If you cannot do this or the reason is private, please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. You may want to read our guide to unblock requests before asking to be unblocked. Operator873^talkconnect 04:02, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

Why I was blocked from editing Wikipedia under the WP:SOCK?

Decline reason:

No reason given to unblock. Unblock requests are not meant to be used to ask questions. The administrators' email address (linked above) can be used for that. -- Auntof6 (talk) 06:15, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Note: The above referenced block is a CheckUser block. Matttest should respond to the email they received. Operator873^talkconnect 06:03, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

Sorry for the abuse. I promise I won’t do it anymore and make good changes instead (I would like to Patrol new pages and adding templates if it is not wikified, adding Categories, and rewriting, saving articles from deletion if needed - see my contributions before I was blocked). For me, Simple English Wikipedia is great a place for me to keep improving my English. I hope I could got unblocked so that I can resume contributing to this project. Please also see my Global Contribution. Once again, very sorry for the abuse.

Decline reason:

Does not appear to have responded to the email mentioned above. If they did then it did not make it to the admin mail list. -- Djsasso (talk) 16:12, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

@Djsasso: I have responded already. It’s because I sent the mail privately. Also, as Vermont (another CheckUser) told me to wait for a few weeks or so and not to evade the Block during the blocking period, I just did it. Furthermore, I keep my Global contributions these days.--Matttest (talk) 06:43, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Operator873 blocked you with the rationale of a checkuser block. He has seen the checkuser evidence, which means you have abused multiple accounts. This is against our rules. If Operator873 verified you have abused multiple accounts, you in all likelihood have, meaning your account was created to violate Wikipedia’s policies.

(Non-administrator observation) @KirkburnFandom: Just a comment. Matttest does admit that they abused multiple accounts in his block appeal, and that he apologises. This follows en:Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks#Understand what you did and why you have been blocked --Belwine • 💬 • 📜 19:47, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok then. I apologise. George (Kirkburn) (talk) 19:49, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

In my opinion, I don't think there is any reason for a non-admin to comment under an unblock request, unless there is a particularly compelling reason to do so. We don't want the user to interpret these comments as coming from administrators who are declining the above request. --IWI (talk) 20:00, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Unblock request

@Vermont, Operator873, Eptalon, and ImprovedWikiImprovement: I understand it's difficult to get unblocked because of CheckUser block. However I apologized and I admitted, please take a look of this unblock request and give a reason if decline this request. --Matttest (talk) 05:31, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

@Vermont, Operator873, Eptalon, and ImprovedWikiImprovement: Note: My global contributions comes from anti-vandalism, which is by improving wikimedia projects. I am here to admit that I am actually guilty in abusing several accounts. I won't use sockpuppets anymore, and I clearly understand that I violated wikipedia policies. Here I followed English Wikipedia's guide to appeal sockpuppetry unblock request : Main source:

If you actually are guilty of sockpuppetry, and want to get a second chance at editing, please do as follows:

1. Refrain from making any edits, using any account or anonymously, for a significant period of time (e.g. six months), in the English Wikipedia. You are strongly encouraged to make significant and useful contributions to other Wikimedia projects prior to appealing.

I have keep making global contributions. Also I doesn't use sockpuppets for editing for 1 year.

2. Make the unblock request from your original account.Sockpuppeteers aren't often unblocked—since they've acted dishonestly, it's hard to believe them—and the administrators certainly aren't going to unblock the sockpuppet account.

I doesn't abuse multiple accounts after I have been blocked, for 1 year.

@Operator873: I understand that you have no intention to proceed this unblock request, because I am just bad abusers that violates Wikipedia's policy, but please take a look at this request, because you are a CU and you are the admin that blocked me. You will be more familiar with this case. Thanks. --Matttest (talk) 01:08, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

For my part, barring any unexpected developments during this process, I'm happy to see Matttest reintegrate into the community. The block is, indeed, my block and I'm willing to remove it. But I'm going to give my fellow CUs an opportunity to investigate and review this case. If no troubling information is brought to light in the next 3 days, I'll remove the block. I'm allowing the time for Vermont, Eptalon, Djsasso, and others to reflect and input if they have anything to add. Operator873 ^connect 04:32, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

After a discussion with my counterparts, we've decided to allow a new start for you. You'll need to be aware that any further infraction or other breach of community policies will result in an immediate re-application of the block and it will be much more difficult to justify a 2nd removal in the future. I hope to see you reintegrate into the community and become an upstanding Wikipedian. You are welcome to clean your talk page, if you choose. I'll be unblocking momentarily. Operator873 ^connect 22:00, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the unblock and giving me a new start. -- Matttest (talk) 00:22, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you

@ImprovedWikiImprovement: Thank you for the advice. I am sorry I did this. George (Kirkburn) (talk) 20:06, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
