Kintu Muhammad moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Kintu Muhammad, 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.

Blocked for sockpuppetry

Stop icon
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MrTallBoy. 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 for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 23:36, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
To be unblocked you will need to address why technical evidence strongly suggests you have used multiple accounts, such as Protais1, to remove speedy deletion notices and move drafts to article space. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 23:39, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Requesting Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

24eeWikiUser (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Dear Admins, I regret the situation for being blocked. I now know that I am responsible for my accounts activities and the block is no longer necessary because I now understand what I have been blocked for, so I will not do it again. MrTallBoy (talk) 06:06, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This is an entirely generic unblock request. As suggested below, please read WP:GAB to understand how to craft an appropriate unblock request. It should directly address the problems that lead to your block. Yamla (talk) 10:29, 31 October 2022 (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.

MrTallBoy, you should disclose all the accounts you have used here as part of this unblock request for transparency. I would also suggest reading WP:GAB. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 10:26, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

24eeWikiUser (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

My accounts are User:MrTallBoy , User:Protais1 and User:Protais123 . The technical reason I have many accounts is, I started editing with User:MrTallBoy in August 2021 I was having to train new volunteers in my community publicly and due to my privacy I created new account to use in public which is User:Protais1 . I did many edit-athons in that short period of time and in November 2021 during Edit-athon I faced Ip address range block so to continue with public training it took me the creating of a new account which is User:Protais123 . After those situations I tried to manage the use of all accounts properly but here we are. I request to be unblocked because I understand the mistakes to which I will not do again. MrTallBoy (talk) 11:57, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

It seems more likely to me that you created multiple accounts so you could gain an advantage. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:00, 1 November 2022 (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.

Thank you. Dear admin it seems to be true, and I understand but as I explained above from the beginning that was not my intention so I assure you not to repeat the mistake. MrTallBoy (talk) 18:57, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

This does not mention Claver into, nor does it address why you were inappropriately requesting one of your sockpuppet accounts, Protais1, be unblocked as well. --Yamla (talk) 12:02, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

To be clear, I'm not claiming that Claver into is definitely this person, even though they are a confirmed sockpuppet. Other explanations could apply. --Yamla (talk) 12:12, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
User:Claver into is not in my user account possibly it can be someone whom we share same IP address, but it is not mine. MrTallBoy (talk) 16:05, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Another possibility is, sometimes during the edit-a-thons users especially new used to login to Wikipedia with my device. You can try to check again before confirming of User:claver into as my sockpuppet. MrTallBoy (talk) 16:20, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

Dear admins, after appealing what's next and how long can I kindly wait to be unblocked? MrTallBoy (talk) 12:10, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Please don't submit multiple unblock requests. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:00, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

I do not take appeals of my blocks by email unless there is a good reason. In this case I think your appeals should stay on this talk page. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 21:14, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

24eeWikiUser (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

My edits merit block because I have been crossing borders of community open tasks with multiple accounts, like where I moved some articles from draft space into article space. After reading the open tasks of Wikipedia editors on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_portal/Open_tasks I regret that I have been violating rules, I apologize to the people I offended and I am asking second chance because now I know my mistakes, I aim to learn from them and do constructive edits by following community open tasks.


The facts regarding my unblock requests and anything I mentioned here are listed below:

  1. In second unblock request I mentioned that I created my second account (user:Protais1) in August 2021 due to public editing, I was helping community in training people to participate in Wiki Loves Women 2021. here is the link to dashboard: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_User_Group_Rwanda/Wiki_Loves_Women_2021_in_Rwanda/home .
  2. I mentioned that I created the third account ( user:Protais123 ) on November 10, 2021 due to Ip block, I first apologize that I did not manage to handle the Ip block properly so it led to creating of new account, we were in edit-a-thon of WIKIGAP 2021 KIGALI and I was also helping with training new editors. Here is the dashboard link of project: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_User_Group_Rwanda/WIKIGAP_2021_KIGALI/home .
  3. After the block I have created another account (User: Uwayezu protais ) on November 7 which caused block evasion, I apologise for this because it happened after I tried to reach out to an admin who blocked me through email with the request to be unblocked so that I can perform the activity I was planned to but sadly he/she did not accept, I was planned to train new editors in ongoing campaign named 'Africa Youth Month 2022’. Here is dashboard link: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/WikiVibrance_and_Africa_Knowledge_Initiative/Africa_Youth_Month_2022_in_Rwanda . I deeply apologise to this because I had not thought about other alternatives like assigning that task to other volunteers rather than creating a new account.

