ArbCom 2019 election voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 on Monday, 2 December 2019. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page.

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.

Request reason:

Greetings, I, as described in a previous UTRS request (for the exemption from IP blocking), edit from schools, coffeeshops, and other locations with great potential from vandalism. I believe you are mistaken when you say that this account may have been used abusively. This is especially pronounced because I have not done anything deserving such a block and although I wish to keep my composure I am utterly baffled and confused as to why you would go ahead with a block without even sending me an email confirming the situation. I assure you, this account has not been compromised. I even sent a message along with the aforementioned UTRS request describing the situation. I also want to clarify that I personally submitted a WP:UAA complaint against Caker19 for attempting to impersonate me, which can be found here: [1]. I am not Nikita either, I have no idea who they are and I do not believe that bans should be meted for a mere alignment in IP addresses, as that would discourage editing from locations like schools, universities, and libraries. I am also concerned how the Checkuser investigation took 19 minutes, completely disregarding everything except for IP address. Finally, I would like to raise a topic of question around Berean Hunter's ability to accurately find socks. This is concerning, and so are a couple others that can be found on Berean Hunter's user page. Again, I confirm I am not a sockpuppet. I'm Caker18! I edit Wikipedia sparingly. (talk) 20:04, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

As below, the investigation took more than 19 mins. There is more to this than a 'mere alignment in ip addresses'. SQL^{Query me!} 21:02, 19 November 2019 (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.

• My first check for this investigation began at 16:01, more than four hours ago
• Whoever said anything about "mere alignment in IP addresses"? Interesting.

Alright, then but I would like to know exactly why this was implemented and more input. I am not affiliated with the other two accounts. Also, the time of opening and the time of closing (timestamps) indicate 19 minutes.I'm Caker18! I edit Wikipedia sparingly. (talk) 21:07, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Request reason:

It would indeed be convenient to know what those reasons were, and what was more than a mere IP alignment. I have edited with this account from a variety, and the IP address I am editing from aligns to a school, so if Checkuser data is what this ban is based on, then editing from a public place is the reason. Or is editing from a school against the rules now? The similarity of usernames indicates a troll more than a sockpuppetry, if it were WP:SOCK then it would be reasonable not to use the Caker## stem, right? This block is entirely unfounded. Also, I cannot access this, so I can't refute it. Please rethink this, these accounts are unrelated and I have been the victim of a troll and an authority mistake. Also, you can see the times I have been at a school or public location and the times I've been at home. These times will be similar and the data will be different. I'm sure whoever the other two parties are will also have such data, where they have been editing from seperate IP addresses, and this is only one IP where we all converge. I'm Caker18! I edit Wikipedia sparingly. (talk) 21:15, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

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.
