Speedy deletion nomination of Convent of Jesus and Mary, Shimla[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Convent of Jesus and Mary, Shimla requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.admission24.com/school/himachal-pradesh/shimla/convent-of-jesus-and-mary/3542. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ~ Amkgp 💬 20:36, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
Unblock request[edit]
Germanic Boy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I was mistakenly blocked as a stock just because I showed interest in editing articles related to Shimla, the place where I live. I request you to please unblock my account.
Decline reason:
You were confirmed as a sockpuppet, a simple denial is insufficient. You must address the findings at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ak 770/Archive. Yamla (talk) 18:43, 31 January 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.
@Yamla: But I cannot edit the page you have mentioned as it is protected. But you may yourself check other users that have shown interest in Shimla related articles have also been wrongly suspected like @Aj Ajay Mehta 007:. They were not blocked unlike my account. Also the user @Amkgp: that suspected me for being a stock has also blocked for operating multiple accounts. Germanic Boy (talk) 20:56, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- It would be inappropriate for you to edit that page. Make your arguments here in a new unblock request. And it's "sock" or "sockpuppet", not "stock". --Yamla (talk) 21:31, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Also the user @Amkgp: that suspected me of being a sock has also blocked for operating multiple accounts. It's been over a year now and I request to unblock my account.
Decline reason:
The block was not a mistake. It was not a general interest in Shimla that got you blocked. Once you're ready to address the real issues you can appeal from your original account. Cabayi (talk) 12:18, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@Cabayi: I have no other account than this one and it is the original. How can I appeal from any other account. Also I donot know what the real issues that you are taking about were. You can check my IP from the time when I was blocked to check if I am really a sock. I am waiting for your reply before appealing for another request. Germanic Boy (talk) 13:04, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
As per the Sockpuppet investigations I was only blocked and I quote for "Re-creation of Convent of Jesus and Mary, Shimla and recent edits mostly centers around Shimla". And the user who mentioned this himself got blocked. Germanic Boy (talk) 13:08, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, that's it. Convent of Jesus and Mary, Shimla was created and deleted four times in one month. All of them copies of the convent's website. If you have a convincing explanation for that "coincidence" that does not involve you being, or working with, the other three editors, please tell us.
- The appeal needs to be about you and your behaviour. Discussion about Amkgp (talk · contribs) is irrelevant. Cabayi (talk) 13:43, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
@Cabayi: I surely donot know as it was a year but I was just bringing back the article by copying and pasting the source code of older versions without releasing the material was copyrighted. CJM Shimla is quite old and well known school, so I thought to do so. I did not knew the original creator of the page and it was just mere coincidence.
You may consult a Checkuser about my IP address range from that time to prove that I am not a sock. Germanic Boy (talk) 17:03, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was wrongly identified as a sock, as I was also recreating an article that me and the blocked user has common interest in. I request you to kindly unblock my account.
Decline reason:
What you say is correct that and the technical evidence is why you are blocked. What you do not say is why your block is incorrect. PhilKnight (talk) 20:02, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

@PhilKnight: I admit that it was my mistake that I created article and did copyright violation, and I am sorry for that. But my block was incorrect as I was given only one warning, after that I stopped editing that article but was later blocked on suspicion without any warning. This may be because the warnings might have been given to the account that I was being suspected of being a sock. I did not knew that user and blocking me as one of their's account is incorrect.

Decline reason:
There is no requirement for warnings, especially with copyright violations which potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy. You can keep saying the block as a sock is incorrect, but that's not enough as every sock says that. 331dot (talk) 21:31, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