Dear Dreamy, I regret to have misunderstood how to appeal a block for sockpuppetry. Being my first time, like where I had wrongly appealed on other account that was indicted. I direly appeal to your understanding that I never had any of these accounts to my advantage but for the sake of the local community in Rwanda I introduced Wikipedia. We all learn every day. I am a human and I am identifiable on my Meta. The network issue in Rwanda as a developing country and my ignorance of sockpuppetry made it very easy for me to think reopening multiple accounts to keep editing was any good. If I intended evil against the work being done here, I would not have used similar names. Enthusiasm sold me out. This has been a cautionary and eye-opening block for me, and I would appreciate a second chance. MrTallBoy (talk) 18:09, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Declining per Yamla's concerns below, WP:SO seems like the best route to restoring editing privileges. I would recommend making positive contributions to other language Wikipedias or other Wikimedia projects in the meantime. signed, Rosguill talk 23:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Dear Dreamy, I am sorry for bothering I need your help otherwise your advice MrTallBoy (talk) 21:20, 9 November 2022 (UTC).
I recommend reviewing checkusers check the checkuserwiki for this case with regards to Uwayezu Protais (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log· investigate · cuwiki). Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 10:06, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
I have received your email. Since there is an open appeal here, and I have a dislike for WP:ADMINSHOPping, I'll leave it at that. Cabayi (talk) 10:08, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
noted, thank you.MrTallBoy (talk) 23:22, 11 November 2022 (UTC)


Your statement that this happened because I was not having any other choice regarding the creation of Uwayezu Protais is not sufficient to address the concerns. You could have asked another volunteer take the session(s) on or just help specific to editing the English Wikipedia. Creating a new account is block evasion and has negatively affected the chances of a successful appeal. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 07:29, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
I really apologise for this, I thought approaching the admins would be helpful. I didn't think about other alternatives. MrTallBoy (talk) 07:38, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
noting for continuity that the unblock request was changed to remove the part which I quoted Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 15:00, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
Dear Dreamy, accept my apology if i did a mistake to change the unblock request. I was trying to clarify the message as you have said that my statement was not sufficient to address the concern.MrTallBoy (talk) 15:34, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
Generally if an editor has replied to your comment modifying it means you should keep the original text but strike it out. WP:TALK#REPLIED describes this well. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 10:25, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Dreamy, it's learnt and noted. MrTallBoy (talk) 10:32, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
Dear Dreamy, If you get time please can you go through my latest appeal? Feel my apologies and consider my given factors, I wish my appeal to be successful but if not please share me the feedback so I can keep learning, thank you. MrTallBoy (talk) 13:04, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
I'll have a look and get back to you. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 22:07, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Alright, thank you. MrTallBoy (talk) 01:47, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Dear Dreamy, I'm still waiting for you. Your little time on my appeal will be highly appreciated, thank you. MrTallBoy (talk) 16:46, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
I think the current text of the appeal covers the concerns raised so far. I don't review appeals of my own blocks so that I can give proper review by another admin. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 22:29, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
Dear Dreamy, thank you for your feedback and I am humbly waiting for a proper review. MrTallBoy (talk) 02:02, 26 November 2022 (UTC)


If an admin feels an unblock is appropriate consider me supporting such an unblock. I would recommend that any unblock be a conditional unblock that limits this person to using one account and potentially also to disclose any conflicts of interest, and that I would recommend that the conditions be made indefinite. If this hangs around without action for a few more weeks, I will consider a conditional unblock. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 00:10, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
Dear Dreamy, thank you for the feedback that you are supporting my unblock, I humbly understand and accept the conditions you recommended.MrTallBoy (talk) 19:47, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
Dear Dreamy, hope you are doing great! I wanted to remind you that weeks have passed without any action from other admins on my block appeal. I have tried to approach some, but they leave my appeal open. I think now it is in your hands for me to get second chance. If I get another chance, I will try my best to never violate other Wikipedia policies again. Thank you. MrTallBoy (talk) 15:45, 22 December 2022 (UTC)


