Request reason:

I was blocked with an indefinite expiration time by User:Favonian at 14:58, 29 March 2022 for abusing multiple accounts: User:CalebHughes, however I have no idea who User:CalebHughes is and this is my own personal account. I am a student at the University of Miami and a Hurricanes historian and I have begun to edit and revise several Miami Hurricanes Wikipedia pages that are outdated. I seemed to have been banned after creating a new Wikipedia page, Miami–Notre Dame football rivalry. I have no correlation to User:CalebHughes, and I do not know how my account got traced back to me. Please let me know if I can appeal my block. Thank you

Accept reason:

Good luck and watch your step. Favonian (talk) 21:55, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mowmee. Someone will be along again soon. Let me just ping a few people before adding a third person opinion: @Favonian, Yamla, and Girth Summit:. I have a few observations. First, technically, the technical evidence is not something I've ever seen for CalebHughes. Caleb can sometimes move around a little, and use different devices, but this as far as I'm concerned is unseen. We can place Caleb in their usual location over the past few weeks (and longer), which is not where this person appears to be. Second, and I'm not going to confirm a location, if this person is at Miami as they say, then the article (and editing history) would not be out of scope. Third, there is the content of the deleted article Miami–Notre Dame football rivalry. Mowmee, this is almost exactly the same content as CalebHughes posted, and I think the reason for that is that you didn't actually write it. I can find copies of this content here and here and here, and I haven't even had a proper look. There are some subtle differences from the version CalebHughes added, and much can be explained by the standard structure of these articles. In summary, I'd be inclined to say unrelated, but a lesson about copyright is due. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My investigation matches that of zzuuzz. I think Mowmee should specifically account for that article. --Yamla (talk) 11:40, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm convinced by the CUs' comments that this user is not CH, and I also agree that further steps will depend on a satisfactory answer to the question of "attribution". Favonian (talk) 18:07, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thank you for your response. It's greatly appreciated. I'm very new to Wikipedia, so I'm still learning the ropes. As for the Miami–Notre Dame football rivalry, I created the page myself based on pre-existing pages with a similar format. I was unaware that other users have created a page similar to this in the past. I did use the excerpt from article, however I intended to change that in the near future. Thank you.
Thanks for the ping zzuuzz. As I noted at the SPI case, I thought that it was unlikely to be CH based on the CU data, but the creation of an identical article needed to be explained. I think that the explanation offered - that they copy-pasted from a Fandom article - seems believable, and I would support an unblock if Mowmee would undertake to familiarise themselves with WP:COPYRIGHT/WP:COPYVIO, and WP:RS. In short Mowmee: don't copy stuff from other websites onto Wikipedia (even temporarily), everything should be written in your own words, and even if you are using text that is released for re=use, it needs to be attributed; also, Fandom is user-generated, it is not considered a reliable source, its content guidelines are very different from our own, so even basing an article here based something over there is unlikely to be appropriate. Girth Summit (blether) 11:36, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. I'll do some more research about Wikipedia such as its content guidelines. I'll also look into sourcing. Thank you so much. Mowmee (talk) 18:32, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Mowmee[reply]
I'll pass this back to Favonian, with a recommendation to consider unblocking. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:50, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Miami–Notre Dame football rivalry, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Mowmee. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Miami–Notre Dame football rivalry".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:29, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
