Revision as of 13:08, 28 February 2021

Archives (Index)

This page is archived by ClueBot III.

This user is in college.

This user is taking a wikibreak and may be away or inactive for varying periods of time.
Although they may occasionally be able to do some editing, messages left for them may not be replied to for a while.
They will be back on Misplaced Pages on In July 2021.

Unblock request

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

Request reason:

Hi, I'll like an uninvolved administrator or checkuser to review this request. My SPI case appeared as if a gunshot to the head: open and shut seemingly instantly. No timeline for the investigation and I was not even given a chance to respond. I was blocked for using these 3 sock-puppet accounts which I'm going to explain one by one.

1. ALM Aadeez

This account belongs to me, I created it back in April 2020. I had already revealed about that account in my userboxes. So, I should not be blocked for using an account about which I had already told publicly. Morever, I also redirected that account to my original account and soon abandoned that account. I've never used that account to get an illusion of support or to engage in edit wars or anything else.

2. Zindaaab

An account about which I didn't reveal that I'm using it, I admit my mistake. I created this account in January 2021 just to upload a photo of my fav. singer Atif Aslam that I received from one of my Facebook friends to see whether it is deleted or not, because all my recent uploads to Wikimedia Commons were deleted one by one as I was weakest in the "file" namespace. I didn't use that account to harass any user, perform vandalism or something else. I made just 3 edits using that account on Wikimedia Commons all related to that photo and made no edit with that account on Misplaced Pages. If that account was a factor in my block then I should be blocked on Wikimedia Commons only, not everywhere i.e. my block should be limited to Commons only for using this account.

3. Gorilla Warfs

The account that isn't used by me at all. This account made this edit on GorillaWarfare's talk page. The account looks similar to me, technically and behaviourally.

Technically due to the same IP address, I guess. I already said that I used the Wi-Fi connection provided in my hostel which isn't used only by me but by all my hostel mates.
Behaviourally due to the slight gap in the edits time. I edited Enrique Tarrio at 19:44 on 12 February 2021. The account was created at 19:52 and made this edit at 19:54 on 12 February 2021.

Not only I use that Wi-Fi but everyone in the hostel do. So, that account might have a same IP address but that doesn't mean that they are me or I'm that. Anyone in the hostel may have that account. According to WP:ROOMMATE, "If two or more registered editors use the same computer or network connection, their accounts may be linked by a CheckUser. Editors in this position are advised to declare such connections on their user pages to avoid accusations of sockpuppetry. There are userboxes available for this; see

This user may sometimes share an IP address with ].

." I admit that I should have used the userbox {{User shared IP address}} but I didn't know that who may share this connection. So, I didn't use it. Behaviourally, the account doesn't look like me (if you see) due to potential of dissimilarity in the writing styles (i.e. emoticons, capitalization and edit summary) of both the accounts, that was not even looked into. I'll not perform such an act after being here for 11 months when I've a such a reputable and good account. If I were to do this then I'd have done this in the past when I was a newbie. If I had done this in the past at least for a single time then there would be definitely such a record in my contributions (you can check) but you'd find nothing like this. So, there arise no question of doing it now. An editor said: that's why it was done with a sockpuppet. But if I can create a sockpuppet now then I'd have also created other sock puppets in the past months for such purposes. Where are that? The reality is that you'd find no sock-puppet. I have not done such acts neither now nor then. Why I'll dig so hard on something so hard that is really really stupid? The user had provided a link to their Twitter account and also their Email address. If I were really to do this then I'd do it on Twitter where I'd have no worry of being blocked where everything would be private, not on Misplaced Pages where there were solid chances of a block and everything is visible publicly. Morever, I could also use another network to hide the similarity of IPs of both the accounts but I was such a fool that I didn't care about the IPs and considered Misplaced Pages best for such purposes, neither Twitter nor Email. :-D.

