Request reason:
I assume some disgruntled child sock operators who have a beef with me at English Wikipedia created some knock-off accounts like User:Cyphoidbomber as a way of passive-aggressively sticking it to me. It's not the first time. [3][4]. I don't believe I've edited at Simple, but my history of 24,000+ constructive edits, the fact that I've never been blocked, and my prolific anti-vandal/anti-sock work should make it evident that this block is well-intended but erroneous. I've posted a comment at Djsasso's talk page on English Wiki in case there are any questions about my identity. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:25, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I can't unblock the account because it was blocked validly. But if you want to try and usurp the account please go make a request at meta:Steward requests/Username changes and mention the impersonation. -- DJSasso (talk) 15:56, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Djsasso I'm confused -- I'm editing under my unified login as Cyphoidbomb and asking that this Simple Wikipedia account, which I clearly can edit without having to usurp, be unblocked. Where is the vandalism that was generated from this account, such that an indef block can't be reversed? I understand if this account had been blocked preemptively because similarly-named accounts existed and were causing disruptions, but from what I can see there is no other rationale for blocking. I can access and change prefs at this account, my account name appears when I edit this talk page--why would I need to usurp an account that is already mine?

- I thought you meant this account was a spoof of you when you asked me because you mentioned knock off accounts. If that isn't the case then I will have to look into it again. But if I recall correctly at the time it matched some sock puppet accounts that were going on. -DJSasso (talk) 15:21, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Djsasso, my fault for lack of clarity. I'm only aware of the Cyphoidbomber spoof account here at Simple. This one, Cyphoidbomb, is not a spoof account, it is my actual unused account. If you wish to perform a CheckUser or something before unblocking me, I'll volunteer for that, but I believe my reputation should speak for itself. Here is your likely suspect, by the way, a disruptive child from Aberdeen, Scotland. Note please the anti-Cyphoidbomb accounts and my participation in the SPIs. Oh, and I believe Simple user Stylefume is the same vandal, based on the inclusion of the imaginary country "Jetania", one of the vandal's hallmarks, as detailed in the linked SPI report. Please let me know how you wish to proceed, as I'm hoping to get my account unblocked quickly so I can get this matter off my plate. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- I've unblocked. I am not sure if it was a CU block thinking back so it might have just been a en:WP:DUCK block so I have removed it. Sorry for any inconvenience. -DJSasso (talk) 18:49, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- Djsasso No probs. Thanks for the help. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:42, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

Hey it's Shapin36 I am Not Blocked in English Wikipedia I am Blocked in Wikipedia when I try to edit a article in Wikipedia it says Your account is blocked from editing. The block was made by Cyphoidbomb for the following reason:
Persistent addition of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:INTREF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:INTREF">unsourced content</a>. No attempt to discuss.
thanks💗💗💗 Shapin36 (talk) 13:10, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Shapin36: The only place where I am an administrator is at the English Wikipedia. So you must be blocked there. You're currently talking to me at the Simple Wikipedia. Based on the block summary, I surmise you are editing from IP 67.247.254.3. If that is correct, any request to be unblocked would have to be made there.

Hello This is user shapin36 Why did you block my IP address? Please unblock me Shapin36 (talk) 18:06, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Shapin36: Please stop communicating with me here at the Simple Wikipedia. This is terribly inefficient. If you want to discuss your IP block, go to the English Wikipedia and discuss your block there as I noted above. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:13, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