Dear Yamla, I hope you are doing great! If you get time soon, please can you go through my current appeal on this talk page. Thank you. MrTallBoy (talk) 12:00, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Given your continued sockpuppetry and block evasion, I think it would be inappropriate to unblock you at this time. I think you need to demonstrate you understand and will follow our policies and guidelines. WP:SO is a good place to start. I'll leave your unblock request open for another admin to review, but I oppose unblocking you at this time. --Yamla (talk) 12:27, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Yamla on the feedback, but through all above texts I tried to clarify the concerns of my block which all were not my intention, I have given the facts and apologized to everyone, and I aimed to follow the Wikipedia policies and guidelines than before because now I know more. If you did not go through the feedback from admin Dreamy on this page please do, I confidently feel like I deserve what he/she said. I much more prefer conditional unblock than WP:SO because this block has been affecting negatively most of community works, like in November it slightly affected the implementation of Africa Youth Month campaign in Rwanda dashboard, right now it is also affecting indirectly the running of Wiki Loves Women campaign in RWanda Dashboard, and soon others are coming. So, feel me when I push on appeal because I am afraid that it will affect more Wikimedia activities, campaigns/projects if block last longer. As I said in my appeal, we all learn every day, I am a human, and I am identifiable on my Meta. The network issue in Rwanda as a developing country and my ignorance of sockpuppetry made it very easy for me to think reopening multiple accounts to keep editing was any good. If I intended evil against the work being done here, I would not have used similar names. MrTallBoy (talk) 22:26, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello Drmies, I hope you are doing great! If you get time soon, please can you help through my open appeal on this talk page. Thank you.MrTallBoy (talk) 09:46, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Dear Cabayi, hope you are doing great. Please if you get time can go through my open appeal. Thank you. MrTallBoy (talk) 17:07, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, MrTallBoy. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Kigali City wetlands relocation".

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! 07:58, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello Liz, thank you for information I would like to retrieve the article but I am waiting my block appeal to be reviewed, thank you. MrTallBoy (talk) 21:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


Hello Rosguill, hope you are doing fine! thank you on the decision of declining the appeal. I understand and wish I would be able to follow the best route of restoring editing privileges safely as Yamla said but, as I pushed harder to appeal 4 times with heart of learning and giving all needed information to cover all raised concerns since my block, and as I appealed to Dreamy and explained highly to Yamla's feedback how this decision is affecting our community works that is being done on English Wikipedia, I mostly wish to get a chance of restoring my editing privileges in a different way. I aim to learn every day and never do a mistake understand well. I am ashamed of requesting the unblock fifth times, on your understandings if you can give any help, advise or feedback it will be highly appreciated, thank you.

I suggested that you follow the WP:SO procedure, which means waiting 6 months before making another request. You are encouraged to make contributions to other Wikimedia projects while waiting. I would recommend not pinging admins to your request, regardless of whether you continue to appeal now or wait for an SO request, as this gives the impression of WP:ADMINSHOPPING and is unnecessary: formal unblock requests are automatically added to a queue that is patrolled regularly by admins. Moreover, most admins who have previously blocked an editor or declined an unblock request are unwilling to review further requests as personal policy. I for one am definitely not going to have changed my mind as the last admin to decline your request. signed, Rosguill talk 20:43, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

24eeWikiUser (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Dear admins, hope you’re doing well. In October last year I was blocked from editing English Wikipedia because of two reasons, one was that checkuser had confirmed that I was using multiple accounts, hence I was sockpupet of the accounts user:MrTallBoy, user:Protais1 ,and user:Protais123. The second was because due to lack of knowledge at that time I violated community open tasks borders. I apologize for everything to everyone, I will not do this again. I regret what happened, I apologize to the community of volunteers I offended and I am asking second chance because now I know my mistakes, I aim to learn from them and do constructive edits by following community open tasks with using one user account.

Accept reason:

Unblocked under the following conditions: 1) maintain only one account 2) scrupulously avoid COI editing. Jayron32 14:12, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Dear SQL, hope you are doing well. I do not have access to edit at WP:AN, so I choose to answer your question here as a right place. What you can expect from me in unblocked mode is the constructive edits, and to continue helping new editors with some editing trainings in my community on English Wikipedia.

While I was blocked, with hundreds edits I constructively contributed to the following wikis:

Thank you for your consideration.

I will copy this over to WP:AN. Thank you for your prompt reply. --Jayron32 18:14, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
You are most welcome. MrTallBoy (talk) 18:25, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
There seems to be a rough consensus that you may be unblocked so long as 1) You agree to maintain only this one account, and don't create any alternate accounts and 2) That you scrupulously adhere to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidance. If you can agree to that, the blocking admin concedes to the unblock, and there doesn't seem to be any objection. --Jayron32 13:51, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello @Jayron32, hope you’re doing well. I agree to all above conditions, thank you so much. MrTallBoy (talk) 14:07, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
You've been unblocked. Welcome back, and I look forward to your positive contributions going forward. --Jayron32 14:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Thank you, I appreciate the second chance you gave me I will use it properly. MrTallBoy (talk) 14:39, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
