Request reason:
I'm not a sockpuppet. I simply requested an account so I could contribute to Wikipedia without having my IP publicly available. While browsing the Nintendo task force page, I saw some AfD discussions so I decided to join in. I have never used any other accounts, I think I have never contributed from an IP address, and I am not attempting to break any rules. The similar edit summaries are coincidental. Also, after reviewing the contributions of my account and the accounts are allegedly related to mine, I don't see any overlap at all between my account and the sock's accounts.

Decline reason:
Per below, this should not be taken as final since I'm not a checkuser, but really the behavioral evidence is to me enough. — Daniel Case (talk) 18:52, 25 July 2021 (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.
- To the reviewing checkusers - this account was on the edge of what I would normally consider
Confirmed, but given the behavioural similarities etc.. happy to be told I'm wrong in this case, and its fairly late here so don't wait on my account if you believe an unblock is due (though please ping me)

Question
[edit]Why was my user page and sandbox deleted, but not those of the sockpuppet's accounts? LifelongLynx (talk) 01:37, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:
The Investigation was opened up prematurely and, IMO, was malformed. I'm gonna compare myself to the LTA for Kingshowman. * Makes defamatory statements at articles relating to Donald Trump and creates attack pages about supposed controversies. I have never touched an article relating to Trump or politics. Every article (WikiProject pages aren't articles) I edited was related to video games or Scratch * Adds false information to articles about controversial issues. Again, I have never touched an article related to something controversial (unless Comix Zone somehow is). The only time I ever added something that could be considered false info, was when I told someone to use WP:AN for requesting page protection, which I later corrected * Makes small edits at various articles, typically making grammatical changes or adding unsourced associations with conservatism. Yet again, I have never touched an article related to politics. * Typically uses grandiose usernames or IP addresses geolocating to Brooklyn. My IP address geolocates to Wisconsin (different sources say different cities), but I never edited from an IP anyways. If you consider my username to be grandiose, it's simply taken from my autogenerated Xbox Live gamertag (with part of it (863) removed). * Creates user and user talk pages very shortly after creating an account, often with false sockpuppet tags, content copied from the userspace of impersonated users, or false claims of being a legitimate alternative account. I never created my user talk page, and I don't know when I deleted my user page, because it's deleted and no longer shows up in logs. I do remember never putting sockpuppet tags, never (intentionally, apologies if my userpage accidentally resembled someone else's) copied content from other userpages, and I never claimed of being an alternate account * Makes small grammatical edits to various articles. My contributions page doesn't show anything related to grammar edits. * Creates attack pages and adds BLP violations targeting Donald Trump. I never created any drafts or mainspace articles, and none of the pages I did create were related to Trump nor were they attack pages. * Impersonates usernames of other editors and vandalises articles and deletion discussions recently edited by them. Never have I ever vandalized an article, deletion discussion, nor have I ever impersonated someone * Typically makes multiple small edits in a row to appear constructive. I never did that. * Makes vague or grandiose statements at talk pages or WP:DRV and WP:AFD debates, respectively. I didn't even know what DRV was until I checked the page while I was writing this appeal. Also, before I had an account, I browsed some pages relating to policy, including polices relating to AfD, so I knew how AfD worked, and I decided to join in on 2 AfDs. * Edit summaries typically make grandiose statements; accuse other editors of lying, vandalism, edit warring, hoaxing or racism; or claim to make grammatical or factual corrections. None of my edit summaries do. * Frequently uses variants of the word friend. I don't recall ever using the word "friend" on Wikipedia, though that may be wrong. Now for a few other things. * I have been constructive on another, unrelated wiki], although I assume you guys don't check activity that doesn't relate to Wikimedia * The similar edit summary is purely coincidental. Using that as evidence that I'm a sockpuppet account just doesn't make sense. * I have only edited 2 AfDs, and those were simply voicing my opinion, while following the rules. In contrast to the other accounts, some of which edited similar AfDs, and one of which eats AfDs for breakfast. A few accounts also notified one another about AfDs, while I simply found them on the Nintendo task force page. * The similar edit summaries are pure coincedence. * Again, of the 2 main other accounts in the SPI, one of them basically only edits AfDs, in contrast to my account, which only edited 2. * I would like my edits restored, my user page and sandbox undeleted, my account unblocked, and the global lock requests retracted.

Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
- the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
- the block is no longer necessary because you
- understand what you have been blocked for,
- will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
- will make useful contributions instead.
Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 12:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

- The Investigation was opened up prematurely and, IMO, was malformed no the investigation was not malformed as can be seen on the SPI and you don't address the evidence presented in the SPI. Lavalizard101 (talk) 18:48, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
