Revision as of 02:17, 15 September 2014 by 1999sportsfan(talk | contribs)(also say that blocked users or banned users cannot edit under any IP or username.)
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 template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:SockBlock}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.
If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you!
Usage
Place this template on the user talk page (not the user page) of the editor.
This template should be used to notify blocked sock puppets and sockmasters blocked for sock puppetry.
{{subst:SockBlock| master =| suspected =| blocked =| notalk =| color =| masterblock =| period =| evidence =| sig =}}
Parameters
master – if the name of the blocked sock puppet's sockmaster account is known, use |master=accountname to specify that.
suspected=yes – if the account was blocked as a suspected sock puppet, use |suspected=yes. Note that if the masterblock parameter (see below) is set to yes, this parameter can't be used.
blocked=yes – if the blocked sock puppet's sockmaster account currently was blocked or banned at the time the sock puppet account was blocked, use |blocked=yes. Please note that if the masterblock parameter (see below) is set to yes, this parameter should not be used.
notalk=yes – if the blocked sock puppet's talk page access was also removed, use |notalk=yes.
color – if you don't want the default background colors, you can use |color=hexadecimal color code / color name.
masterblock=yes – if the message is about the sockmaster being blocked for sock puppetry, use |masterblock=yes.
period – if the masterblock parameter is set to "yes", |period=period can be used to specify the block length of the sockmaster account. By default it says "blocked temporarily".
evidence – if the masterblock parameter is set to "yes", |evidence=evidence can be added. Add a link (with brackets) to the evidence proving the sockmaster has operated multiple accounts.
sig=yes – if you want to sign the template, use |sig=yes.
