Some comments
[edit]Do not cast aspersions about other editors. Suggesting that someone's sympathies lie with Nazism (even if followed up by a "oh, I'm not implying anything") is not acceptable, unless you actually have some proper evidence.
Your appearance on that page, out of the blue, appeared quite odd, hence why I felt it necessary to alert you to the policies on sockpuppetry. Also, if you were asked by someone outside of Wikipedia to comment there, that is considered a form of sockpuppetry, called meatpuppetry which is also against policy.
Please bear this in mind when editing. Thanks, cheerio, and happy editing. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 14:48, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Mako001 I'm sorry for calling someone a Nazi, although I genuinely don't understand why people think I'm a sock puppet - I made this account like 6 months ago (my first and only Wikipedia account) and I have a clear history of editing various spelling/grammar mistakes before involving myself in the edit war on the Totalitarianism page. What could I have possibly done to not get labelled a sock puppet? Apparently having a half-year-old account with numerous edits isn't enough, so what is? I don't even know who to message/appeal my ban to. This whole situation is extremely silly and it's ridiculous that the whims of some Wiki admin is enough to get my account entirely banned. Anyways, thanks for notifying me. If I ever manage to get this account unbanned I'll make sure to be more civil towards other editors and to not accuse people of being biased.

Request reason:
Hello, I was recently blocked by admin Doug Weller for being a suspected sock puppet of another user named DaEditorz. User Mako001 informed me that my "...appearance on that page, out of the blue, appeared quite odd, hence why I felt it necessary to alert you to the policies on sockpuppetry." So it seems that just showing up to the Talk page looked suspicious and was enough to warrant a ban? I think this is a mistake, because I do not know who DaEditorz is and this is my first and only Wikipedia account that I've ever had. I made this account half a year ago, and I have a history of editing small grammar and spelling mistakes before leaving a comment on the "Totalitarian" wiki page (I also made two or three edits before I had an account, which I can track down and link if anyone needs more assurance that I have a previous history of editing). I really don't know how else to prove that I'm not a sockpuppet. You can delete the edits I left on that page, remove my ability to edit it, I don't care. I just want my Wikipedia account back. I consider Doug Weller to have made a huge lapse in judgement by banning me. He seems to have done it on the advice of user Foorgood, who wrongly accused me of being a sock puppet on Doug Weller's talk page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Doug_Weller#Totalitarianism_Page. This, as stated, was a false accusation that frankly seems against the rules to make. What could I have done differently? Should my account have been one or two years old before commenting on a Talk page? Should I have had more edits? I'm just utterly confused as to what I even could have done to not get banned on suspicion of sock puppetry. Once again: I am not affiliated with DaEditorz, who was a clearly politically motivated user committing vandalism on the Totalitarian page and likely using sock puppets. I'm just a guy from Washington State who edits spelling mistakes. Dans la médecine (talk) 03:48, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

This was based on technical evidence, not just your editing patterns. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:17, 22 May 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.
@Daniel Case I don't know what to tell you, man. I have no idea who DaEditorz is and this is the only wiki account I've ever used. Is the technical evidence linking specifically my IP/account to his? Could the fact that I use a VPN affect the results? I'm really at a loss here because I swear to God I have no idea what any of you people are talking about. I am not a sock puppeteer and if I were, I would probably just make a new account at this point. Can you give me some details on this super secret private evidence that happens to prove my guilt and that I'm not allowed to see?
No but it might be your VPN, can you give me details? If I end up unblocking I suggest you back out of editing Totalitarianism. Doug Weller talk 09:48, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
@Doug Weller I use a free VPN service called ProtonVPN that assigns a user to one of maybe 40 random servers which then assigns you an IP address from somewhere in the United States (that's about the extent of my technical knowledge). I might have been using it when I created my Wiki account in Northern California, but I'm not sure since that was a while ago. I'm almost positive I was not using it when I edited the Totalitarian wiki page though. I might have edited with a VPN a few months earlier, I don't know. My real IP address should be in Washington State. Also, I don't know if this affects my IP address, but I live in a college dorm room.
And of course, I won't edit anything pertaining to politics on Wikipedia again. If this account gets unblocked, I'm just gonna go back to editing spelling mistakes from now on. Not worth it :)
- Nah, don't do that, just try not to edit war, it is very easy to do and I get tempted at times. We need good editorsAnyway, I was wrong and am unblocking you and if you wish I'll hide your comment about where you are. Many apologies . Don't forget to sign with 4 tildes, eg ~~~~ Doug Weller talk 12:53, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- All I can say is 'thank you'. Sorry for this whole ordeal. I'll avoid using a VPN on Wikipedia from now on. You don't have to hide any comments, and have a good day. Dans la médecine (talk) 13:58, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
