Again... Hi, Wikipedians!
Please post whatever below.
Living in the Eastside moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Living in the Eastside, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Reliable sources and "original research"
edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in your recent edit to Nikolai Obukhov, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. I understand that it is frustrating when it is obvious to you that what you say is true -- but Wikipedia's policy on verifiability is there to ensure that others can determine this came from a reliable source. Thanks, Antandrus (talk) 14:24, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

You might want to fix this
editHey. You might want to amend this reply. Despite what Kiwi Farms may ardently wish others to believe, Keffals is a woman and uses she/her pronouns. Sideswipe9th (talk) 04:08, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
I have pinged u on that page to say the same thing Stephanie921 (talk) 04:13, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oh no! I'm so sorry! I support Keffals' hard work (and don't support the farms). I fixed it. It happens to the best of us, I guess, but again, sorry! Dennis Dartman (talk) 04:16, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- It's okay, and ty for correcting it. I don't understand what you mean by "it happens to the best of us I guess" and would appreciate if u elaborated on that though Stephanie921 (talk) 04:21, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- I just wasn't careful, and I'm fully conscious of my mistake. Keffals is not a "man" with a deadname no matter how much the KiwiFarmers and other transphobes would like to say. And no, transphobes, this isn't the win you think it is! Dennis Dartman (talk) 04:45, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing it Dennis. Sideswipe9th (talk) 04:22, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

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.Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.
Unblock request
edit
Dennis Dartman (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
@GeneralNotability: Not really sure why I have received a notification that I'm now blocked? And what does "GHBH" even mean? This is actually my only account and I have no idea who User:Hank Benson or User:Flora Wilshire are, who are referenced in the block message. I only make constructive edits about topics that I am personally interested in, for free, and would never even think of disrupting Wikipedia. (P.S. I edit on the Wi-Fi of a large public university if that factors into anything. Should I look into using a VPN instead?) Dennis Dartman (talk) 23:20, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Technical evidence indicates quite clearly that you have indeed engaged in sockpuppetry. Accordingly, I am declining this request. Just to be clear: As long as you are blocked, you may not edit Wikipedia with any account or IP, VPN or not. --Blablubbs (talk) 11:39, 20 November 2022 (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.
Not that I'm responding, for truly assessing the correctness of this block requires access to checkuser, but GHBH means: "[u]sing one account for constructive contributions and the other one for vandalism or other types of disruptive editing." Daniel Case (talk) 07:33, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- I would add(with the same caveat) that using a VPN to make edits is generally not permitted. 331dot (talk) 08:16, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Dennis Dartman (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Just to be clear, I have 0 alternate accounts and am planning to create none, and I would be very interested in knowing the specifics of the "quite clear technical evidence" in question preventing an unblock. Again, I edit at a university, so if any of my fellow classmates are also Wikipedia editors in their spare time, I promise I'm not aware of it. Dennis Dartman (talk) 13:48, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Decline reason:
In the light of what has been said below, I have to decline your request. JBW (talk) 18:21, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

EDIT: Bruh, I just checked one of the user's profiles and they aren't even from the U.S... Dennis Dartman (talk) 13:51, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Dennis, assuming that you mean another account has a user page stating that they aren't from the U.S., whereas you are, that means absolutely nothing whatever, because claiming that accounts are based in countries other than where they really are is one of the very commonest tricks used by sockpuppeteers. Also, while I don't have access to the checkuser information, I am sure that those who do are able to make informed decisions about that.
- @Blablubbs and GeneralNotability: How certain is the CU evidence? Is it plausible that Dennis Dartman's explanation of editing from a university where others may edit too may be correct? Judging by editing history, without access to CU information, the other two accounts look to me like ducks, but Dennis doesn't look obviously connected. (
CheckUser is not magic pixie dust) JBW (talk) 17:52, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- @331dot: The technical connection between these accounts is substantially deeper than could be plausibly explained by them simply sharing an institutional network. --Blablubbs (talk) 18:06, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- Gah, I mixed up 331dot and JBW – apologies for the unnecessary ping. --Blablubbs (talk) 18:18, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- JBW, very solid CU evidence, much better than "same range," which is what clinched this for me; there are technical indicators that solidly connect this account to one of the other two beyond coincidental overlap on the same IP(s). GeneralNotability (talk) 18:07, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- @331dot: The technical connection between these accounts is substantially deeper than could be plausibly explained by them simply sharing an institutional network. --Blablubbs (talk) 18:06, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- GeneralNotability, Blablubbs OK, thanks for that clarification, both of you. JBW (talk) 18:19, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
