Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Request reason:

Your reason here. I understand the reason for the original block and I am sorry for the one-time abuse of Wikipedia rules and will not ever do that again. Wikipedia blocks are not supposed to be punitive, and unless I am told what new abuses I have committed -- I believe all my edits have been contributions (mostly all citations where "citations needed" were on the articles or unreferenced statements to which I added a citation) have been in good faith and maybe even valuable. If you want me to remove/revert all my recent contributions under this, I will comply. I feel that the person who properly asked for the original block is now bullying me, revealing personal information about (outing) me, and is herself coming close to violating Wikipedia rules. If you want to make sure that I do not contribute to Wikipedia, you can see the IP addresses I have edited from and block them if you wish. I am minding my own business and feeling bullied by this editor.

Decline reason:

Confirmed sockpuppetry. This isn't a one-time abuse of Wikipedia, you are continuing to violate our policies for months. All of your edits with this account were done in bad faith and in clear violation of WP:SOCK and WP:EVADE, policies you clearly know well. Yamla (talk) 14:32, 1 November 2022 (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.

Thank you for your prompt decision. I appreciate your resolving this matter to everyone's satisfaction.

Yamla, they're still at it. I'm about to start an SPI. Drmies (talk) 14:57, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good plan. --Yamla (talk) 16:35, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
