While I appreciate that you may be making an effort to be as gentle as possible in promoting the Tigrayan point of view on the English Wikipedia, your continued editing may prejudice your opportunities to avail of the standard offer of magnanimity.

Since it is obvious that your native language is not English, have you considered contributing constructively and collegiately to another Wikimedia project in a different language while you wait out six months of inactivity?

An excerpt from WP:SOCK:

"

The origin of the term "sock puppet" is a type of toy puppet.

To maintain accountability and increase community trust, editors are generally expected to use only one account. While there are some valid reasons for maintaining multiple accounts, it is improper to use multiple accounts (called sock puppetry, or socking) to deceive or mislead other editors, disrupt discussions, distort consensus, avoid sanctions, evade blocks, or otherwise violate community standards and policies.

Sock puppetry takes various forms:

• Logging out to make problematic edits as an IP address
• Creating new accounts to avoid detection
• Using another person's account (piggybacking)
• Reviving old unused accounts (sometimes referred to as sleepers) and presenting them as different users
• Persuading friends or colleagues to create accounts for the purpose of supporting one side of a dispute (usually called meatpuppetry)

Misuse of multiple accounts is a serious breach of community trust. It may lead to:

• a block of all affected accounts
• a ban of the user (the sockmaster or sockpuppeteer) behind the accounts (each of which is a sockpuppet or sock)
• on-project exposure of all accounts and IP addresses used across Wikipedia and its sister projects
• the (potential) public exposure of any "real-world" activities or personal information deemed relevant to preventing future sock puppetry or certain other abuses.

An editor using multiple accounts for valid reasons should, on each account's user page, list all the other accounts with an explanation of their purpose (see below). Optionally, the user and user talk pages of some of the accounts can be redirected to those of another. Editors who use unlinked alternative accounts, or who edit as an IP address editor separate from their account, should carefully avoid any crossover on articles or topics because even innocuous activities such as copy editing, wikifying, or linking might be considered sock puppetry in some cases and innocuous intentions will not usually serve as an excuse." --BushelCandle (talk) 23:21, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
