Blocked as a sockpuppet

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Best known for IP per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Best known for IP. 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 for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~TNT (she/they • talk) 01:03, 24 August 2021 (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).

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

Request reason:

I reverted some edits by a user who in the most charitable possible interpretation was severely incompetent. Sample contribution: On 19 August 2021, the Administrator mentioned to rest of Employees only € 16 000 in Cash and the Ferry Construction, in half process done, cancelled from the Nord Frisia Reeder. The user was blocked because of "insufficient competence in English". User:Taking Out The Trash, an account registered not even two weeks ago, took issue with incompetent edits being described as incompetent, falsely claiming that this is a personal attack. This brand new account is a single-purpose account devoted solely to reverting edits and templating people, often using disruptive edit summaries, and is suspected of sockpuppetry. The user makes the ludicrous claim that they are barely familiar with Wikipedia, though they admit that they have "only one" other account. And at the behest of this dishonest sockpuppet who is not here to make substantive contributions to the encyclopaedia, I am blocked. That is ridiculous. No edit I have made to any article has done anything except improve it significantly. Eyout (talk) 08:50, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your block is based on technical evidence of sockpuppetry. HighInBC ^{Need help? Just ask.} 08:55, 24 August 2021 (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.

n.b. Reviewing CheckUser, please see 14:18, 14 August 2021 and compare to edits at 16:29, 13 August 2021. Also note range use. Many thanks ~TNT (she/they • talk) 09:02, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What was the point in breaking all the links and even my signature? Just to be extra obnoxious? Well, here they are again:

I mean seriously. A user account just 11 days old says "I stumbled upon this user account while doing routine anti-vandalism work in the form of patrolling the edit filter log", and you jump to their command? It is very apparent that for most people on Wikipedia, the encyclopaedia is just a vestigial artefact. Seeking to police people is the fun thing that you all enjoy, isn't it? Eyout (talk) 10:29, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If by "jump to their command" you mean investigate your account and find you're

Technically indistinguishable to Wtqf, then you've got me bang to rights guv'nor ~TNT (she/they • talk) 10:36, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So yes, you obeyed the command of an obvious sockpuppet, apparently without even wondering for a moment why an account less than two weeks old would be commanding you, and as a result, you've blocked someone who has made only obviously necessary, obviously high quality edits. I am sure you are very proud of yourself. Eyout (talk) 11:06, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, are you saying Wtqf isn't your account? ~TNT (she/they • talk) 11:13, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely sidestepping the point! Did you wonder for a moment why an account less than two weeks old would be commanding you? Clearly not. If you are concerned about sockpuppetry, it is strange indeed to jump at the command of an obvious sockpuppet, to block someone who has very clearly made beneficial edits. Eyout (talk) 11:20, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah if you'd just answered the question, we'd be chatting about that account (who, yes, is a bit suspicious) right now

~TNT (she/they • talk) 11:55, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You did not ask me any sincere question; you were just muddying the waters by being evasive. If there is some answer you would like from me, ask away. Eyout (talk) 12:51, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Responding to ping: just for the record, this account is not a sock, but rather is a WP:CLEANSTART of an account that has/had substantial experience. That's how a "new" account has this experience. And I didn't "command" anyone to do anything - I asked someone who had more experience than me to look into the situation. That's very different - and if the answer had been "I don't think there's enough evidence to warrant investigation" I would have accepted that without issue.Taking Out The Trash (talk) 16:11, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
