Blocked as a sockpuppet

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of Vinonyi3 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · logs · block log · arb · rfc · lta · SPI · cuwiki) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

Request reason:

The two accounts belong to me but I set up this account because I had forgotten my password and had no way of accessing the other one until much later. I have not done anything to violate the rules. I made a single edit when I was logged out and I didn't realise until much later. I don't edit often so in this instance I clearly didn't mean to violate any rules.

Decline reason:

Clearly abusive. You did not disclose that this was an alternate account. There's an overlap in editing, refuting your claim that you had no access to the other account. And there's a substantial overlap in articles. Yamla (talk) 12:58, 6 May 2020 (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.
