts. (My greatest apologies for [apparently] pestering Fish bowl; I just wanted to apologize, not get this IP blocked.) And why revert so many of this IP's edits that have absolutely nothing to do with Fish bowl's talk page? It makes no sense to me. 72.82.40.251 (talk) 23:32, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
The basis of the block is described at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shāntián Tàiláng as well as the archive linked to on that page. Edits by blocked users are not allowed to stand, otherwise that defeats the purpose of the block. If you want your edits to stand, you either (if you are this user) need to request unblock from your account or (if you aren't) convince us that you aren't. 331dot (talk) 08:20, 14 October 2023 (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.
- @331dot and Bbb23: how in blazes can I convince you of the truth--namely, that I'm NOT Shāntián Tàiláng? Because I'm not entirely sure how you catch actual socks, but you clearly have a false positive in my case! Can you not use your Check User thing to prove me right? 72.82.40.251 (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address. |
