Blocked

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of NichePenguinLifestyle (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · logs · block log · arb · rfc · lta · SPI · cuwiki) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is 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 sockpuppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

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:

Created a new account because I couldn’t access my old one—I may never have verified it via email. I was very transparent that this was a new account on my user page. You can absolutely delete NichePenguinLifestyle, but this is the account that I’m using to make real edits.Tron-F-Kennedy (talk) 01:05, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

No response to the concerns around WP:UPE. Yamla (talk) 00:01, 5 February 2021 (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.

@NinjaRobotPirate: any objection if I lift this block, so long as they promise to stick to this single account going forward? --Yamla (talk) 21:44, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla: there's some seriously fishy stuff going on at Randy Pitchford. There are repeated attempts to puff up the page, most likely from paid sock farms. See User talk:Ferret/Archive 13#Randy Pitchford and User talk:MER-C#UPE activity, I believe (Special:Permalink/1004034006#UPE activity, I believe). If, after reading that and looking through the article history, you think that this person is completely unrelated to what's been going on there, I guess it would be OK to unblock. But any more disruption to Randy Pitchford's article would probably result in a swift re-block from Drmies, Ferret, or another admin. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:36, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tron-F-Kennedy:, any comments about the above? --Yamla (talk) 22:57, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla: Apologies—just getting to this now. Like I said, I needed a new account because I couldn't access my old one. I was clear about that on my editor page and I haven't used NichePenguinLifestyle since then (because I couldn't access it). I have only ever had one functional account at a time. I'm happy to stay away from Randy Pitchford's article if that's the cause of all of this, but I'd like to be able to just make the occasional edit to pages that have errors/seem to be missing something like I was doing before this ban.Tron-F-Kennedy (talk) 23:59, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