I was in such a big hurry to finish this all within the ten minutes. You may think that as soon as I came to knew about her, I created the puppet and commented. I'll explain this too. She made this edit on 7 February 2021. I was watching that page (if you are doubtful, then see the article's history, I'm one of the top contributors of it). I also noticed that edit but not created a sock on that day (7 February 2021) to comment on her appearance (when I had not edited their heavily-edited article) whereas after a week, while editing a random page at 19:44, I did this. If I can post this message after editing their article on 12 February, then I could also do that on 7 February when I saw her firstly. I could also make that edit on that article another day or after a day or two so to keep me away from any SPI case. I was such a big fool that I made an edit on an article and within 10 minutes I did this all, not even waited. I could easily wait to make that edit on one day and create sock-puppet next week because I already have waited for a week (from 7–12 February). What could I expect after doing this on Misplaced Pages? A block and the loss of trust. One may also feel strange that someone from the same hostel can not do this especially at the same time. But I feel nothing that's hard to believe here. What is the impossibility here? I already knew her a week before this incident. A random Wi-Fi user from the hostel just created an account for this message because I wasn't going to be such a big stupid in a great haste that even don't cares about the time gaps or IPs. Someone also said me to wait for 6 months and apologize. I can wait for 6 months and can apologize for using Zindaaab account secretly and not revealing about that but can't admit or apologize for something that I've not done. I'd be guilty only if I have done this. I'll only apologize if I've performed this edit. Morever, if I've done this then I'd not make any unblock request. Btw, check my level of stupidity by the point of view of some editors.

Noticed GW on 7 February and waited for 5 days till 12 February. (Why did I wait?)
Edited her most-edited article first before doing this non-sense. (Why do I need to edit the article first if I were to do this?)
Not used another connection to avoid the similarity in IP addresses.
Not cared about the slight time gap and finished everything within 10 minutes. (Why I was in such a big hurry when I had already waited for a week?)
Not found Twitter useful for such discussions where everything would be private and no risk of blocked.
Preferred Misplaced Pages over Twitter where everything is publicly visible.
Not even cared about the consequences of this edit that were to get a block and the loss of community trust.

Meanwhile, a user considered me to be a COI. I've never edited for pay but edits due to my interest. If you see my created articles and top edited pages then you'd note the variation in the types of the articles. Most are music-related, some are sports-related. Others include articles related to tv shows, YouTube, comics, lists, media, channels, albums and songs. That's is just to clarify you that I am not a COI because a COI mostly edits articles that are related to their specific subject.

Thought that I've sufficiently explained everything to you and also I'm hoping that is good for us. It's quite easy for me to create a new account and start editing now but I want to be abide by the rules of Misplaced Pages plus don't want to lose this (unique) account where I've nearly 16.5K+ edits, 45+ articles, 60+ categories and 70+ templates. I'm also a CVUA graduate from PG2 and TC21. I also had planned many things to do in future (i.e. participate in AfDs, NPR, RCP, and AIV etc) that would be possible only if I'm unblocked. I can clarify all of your doubts if you have left anything else to ask. Thank you for reading the request. Hoping for the good. — Empire AS 17:53, 26 February 2021 (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.

I admit that I should have used the userbox <span class="nowrap">{{</span>]<span class="nowrap">}}</span> but I didn't know that who may share this connection. So, I didn't use it. Behaviourally, the account doesn't look like me (if you see) due to potential of dissimilarity in the writing styles (i.e. emoticons, capitalization and edit summary) of both the accounts, that was not even looked into. I'll not perform such an act after being here for 11 months when I've a such a reputable and good account. If I were to do this then I'd have done this in the past when I was a newbie. If I had done this in the past at least for a single time then there would be definitely such a record in my contributions (you can check) but you'd find nothing like this. So, there arise no question of doing it now. An editor said: that's why it was done with a sockpuppet. But if I can create a sockpuppet now then I'd have also created other sock puppets in the past months for such purposes. Where are that? The reality is that you'd find no sock-puppet. I have not done such acts neither now nor then. Why I'll dig so hard on something so hard that is really really stupid? The user had provided a link to their Twitter account and also their Email address. If I were really to do this then I'd do it on Twitter where I'd have no worry of being blocked where everything would be private, not on Misplaced Pages where there were solid chances of a block and everything is visible publicly. Morever, I could also use another network to hide the similarity of IPs of both the accounts but I was such a fool that I didn't care about the IPs and considered Misplaced Pages best for such purposes, neither Twitter nor Email. :-D. A user said that I edited a random page, found the top contributor of it and created a sock puppet to comment on her. What a great supposition! I was in such a big hurry to finish this all within the ten minutes. You may think that as soon as I came to knew about her, I created the puppet and commented. I'll explain this too. She made ] on 7 February 2021. I was watching that page (if you are doubtful, then see the article's history, I'm one of the top contributors of it). I also noticed that edit but not created a sock on that day (7 February 2021) to comment on her appearance (when I had ''not'' edited their heavily-edited article) whereas after a week, while editing a random page at 19:44, I did this. If I can post this message after editing their article on 12 February, then I could also do that on 7 February when I saw her firstly. I could also make that edit on that article another day or after a day or two so to keep me away from any SPI case. I was such a big fool that I made an edit on an article and within 10 minutes I did this all, not even waited. I could easily wait to make that edit on one day and create sock-puppet next week because I already have waited for a week (from 7–12 February). What could I expect after doing this on Misplaced Pages? A block and the loss of trust. One may also feel strange that someone from the same hostel can not do this especially at the same time. But I feel nothing that's hard to believe here. What is the impossibility here? I already knew her a week before this incident. A random Wi-Fi user from the hostel just created an account for this message because I wasn't going to be such a big stupid in a great haste that even don't cares about the time gaps or IPs. Someone also said me to wait for 6 months and apologize. I can wait for 6 months and can apologize for using Zindaaab account secretly and not revealing about that but can't admit or apologize for something that I've not done. I'd be guilty only if I have done this. I'll only apologize if I've performed this edit. Morever, if I've done this then I'd not make any unblock request. Btw, check my level of stupidity by the point of view of some editors.
# Noticed GW on 7 February and waited for 5 days till 12 February. (Why did I wait?)

