Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for block evasion.

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.
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).

Request reason:

Hi. I choose to edit anonymously. I use the IP address the ISP gives me, which happens to change most days. To the best of my knowledge I am following the rules that allows anonymous editing. I only edit from one IP at a time, I don't pretend to be anyone I am not. I once had an account many years ago but I stopped using it and have been editing anonymously since. I follow the WP:SIMPLE rules and try to explain my changes with meaningful edit summaries. I try to discuss on the article talk page if there is disagreement. While I understand some IP addresses in this range have been blocked to stop certain people from editing I can only tell you that I am not that guy, and my pattern of editing mostly film articles and providing verbose edit summaries will probably show that to any admin that cares to check. I cannot believe any of my recent edits could be perceived as vandalism by a reasonable person, although there has been one editor who -- with no evidence whatsoever -- has assumed that I must be breaking the rules simply because I choose to edit anonymously as an IP user. If there was a specific report I would appreciate if you could direct me to it and give me the chance to comment there and discuss the matter further and defend my case. 109.79.71.204 (talk) 21:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

There are two possibilities here. If you were blocked for an edit on a different IP address, you may not edit under any IP address until that block is removed(even if you as a technical matter can). Or- if you're sure you haven't done anything wrong, then you should create or request an account so your edits are your own and you aren't affected by blocks caused by others. Editing via an account is actually more anonymous than an IP(which can be used to at least generalize your location). Either way, this isn't about "anti-IP" bias. 331dot (talk) 07:55, 10 July 2024 (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.

I see that User:Nyxaros has informally accused me of being a sockpuppet,[1] making direct request to an admin rather than making an official report.
I did not report anyone, I made a comment on a user talk page that I suspected User:Nyxaros had created a sock puppet account User:Soraxyn as the sentiment expressed in the edit summary was similar to sentiments he has expressed before. I hoped that was not that case and I that it would not happen again. I hope that this does not need to escalate. I do not know if User:Soraxyn is a sock. I do not want to report other editors and I prefer not to go through the process unless absolutely necessary. On the matter of MOS:LARGENUM I believe User:Nyxaros has an interpretation of the guideline that is not how most people would interpret it.[2] He seems to take this difference of opinion personally.
I would like editors to be believe that I am actually editing in good faith and I am prepared to discuss this further. -- 109.79.71.204 (talk) 21:44, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whether you report an editor is, of course, up to you and to what level you wish to aid the project. 331dot (talk) 07:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)d[reply]

In response to the block above. I do not know which block I am supposedly being accused of evading. Until Daniel Case issuing a block I was not aware of any block before that and it remains unclear as to the reasons for this block. If have made a mistake and been blocked in absentia that is one thing but I do not believe that is the case. It seems as if I am being blocked because User:Nyxaros thinks that the account User:Soraxyn was created by me,[3] it absolutely was not me and I would greatly appreciate if admins could investigate and prove that point.

From the logs Admin Daniel Case seems to be asserting that I have something to do with the User:Soraxyn which I absolutely do not.

Admins might want also want to look at comments by Mike Allen. User_talk:MikeAllen#Sock?

I'd like to get a bit more clarity on this issue please. If I am then forced to take an involuntary break from editing so be it but I know I am not guilty of any deliberate misbehavior so if I'm guilty of inadvertently breaking rules I'd really like to get a clear answer on that. -- 109.76.138.5 (talk) 16:46, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Admin Daniel Case seems to have interpreted my comments about no longer using any account as somehow being a violation of WP:LOUTSOCK "Editing while logged out in order to mislead" which I don't think I have done, I have not had an account for years! -- 109.76.138.5 (talk) 17:00, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mean to ping you. I only intended to link to your username, I did not think linking alone would ping you, I thought the {{Ping}} or @ needed to be used to ping an account. If my commenting on this page results in a ping that is beyond my control and you may need to adjust your settings or remove this page from your watchlist. -- 109.76.138.5 (talk) 18:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have absolutely no idea if your original block is valid or not. I do know that it's at least extremely bad optics if not directly against policy to be arguing the block on a different IP that you're actively editing with though. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 17:38, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I realise it doesn't look great but I don't control the IP address randomly assigned by the ISP. I have absolutely nothing to do with User:Soraxyn and do not want to be associated with whoever that might be. I would like that much cleared up at least. I don't think admin Daniel Case was correct in his stated reason of WP:LOUTSOCK for issuing a block against me but perhaps other admins agree with his reasoning or it is possible I have inadvertently broken some other rule.
Now that I have seen the block from 331dot I will voluntarily abide by it by not making any edits except on this talk page, until July 25, 2024. -- 109.76.138.5 (talk) 18:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User Nyxaros made further comments on Mike Allen's talk page[4] and apparently there was a block issued in April which he believes was directed against me. I am unware of any such block, or if it was actually directed at me. I would like to see that case so that I can refute it (or learn if I made a mistake). -- 109.76.138.5 (talk) 18:38, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps Nyxaros was referring to the blocks against User:GaA24? I am absolutely not him either (although the ISP does sometimes assign me IP addresses that have been blocked as a result of the block against User:GaA24) which should be readily apparent from my editing patterns. -- 109.76.138.5 (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your continued disregard will not change the fact that it was MikeAllen who pointed to the IP block in April, not me. Maybe I was not clear enough, just stop mentioning me and targeting me. ภץאคгöร 18:53, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
