Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Bibliophile1970 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bibliophile1970. 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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Girth Summit _(blether) 14:24, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Afsar Muhammad (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am being wrongly associated as a sock puppet of a blocked user. I am amazed that despite declaring my conflict of interest as per Wikipedia guidelines, I have been blocked. Also, I have not made any direct changes on the page, rather suggested on the talk page for other editors/administrators to review Afsar Muhammad (talk) 07:28, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I concur with the findings at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bibliophile1970/Archive. Yamla (talk) 11:31, 29 October 2024 (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.

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).

Afsar Muhammad (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am concerned about being linked to the blocked user Bibliophile1970. It appears to be a coincidence that prior users have attempted to edit the same page. I have clearly declared my Conflict of Interest (COI) and request that my account be unblocked so that my revision suggestions can be considered objectively.

I have no association with previous editors or any alleged sock puppets, and since those accounts have already been blocked, I hope we can now address my concerns on the page with a neutral approach. Otherwise, I may regrettably interpret this as an indication of editorial bias and a promotion of incomplete information for the public.Afsar Muhammad (talk) 09:59, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I too concur with the findings. You can interpret that how you wish. 331dot (talk) 15:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Afsar Muhammad (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I would appreciate an independent opinion on this matter. I maintain my stance about being mistakenly linked to an unblocked user I have no connection to. I have already declared a COI and in good faith I am requesting the unblocking of my account. I assure you I will completely adhere to Wikipedia policies and refrain from any actions that could violate them.Afsar Muhammad (talk) 09:54, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

Afsar Muhammad (talk) 09:54, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Afsar, multiple administrators with access to technical logs have come to the conclusion that this account is operated by the same person/group as the others in that sockpuppet investigation. Simply denying that this is the case is unlikely to lead to a successful unblock. Are you able to explain why it might look like you are technically connected to these other accounts? It doesn't really look good. Alternatively, you can admit to using multiple accounts, accept the standard offer (see WP:SO), and agree to abide by the conflict of interest rules at WP:COI when you return. -- asilvering (talk) 00:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI I have no access to technical logs, I'm just going by the SPI. 331dot (talk) 09:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
