Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Confirmed to Rbka. Additionally, he has been editing logged out and not being civil.

Exactly where was the person to whom you are referring not civil? Aphroditean (talk) 20:12, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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).

Aphroditean (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This account has not been and never will be used abusively. I have absolutely no idea why you have accused me of this. Please identify which edits I have made that you consider to be harmful and tell me why.Aphroditean (talk) 19:39, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. 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
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 19:42, 22 December 2017 (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.

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Aphroditean (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

It did address the reason for the block, obviously, insofar as that reason is claimed to be that this account is being or has been used abusively. It has not and it will not. All of the edits I've made improved articles. I don't believe any were disputed by anyone. So, what is the reason to accuse me of behaving abusively? As I have not ever behaved abusively, nor ever would, this block is inexplicable. I have absolutely no idea why you have accused me of such a serious thing, and as the accusation is obviously spurious, you should lift this block that has been placed for no sensible reason.Aphroditean (talk) 19:46, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=It did address the reason for the block, obviously, insofar as that reason is claimed to be that this account is being or has been used abusively. It has not and it will not. All of the edits I've made improved articles. I don't believe any were disputed by anyone. So, what is the reason to accuse me of behaving abusively?

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=It did address the reason for the block, obviously, insofar as that reason is claimed to be that this account is being or has been used abusively. It has not and it will not.

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

Abuse of checkuser rights

Requesting the attention of the arbitration committee: User:Casliber, User:Callanecc, User:DGG, User:Doug Weller, User:Drmies, User:Euryalus, User:GorillaWarfare, User:Keilana, User:Kirill Lokshin, User:Ks0stm, User:Mkdw, User:Newyorkbrad, User:Opabinia regalis.

From the CheckUser Policy:

The tool is to be used to fight vandalism, to check for sockpuppet abuse, and to limit disruption of the project. It must be used only to prevent damage to any of the Wikimedia projects.

I have never vandalised anything, nor disrupted the project, nor do I even comprehend what sockpuppet abuse is and how I might be accused of it.

The tool should not be used for political control; to apply pressure on editors; or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to check a user.

There was no valid reason, seeing as I've only made good edits which improved articles, and which no-one disputed. Aphroditean (talk) 19:57, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
