This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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).

Request reason:

SillyPotatoe is a separate user from the other accounts. The other accounts are all of another user based at the same address, hence same IP address. I am that user, and I have forgotten all previous passwords an for user names. This is why I signed in as scout manual and remained signed in for some weeks now, rather than logging out and forgetting again. At the very least please unblock Silly Potatoe. I would appreciate some advice on how to maintain a separate account without this problem as there are two of us at the same premises. Scoutmanual (talk) 18:21, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I'm unconvinced by your explanation. In this context, I'm declining your request to be unblocked. PhilKnight (talk) 10:10, 6 February 2015 (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.

If you are all distinct editors who just happen to share multiple IP addresses and devices, the edit history of this article is certainly difficult to explain. Even if the reviewing admin were to accept the premise that you are distinct accounts, you are still likely to be considered a singly entity due to the technical and behavioural cross over. Per WP:SHARE: "Closely connected users may be considered a single user for Wikipedia's purposes if they edit with the same objectives. When editing the same articles, participating in the same community discussion, or supporting each other in any sort of dispute, closely related accounts should disclose the connection and observe relevant policies such as edit warring as if they were a single account. If they do not wish to disclose the connection, they should avoid editing in the same areas, particularly on controversial topics." --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:33, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|My response to the above has disappeared. How can I get it back?}}

Nothing you have posted here has "disappeared". Apart from posting that statement that your response has "disappeared", you have made only one edit to this page, namely this one, and the text that you posted there is still perfectly visible, in the declined unblock request above. Also, if you intended your latest post to be an unblock request, then you need to miss out the "tlx|". The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:01, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
