Magherbin, you are invited to the Teahouse!

wrong person

Listen, you're conflating Sheikh Abu Baraka with Aw Barkhaadle. Two different Sheikhs who both have a similar history of spreading Islam to the Maldive islands. The sources I provided stated there were two Sheikhs. You're confusing the Morrocon one with the Somali one so please instead just make your own page and feel free to use my sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Datch71s (talk • contribs) 20:00, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Yusuf bin Ahmad al-Kawneyn shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

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).

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

Request reason:

I would like to be unblocked, I wont be abusing accounts this time and I have taken the time to read the policies of the website. The encyclopedia could use editors such as myself to edit the largely neglected articles. Magherbin (talk) 03:45, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Given your extensive history of abuse, you're going to have to do a lot better than that. You also need to make your appeal from your original account, not from one of its many socks. Yunshui ^雲 _水 06:53, 4 October 2019 (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.

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

Request reason:

My sincerest apologies for using multiple accounts, the reason I did was due to the AFD discussions since many of the articles seem poorly sourced. I felt it would arouse stalking and harassment. Creating an article and it being deleted can be frustrating for some editors. I have realized there's ways to deal with Users who conduct themselves like this, after reading WP:FOLLOWING. Magherbin is the oldest account I have created, my other accounts were: Lokiszm7, Kikolio and Betamhara. If unblocked I plan to work on African projects mainly history related subjects. For example I plan to expand on the early history section of the Afar people page. Magherbin (talk) 18:54, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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. Yamla (talk) 13:50, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am applying for the Standard offer. I have not used wikipedia since my block and I promise to not use multiple accounts again since it violates wikipedia policy. I read through WP:SOCK page thoroughly and will not violate it. I would like to update new information for the Afar people's history section as well as Gamo people page by verifying citations and creating a language/culture section. My main goal here is to improve the Wikiproject Africa which seem to have few editors, original research and poorly cited articles. Magherbin (talk) 11:54, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Appealing the block made on my account, it's almost a year since my initial block. I have refrained from editing wikipedia, and understand the rules regarding editing with multiple accounts, is strictly forbidden. Per my above previous appeal, I had felt my intentions to improve the article without stalking from editors would be a good idea but obviously it was not, therefore I feel remorse for my actions and will not repeat them given the seriousness for breach of trust.

(Non-administrator comment) To the reviewing admin, I spoke with this user on the IRC help channel. I just want to note that in the SPI, the accounts this that user mentions above are confirmed to each other, but tagged as unlikely to be related to prior socks, fwiw. I say this as it's a possibility that they are not actually User:Middayexpress. That said, I have not reviewed the behavioral evidence in any detail, so cannot make a judgement call one way or another and I'm not supporting or opposing an unblock, I simply feel that this is worth pointing out for consideration. Thank you, Waggie (talk) 19:30, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I had meant to stop by to say the same thing - this should probably be considered an WP:SO unblock request. I think there are at least three separate masters covered under that same SPI case, and I see no reason to believe that Magherbin is being dishonest in the four accounts they've listed above. ST47 (talk) 21:48, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My intention was to improve the encyclopedia by garnering opinions from the wider community ex; using RFC's, third opinion etc; see [1], [2]. Many of the articles related to the Horn of Africa either have misleading information or sometimes just made up facts hence I felt that I needed to correct them without harassment from editors by opening another account. After a dispute was resolved with an editor, [3] he/she immediately requested checkuser against me and I believe i'm probably the only user that is actively attempting to improve articles in this field hence why the user suspected I was abusing multiple accounts. I have realized that my block was due to abusing multiple accounts therefore I will keep all Wikipedia edits under this account moving forward to avoid any sock incidents, since the incident I caused would have been avoided altogether if I had kept one account. The reviewers must understand that I have no reason to use multiple accounts ever again. I am not here to vandalize any pages on the encyclopedia except to sincerely improve the articles, the contributions I have made so far is proof of that. I will give permission to have my account reviewed by admins regulalry to show my commitment. Magherbin (talk) 01:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:ST47 can you send the above appeal to the proper venue for review? Magherbin (talk) 01:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've copied it here, if anyone asks any questions you can answer them here and either ping the person who asked the question, or ping me to ask that your answer be copied to the unblock discussion. ST47 (talk) 01:49, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have unblocked this account per the above discussion. Please be sure to review WP:SOCK and stick to one account to ensure that this issue doesn't happen again. ST47 (talk) 15:58, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok ill do that. Thank you very much for your help. Magherbin (talk) 08:45, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
