Request for unblock
QuietOwl/Archives/2018 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I am not a sockpuppet of Dsmatthews. I share the same internet connection with multiple other people. I sometimes edit Dsmatthews's poor spelling, and I do it without his consent or permission, as I don't require it if my edits are improving Wikipedia. I may look over his shoulder, virtually speaking, but I don't consider that stalking or harassment, and he has never complained. I am my own person, and do as I wish, but I am sorry if my actions inadvertently disrupted his ability to edit. If you were tracking cookies, you would see we are not the same person.
Decline reason:
Checkuser is based on more than just IP. At least two checkusers have now agreed that you have been abusing multiple accounts. SQLQuery me! 03:32, 16 January 2018 (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.
- I've run a checkuser, and the account is
Technically indistinguishable from Dsmatthews. PhilKnight (talk) 01:08, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- User:PhilKnight, my account and Dsmatthews's may be technically indistinguishable to you if your investigation was superficial, but that is because of what I have already stated above: I share the same internet connection with multiple other people. I am a separate person. I'm not a man. That other account is. Please do not discriminate against me any further, I am my own person, and edit what I think is appropriate. In this case, technically indistinguishable is a measure of the system's inability to distinguish the truth, and not the actual truth of the matter, therefore the onus is on you to please provide me with a method acceptable to you/Wikipedia of verifying my independent identity.

- Actually, I'm afraid that a checkuser is much more in depth that you can imagine. And it goes deeper than a shared internet connection. We are nor discriminating. Editing here, being a member of the community is a privilege. It is not a right. There is no "onus". Please reread the guide to appealing blocks. You are straying perilously close to legalese. The mumbo jumbo does not help you even a little bit. Thanks, -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- User:Dlohcierekim, what evidence do you have, if it isn't the IP address? I have read the pages on Checkusers, all I can see is that you can query the servers "in order to ascertain the IP addresses used by a Wikipedia user account, as well as other technical data stored by the server about a user account or IP address." What is this other technical data?

You are discriminating, because you are assuming that I am another person, and you have not given me any way of proving that I am not that person, that I am a completely different person. I never said editing Wikipedia was a right. I was implying that if you block someone because you think they have been abusing multiple accounts, you should also give them an opportunity to prove that they are innocent, at least if it is a first-time offence.
I repeat my question, what is the acceptable way of proving that I am a separate person, and that I have not been abusing multiple accounts? QuietOwl (talk) 04:21, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
