Request reason:

Dear (talk) I was making a number of what I feel were constructive edits on a range of topics without actually logging in. Thus I was doing so via my IP Address. This was not an attempt at Sock Puppetry, more one of laziness in not bothering to log in. The written style and topics commented on myself when not logged in and when logged in are identical and rather obvious, so I did not think this would be taken as evasion or vandalism. I do also feel my edits have been largely good and accurate, usually, as in the case of Celtic Britons, Assyrian people, Assyria, Babylonia etc they are accurate and where necessary referenced, though I admit I have not placed citations on absolutely everything, but I feel few do. I do not believe I have made outlandish, offensive or wildly inaccurate contributions. I am fully prepared to only make edits or contributions whilst logged in in future, and to provide references/citations for any edits made.

Decline reason:

You are blocked because you are believed to be the blocked user, EddieDrood (talk · contribs), not because you've been making edits while signed out. Yamla (talk) 11:41, 29 July 2017 (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 did used to have that account. But have not used it in some considerable time, and actually until yesterday had lost the password for it.. The Eddie Drood account was blocked if I remember correctly due to editing Assyrian people when there was a bar on editing it, I may be wrong, but I believe it was subsequent to commenting on the Talk page, which also had a bar. I would like to respectfully point out that my current account, and IP address has not been involved in Sock Puppetry, any serious edit warring, or making any wildly inaccurate, vandalistic, offensive, disruptive or unsupportable contributions. I have no intention of doing so. Would only use one account, and only use when logged in, and would not engage in edit wars. I do believe that I have made good contributions to a number of Wiki pages, Celtic Britons, Assyria, Babylonia among others, and hope and believe I can be a good contributor. I believe I have learned from any mistakes made in the past and would like another opportunity to prove this. Anything I did in future I would obviously expect a block

Decline reason:

As your previous account is still blocked, this account and your near-constant editing while logged out do indeed make you "involved in sock puppetry." You'll need to clear up the previous block first. The deceptive nature of your unblock request with your mobile IP is gong to make it difficult to take anything at face value, however.

...and yet I just hardblocked 79.79.36.164 where you are evading your block. Here is your edit from the other blocked IP which makes it clear from the edit you just tried today. Want to explain that?

For reviewing admins to also compare that this account uses these IPs:

(talk) I am not 79.79.36.164, the only other IP address I use is the one to which I am already linked, and I have made no attempt to deny this. Kuru (talk) I have not been Sock Puppeting while logged out. I have never denied editing while logged out. However, that is all it is, editing while logged out. I did not to pretend to be somebody else, wrote in the same style, and commented on the same subjects. In addition, from what I understand of the guidelines, it is not sock puppetting or against Wikipedia rules to edit whilst logged out. Yamla (talk stated I had not been blocked for editing when I had been logged out at all, but because I was believed to be Eddie Drood, which was the name of my old account (again, something I have not denied), not used for any purpose for some time. So I am somewhat confused here? I would rather have the old EddieDrood account deleted. I actually do not want more than one account. If I cleared up the previous account, I would be left with two accounts, and so be open to accusations of sock puppetry in any case. Also, does not the actual contributions I make count for anything. I do feel some have been good, well written and well referenced.

I'm not sure how to be more clear. You, the person, are blocked from editing wikipedia. You may not edit, at all, with accounts or logged out, until those blocks are resolved. By doing so, you are evading your block. By creating accounts and editing you are engaged in sock puppetry. Kuru (talk) 12:04, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kuru (talk) Well then, how do I go about this? I have received conflicting information about why I was blocked; A] Making too many edits whilst logged out = Sock puppeting. B] Making edits while logged out is Not Sock Puppeting, the real reason is used to have an account EddieDrood. I am not interested in having more than one account, so how do I remove or close down the Eddie Drood account? Also, I thought that Sock Puppeting was pretending to be two separate people, and that having more than one account, in itself, was not against Wiki rules? And I have not used my current account and Eddie Drood in tandem/unison. Regardless of feeling slightly confused about this, I reiterate that I only wish for one account.

Kuru (talk), Berean Hunter (talk), Yamla (talk, May I ask how I can resolve this, if at all? From what I have read today, I cannot remove the old Eddie Drood account. As I am blocked, I cannot have a Fresh Start, I have read some things regarding Merging Accounts, Changing Names and so on. But, to be honest I have no idea how I can possibly resolve this? I do only wish to have one account name, and to only use it whilst logged in, and whilst using it, to edit responsibly and accurately. If there were some way I could merge, close off, rename, retire the old account I would do so. I hope the edits I have made from this account, and my IP Address, indicate that I am making good contributions to Wikipedia on subjects and talk pages, not edit warring, making offensive, wildly inaccurate or vandalising entries, and nor am I pretending to be two people. I would really actually like to have one account, which is wholly transparent and open, and have the chance to show that I can be a good contributor. In hindsight, I should not have opened a new account after the Eddie Drood one was blocked. I had felt the block had been very harsh, however I did not go about things in the right manner at all. I would hope that on this account, that I have shown that I have learned from and refrained from making those mistakes. But, as I say, I have no information or guidelines regarding how I can possibly resolve this issue? I do not wish to keep making unblock requests, as I imagine this in itself could be construed as disruptive.

Decline reason:

You were POV-pushing years ago when your original account was blocked. You were still POV-pushing when this account was blocked. You would continue to push your POV if you were unblocked. Huon (talk) 23:28, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Huon (talk That is not the case. I have continued to post in many topics, they were, I think, well written, referenced and balanced. Everybody has a POV, however I have never vandalised a page, made wild, unsupported claims, nor attempted to shoehorn in opinions or statements that go against mainstream academic opinion. If I have done these things, where are the examples? I have debated with certain persons who could equally be accused of editing with a PPOV attitude. Far more easily in some cases than could I.
