User talk:NebulaOblongata

Thank you for visiting my page.

July 2022

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 13:55, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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).

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

Request reason:

There was an active thread at ANI initiated by a proven sock, who was blocked indefinitely by ArbCom for sockpuppetry. Nobody there seemed to have suggested an indefinite block. The edits discussed were mostly around concerns relating to BLP.

Ever since I have started editing articles that relate to Islam, I have had baseless aspersions directed at me repeatedly. There have been attempts to penalize me for challenging the status quo. The same actors (with whom I have had content disputes) participated in the ANI thread. As a Muslim academician, it is quite disheartening how toxic and unwelcoming this place is to minority voices.

Regardless, I am open to remedy my actions on Wikipedia and work collaboratively. I have been using talk pages to discuss content disputes.

Furthermore, I do recognise that I have at times exhibited poor judgment that may have been construed as disruptive and belligerent. I shall be more careful with the choice of my words and actions going forward, and ensure I am here to build an encyclopedia with collaborative efforts. During my ban, I have thoroughly read the concerned Wikipedia policies relating to my block and agree to refrain from any behavior that can be perceived to be in violation of the policies. I humbly request admins, to reconsider the block and give me a second chance to contribute to Wikipedia in a much better way. I have learned my lesson and I can see that uncollaborative efforts won't get me too far. It's also worth noting that I haven't been blocked before. Thank you!

Decline reason:

Closing as stale only, you are welcome to make a fresh request. 331dot (talk) 07:11, 18 September 2022 (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.

My unblock request doesn't seem to be getting any attention - what can I do?

I wonder if anyone is watching this page. @Bbb23, how can I get someone to review my appeal? NebulaOblongata (talk) 18:38, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have to be patient.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:48, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. NebulaOblongata (talk) 18:51, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock requests or on a list some Admins work on. Doug Weller talk 19:15, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And I doubt anyone will unblock. Doug Weller talk 15:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why? I dont't agree with your assessment. I am here to contribute. NebulaOblongata (talk) 15:53, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you chunk that down. How did your edits merit a block? What would you differently? How would your constructively contribute? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I am tired of being falsely accused of sockpuppetry. No idea how the admins let Snuish get away with repeated false allegations. I just want my name cleared of sockpuppetry. I am no longer interested in contributing to any article on Wikipedia. It's a shame how I have been accused of sockpuppetry by users and admins without any proof. Snuish keeps doing it and even called me an employee of MNA, Doug Weller has done it in the past, and now it's Newslinger. NebulaOblongata (talk) 13:07, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You seem like a non-involved admin. Can you please review the sockpuppetry allegation and the "investigation" carried out? I am ready to provide any personal information required to clear my name here.

How did your edits merit a block?

My use of sarcasm and edits on controversial article WikiIslam that has attracted sockpuppets in the past. My tone and language came across as aggressive. Also, I was not very good at responding to messages on my Talk page.

What would you differently?

Refrain from making any snide remarks and comments and respect the 3R rule.

How would your constructively contribute?

I will be readily accountable to the community, answering questions on my talk page and participating in discussions about my actions in other locations, as it is required. If an editor is concerned about my conduct, I would encourage them to message me on my talk page. After a discussion, if there is still a major disagreement about my conduct, I would encourage them to open a thread on WP:ANI, or wherever would be most appropriate for the concern (and if I think my action/conduct needs a wider community discussion, I would open it myself). I would refrain from acting in the affected area while the thread was ongoing. If the community endorsed an ArbCom case, I would actively participate in the case and answer any questions.

Due to the recent block evasion documented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NebulaOblongata, this unblock request should be declined. — Newslinger talk 06:07, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me. None of those IP addresses are me. Snuish has a long history of accusing me of being a sockpuppet. What's the proof? NebulaOblongata (talk) 12:50, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The evidence is now archived at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NebulaOblongata/Archive. — Newslinger talk 23:04, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have read it and nowhere does it point to me. Look at user:Bbb23's comment. This is all a mistake. I am ready to provide whatever proofs admins need to clear my name. NebulaOblongata (talk) 10:41, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Block circumvention

This user is circumventing his block with at least two IP addresses on the WikiIslam article that have focused on changing the same content in the same way as NebulaOblongata. Snuish (talk) 21:04, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Holy shit! What? This is ridiculous. None of those IP addresses are me. What sort of investigation was done here? Has it ever occurred to you that multiple individuals across the world can have an issue with the use of "Islamophobic" as a descriptor for WikiIslam. When I raised this on the talk page, you accused me of being a sockpuppet of someone. Now someone else comes and raises the same issue, I am accused of being the sockmaster. Get a life.

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NebulaOblongata, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. — Newslinger talk 01:00, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/NebulaOblongata/Archive

@Newslinger, Bbb23, and GeneralNotability: I read through this investigation and I don't see any statement that shows I operate those IP addresses. Do you want to have another look? I have not used any IP address outside of this account. I would really like to understand what's happening here. How can I defend myself against this false accusation. This is absurd. Snuish keeps accusing me of being a sockpuppet, an employee of MNA every time a new user or IP address edits WikiIslam. I have had baseless aspersions directed at me repeatedly without any proof submitted. Will this ever end? Can Snuish keep throwing allegations like these and just hope one of them sticks. I have looked at the previous IP addresses he has accused me of using as sockpuppets. The ones earlier were based in the United States. These new ones I see are located in Bihar, India. None of these are even within 1000 km of my actual location. I am accused of battleground mentality but what's this? I can't escape false accusations even when indefinitely blocked. User:Snuish2 is hounding me.

This has been an extremely frustrating experience. I understand that users may have issues with my edits but false accusations is something I will keep fighting against.

Message to admins

I would have to be the dumbest person on this planet to use IP addresses for sockpuppetry on WikiIslam when I am appealing for an unblock. Just because a few users in the past and currently have raised an objection to the descriptor "Islamophobia" (like I have), it doesn't imply they are my socks. FFS, please review CheckUser again. Is there a neutral admin who can look into this? I have read Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NebulaOblongata/Archive and nowhere does it say those IPs are my socks. NebulaOblongata (talk) 12:58, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It does say that those IPs are your socks. There was no check run because CheckUsers will not connect IPs to named accounts for privacy reasons.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:10, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do it. I give you full permission because they aren't my socks. I don't care about my privacy. If similar edits is all it takes to call them my socks, then Wikipedia's policy is broken. NebulaOblongata (talk) 19:41, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add that it's pretty unfortunate how I have faced the brunt of your knee-jerk indefinite blocking and false claims of sockpuppetry. I hope at some point an uninvolved admin reviews both my block and the false sockpuppetry accusations at me. What makes all of this worse is that I cannot do anything to seek redressal because of my block. NebulaOblongata (talk) 12:19, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
