Request reason:
am writing to you today to appeal an allegation that has been made against me, claiming that I am operating multiple accounts (commonly known as a "sockpuppet") on Wikipedia. I vehemently deny this accusation, as I have maintained a single, legitimate account on Wikipedia, and I take my commitment to the principles of Wikipedia seriously.My contributions have consistently adhered to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I have sought to make meaningful and constructive edits to articles within my areas of interest and expertise. Infact, I always edit on wikipedia using VPN. I believe that the sockpuppetry accusation has been made in error. I am committed to the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability in my editing activities on Wikipedia.I have always been and will continue to be dedicated to Wikipedia's mission of providing free, reliable, and accessible information to the world. I have always maintained a single account, James.Shaw2717, and I consider Wikipedia a valuable platform for knowledge dissemination.James.Shaw2717 (talk) 10:13, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Confirmed sockpuppetry. This is not just based on matching IP addresses, this is a clear technical match. Additionally, I'll note that the use of proxies/vpns are not permitted here unless you have WP:IPBE. Yamla (talk) 10:34, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
well I am relatively new to Wikipedia , I was not aware about the I.P. address and VPN thing. I don't know any of the accounts that I have been linked to , I saw some videos on youtube and as a technology geek , I thought to edit some reputed pages on wikipedia. Moreover , I don't know any of the other accounts that have been mentioned in the investigation.Well I don't think so any technical matches would be there.I learned from the below youtube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w03OMnNpc4s&pp=ygUWd2lraXBlZGlhIHBhZ2UgZWRpdGluZw%3D%3D This video taught me about the basics of editing on wikipedia. I didn't go through wikipedia policies. I agree to the fact that i was not aware about I.P. address policy about VPN. I won't ever use VPN while accessing wikipedia. I request you to forgive me this time for using VPN. Please unblock my account and i would also like to clarify that this is my only, sole and legitimate account.
