November 2020
Note for future reference: Although I'm currently blocked I still manage to get alerts whereby I'm reading aspersions about me 'gaslighting' my behavior. Okay then, suit yourself. Also wow, the fact that I'm still being accused of being a 'sock' (for like the 3rd time now) despite being blocked just shows how rent-free I live in some people's heads. I'm not surprised with the user filing the report either. So much for sanctions against editors should not be punitive and no punish I suppose. Telsho (talk) 19:23, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Note
Hi AmandaNP, I was not blocked for being a sock but for being aggressive on the ANI and hastily using speedy deletion tags on some articles. Is it possible that you meant to include Jengosen495, which was blocked as one but wasn't included in the list? You're more than welcome to check my IP or other verifications with the master and other suspected users to confirm it. Another CU had done the same in the past. I'm mentioning this because misidentifying me as one might potentially jeopardize things such as If I ever decide to make another unblock appeal in the future or contributions that I have made previously on this website. Thanks. Telsho (talk) 20:08, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Semi-protection
Hi @El C:, is it possible to do this for my talk page? I've been getting IPs being disruptive here (look at the revision history). What's going on? Telsho (talk) 10:41, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- Seems like El C hasn't been active for about a week. @C.Fred: could you help me out? Telsho (talk) 00:22, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- At one incident a day, I'm not sure semi-protection is needed. —C.Fred (talk) 00:34, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Hopefully they get off my back. Telsho (talk) 10:59, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
Notwithstanding what's going on above, I'd like to say I've taken the time to reflect over the past week or two about my previous actions. I acknowledge that my actions on the ANI along with the speedy deletion tags constitutes as battleground behavior, hounding and harassment. Definitely not what Wikipedia is all about. @Horse Eye's Back:, I hope that we have no hard feelings against each other and that we could bury the hatchet with no future grudges. Anyway, it seems you were recently targeted by a user which led you to accuse me of being a sock again. Honestly I get that, we did not end on good terms and it may seem like I was doing this to you. It's not me, I've been checked multiple times before and I have a static IP anyway. Whatever is going on with that SPI is definitely interesting for sure, and it seems like I've gotten into the crossfire yet again. That's fine. Getting on topic, If I do get unblocked, one could count on me not getting involved in any edit wars again, and at the most I would revert only once before getting into the talk page and start a discussion. I just want to create interesting and informative articles once more and add on to them, and this time I should probably stay off highly controversial topics (especially political) for obvious reasons. I don't wish to get into lengthy battles with anyone else anymore as it's honestly a waste of time for both sides nor is it beneficial. Lastly, I'll definitely be more compliant in regards to the policies and guidelines of this website moving forward, and I shall have no excuses. Telsho (talk) 11:13, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Procedural decline; archived without being reviewed. Yamla (talk) 13:20, 16 November 2020 (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.
Just FYI what you did went way beyond "my actions on the ANI along with the speedy deletion tags.” You’re gonna have to start with honesty if you want to participate again. My interest in whether or not you’re a sock is academic not personal. Speaking of academic discussions any idea who the IP hopper you have pissed off is? They seem to think you’re Alexkyoung.

- It's been a while, HEB. It's not that I'm being dishonest, it's just that I genuinely don't remember every occasion as we were at odds on multiple different articles and also reverting each other edits. Anyway whatever happened between us in general, I hope we let bygones be bygones. I'm also aware of my previous behavior against other users and I acknowledge that as well.
- Now to address that weird IP hopper, I'm honestly not sure why they are targeting me. I'm not Alexkyoung, a simple CU check will put that to rest. It's also interesting that this only happened after my block, it's kinda creepy I would say because it seems like they were stalking me the entire time. My theory is that these IPs are of another sockpuppet who probably had a feud with an account on the SPI and so are now masking behind different IPs just to engage in some sort of a disruptive scorched earth policy to get their revenge. I actually feel whatever these IPs are doing is much more sophisticated than the SPI for INTSF, though I'm not really up to date of the entire situation and it seems extremely confusing because there's so many other users being accused as well. All I know is that they are being a huge nuisance on my talk page and they always seem to return with a different IP. Blocks won't even matter to them. Telsho (talk) 01:25, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