Meanwhile, a user considered me to be a COI. I've never edited for pay but edits due to my interest. If you see  and  then you'd note the variation in the types of the articles. Most are music-related, some are sports-related. Others include articles related to tv shows, YouTube, comics, lists, media, channels, albums and songs. That's is just to clarify you that I am not a COI because a COI mostly edits articles that are related to their specific subject. 
Thought that I've sufficiently explained everything to you and also I'm hoping that is good for us. It's quite easy for me to create a new account and start editing now but I want to be abide by the rules of Misplaced Pages plus don't want to lose this (unique) account where I've nearly 16.5K+ edits, 45+ articles, 60+ categories and 70+ templates.

{{unblock reviewed |1=Hi, I'll like an uninvolved administrator or checkuser to review this request. My ] appeared as if a gunshot to the head: open and shut seemingly instantly. No timeline for the investigation and I was not even given a chance to respond. I was blocked for using these 3 sock-puppet accounts which I'm going to explain one by one.
1. '''<span class="plainlinks"></span>'''
:This account belongs to me, I created it back in April 2020. I had already revealed about that account . So, I should not be blocked for using an account about which I had already told publicly. Morever, I also redirected that account to my original account and soon abandoned that account. I've never used that account to get an illusion of support or to engage in edit wars or anything else.
2. '''<span class="plainlinks"></span>'''
:An account about which I didn't reveal that I'm using it, I admit my mistake. I created this account in January 2021 just to upload a photo of my fav. singer Atif Aslam that I received from one of my Facebook friends to see whether it is deleted or not, because all my recent uploads to Wikimedia Commons were deleted one by one as I was weakest in the "file" namespace. I didn't use that account to harass any user, perform vandalism or something else. I made just  using that account on Wikimedia Commons all related to that photo and made no edit with that account on Misplaced Pages. If that account was a factor in my block then I should be blocked on Wikimedia Commons only, not everywhere i.e. my block should be limited to Commons only for using this account.
3. '''<span class="plainlinks"></span>'''
:The account that isn't used by me at all. This account made  on GorillaWarfare's talk page. The account looks similar to me, technically and behaviourally.
* Technically due to the same IP address, I guess. I already said that I used the Wi-Fi connection provided in my hostel which isn't used only by me but by all my hostel mates.
* Behaviourally due to the slight gap in the edits time. I  at 19:44 on 12 February 2021. The account was created at 19:52 and  at 19:54 on 12 February 2021.
Not only I use that Wi-Fi but everyone in the hostel do. So, that account might have a same IP address but that doesn't mean that they are me or I'm that. Anyone in the hostel may have that account.

