Request reason:

ok, so i was blocked on grounds of suspected sockpuppeting, but I don't know how to prove this is my only account. Not sure how this appeal thing works, but if it helps, all my contributions are on the talk page for John Laurens

Decline reason:

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.

• @Geekyhistorian: I'd suggest that you read the guide to appealing blocks carefully, and update your unblock request with more information. If you're in the wrong, it really helps to be honest and ask forgiveness. If you're not, maybe you can offer the administrators some reasonable explanation for why the logs would indicate a second Wikipedia account was using the same computer that you were using. In addition to addressing their finding of sockpuppetry, try to give them other good reasons to unblock you. I do believe they work hard to be fair. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 04:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

alright we're trying this again ig

Request reason:

alright, so my first attempt was declined on grounds of not stating my relationship with EmyBondevik13 so here we go...I don't know how to prove that this is my only account, I've never collaborated anything with EmyBondevik13. I'm not quite sure how a similar writing style lead to an accusation of suspected sockpuppetry (that's what it said in the response to my report at least). Like I said before, I don't know the other user, and I'm not sockpuppeting, but I'm not sure how to prove that so if there is a way than let me know. Thanks

There is technical evidence connecting your account to EmyBondevik13. So just to be clear, you have no relationship to that user? Sro23 (talk) 04:17, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

absolutely none. not sure where the technical evidence came from, so any background on that would be appreciated Geekyhistorian (talk) 05:05, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

It's a WP:checkuser block. Check user's can see personally indentifiable information that they do not post publicly. No other admin may unblock. Your only hope would be to appeal to the WP:ArbCom. They would look at everything and that takes time. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 09:29, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

i hate to be that person, but may I ask how a checkuser block was administered when I'm not sockpuppeting and this is my only account? Assuming that this is indeed my only account (and it is) why did I get a checkuser block? Geekyhistorian (talk) 05:00, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
