Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Vishwanatha Badikana per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vishwanatha Badikana. 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 read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom received convincing evidence that the editors listed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vishwanatha Badikana/Archive are not the same person. We are downgrading the blocks for each to a block for disruptive meatpuppetry, including edit warring, article hijacking, and what appears to be some promotional editing; as well as failing to understand how notability functions here (see WP:42 for a very brief overview). Any administrator may process an unblock request accordingly, taking into account the specifics of each users' participation prior to the SPI.

Preethika B, please review the guide to appealing the blocks and then either use the {{unblock}} template or use the unblock ticket request system to request an unblock (with a preference to the former). You will need to appeal individually from any other user in the group listed in the SPI case above. Izno (talk) 20:05, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am writing to request an unblock for my account, which has been blocked due to suspicion of sock puppetry or other disruptive behavior. I would like to state unequivocally that I am not a sock puppet and have not engaged in any disruptive behavior on Wikipedia. I understand that sock puppetry and other disruptive behaviors are serious violations of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I fully respect and support the efforts of Wikipedia's administrators to maintain the integrity of the site. However, I would like to stress that I have not engaged in any such behavior, including but not limited to meatpuppetry, edit warring, article hijacking, or promotional editing. I would like to apologize for any mistakes I may have made, and I want to assure you that they were unintentional. I am new to Wikipedia and I am eager to learn more about the site and its policies. In order to improve my knowledge and contribute in a better way, I am willing to participate in regular meetups, workshops, and online tutorials. As a result, I humbly ask that my account be enabled so that I can keep adding to this important resource. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Preethika B (talk) 01:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I want to clarify that I am not a sockpuppet of Vishwanatha Badikana Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vishwanatha Badikana, nor have I undergone any meat puppet or disruptive edits on Wikipedia. I understand the importance of following Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I apologize for any mistakes I may have made in the past, which were unintentional. I have taken the time to educate myself on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines to ensure that I can contribute positively to the platform. I am eager to continue contributing to Wikipedia and believe that I can do so in a constructive manner. I would appreciate it if you could reconsider the block on my account and unblock me, so that I can resume my contributions to this valuable resource. Thank you for taking the time to read my request - Preethika B (talk) 17:59, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You aren't a sock puppet so much as a meat puppet, but both are treated the same. Your general statement is an okay start but you will need to specifically discuss the issues with your edits and tell us what will be different going forward. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 19:31, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