Administrator note Two uninvolved CheckUsers looked at the technical data and determined it to be sockpuppetry. I also tracked the behavioural evidence and concluded that two of the accounts were used for bad-faith editing. Let's also remember that you lied about Zindaaab repeatedly until finally admitting to it, aaaand you also committed blatant copyright violations as both Zindaaab and as Empire AS, by uploading non-free images and declaring them as your own. So, just on that alone, that's the use of multiple accounts to engage in disruptive editing, a clear violation of WP:SOCK. Linking the GorillaWarfs account isn't even required to justify a block, but based on the additional explanation a CU gave me, the technical evidence is compelling that you are also linked to that account. Why you're lying about it, is likely because you realised that it would be perceived as sexual harassment in a climate that no longer tolerates that shit. ~~I'll let another administrator~~ a CheckUser will handle the unblock request, but your chances of being unblocked are nil. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:27, 26 February 2021 (UTC) An administrator won't reverse a CU block. Edited to reflect this. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:37, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

2 CUs? Only the blocking CU, TonyBallioni was present here that isn't an uninvolved CU but an involved. Which 2 accounts I used for bad-faith editing? ALM Aadeez or Zindaaab? I don't see any bad-faith editing performed from them. I didn't use them for vandalism or illusion of support. I agreed about Zindaaab the next day of lying but not continuously kept lying. Although the photo didn't belong to me but that was not already present on internet so I uploaded that because the older photo in article was not too good. I agree that was copyright violations on Commons but not on Misplaced Pages. Morever, I used Zindaaab just on Commons so block should be limited to Commons only iff I'm blocked for using Zindaaab. I'm not lying about anything but speaking the truth that's hard to believe for ~~you~~ some users. But if you consider my request neutrally, you may see a higher chances of being unblocked. I'm still not sure that how can I assure you that I'm not connected to Gorilla Warfs. If you have further questions, let me know but please don't ask anyone to review this request or to revoke my talk page access. Btw I don't know whether you have noticed this edit or not. Thanks!

This isn't a court of law, and nobody is required to convince you to your satisfaction that you broke the rules. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:49, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Administrator note After the discussion above, Empire AS has subsequently modified their unblock request, and is now attempting to argue that they should only be blocked at Commons for deliberately uploading copyrighted content and lying about the copyright status. I guess we're in the bargaining phase of the five stages of grief. From my initial decline: Here at 11:54, 20 January 2021 you upload an image, File:Atif Aslam while smiling.jpg, which you later add to the Atif Aslam article. So, they lied about the copyright status and then made the image public at the English Misplaced Pages. Empire used ALM Aadeez to squirrely remove a speedy delete template. Empire claims it was an account he used for "security purposes" yet that was the only "contribution" this account made that day. The account was abandoned shortly thereafter. Then there's the strong CU evidence. The end. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 13:32, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh, another note. I edited my own unblock request and tried to explain everything in it. I've not edited any other user's comments but my own. You said: ... and is now attempting to argue that they should only be blocked at Commons for deliberately uploading copyrighted content and lying about the copyright status. I already explained that iff I'm blocked for using the account 'Zindaaab' then my block should be limited to Wikimedia Commons only, not on Misplaced Pages as I've not performed any edit from that account here on Misplaced Pages. I'm not arguing or bargaining to block me only on Commons. I already had accepted that the photo didn't belong to me. You said: I guess we're in the bargaining phase of the five stages of grief. Which says: "Although commonly referenced in popular culture, studies have not empirically demonstrated the existence of these stages, and the model is considered to be outdated, inaccurate and unhelpful in explaining the grieving process." Morever, the tag placed on Tajdar-e-Haram was {{db-person}}, an inaccurate tag that can't be used on articles related to 'singles'. As I've to use a public computer at that time so I removed that wrong tag using ALM Aadeez (about which I had revealed the truth in my userboxes), not my real account to avoid security problems. You are asking again and again those questions that I already had answered and explained comprehensively above. Any other unasked question? Now, the real eend. Empire AS 17:16, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

I didn't ask you a single thing. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:33, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake, assuming that it was my talk page, I replied you. It won't happen again. I'll reply you iff you ask. Empire AS 17:37, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Just noticed that I'm blocked only on Misplaced Pages, not elsewhere. I'm still able to edit Wikimedia Commons, Mediawiki, Wikidata and other sister projects. I'm blocked on Misplaced Pages which I use the most. Thanks! Empire AS 09:06, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb, Can I reply to the message below? Thanks. Empire AS 12:50, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Draft

@Empire AS: You were a good contributor on Misplaced Pages before sockpuppetry evidence came in. I trusted you, and you said you would help me with this draft all along. Cheers, -Cupper52 10:16, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
