Aldaz321, you are invited to the Teahouse!
You sent me an email, but there's nothing confidential there. Unfortunately, the technical information that ties you to the sockmaster account is confidential (and I don't have access to it anyway). WP:CHECKUSER gives a bit more detail. --Yamla (talk) 12:42, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Note that off-wiki evidence, which of course I won't share here (unless you tell me to) so as to avoid WP:OUTING, shows that you are part of a marketing team. It's therefore likely that the other accounts were created by others in your marketing team. That also points to violations of WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 12:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Hey Yamla & Bbb23,
I emailed you to make sure I was able to get a hold of you because I'm not sure how the notification system works. So only the WP:CHECKUSER has this technical information and there is no way that I can prove I'm not related to these other accounts?

As for the off-wiki evidence, you're already "outing me". I don't mind, however multiple accounts being created from other colleagues doesn't seem possible due to a language barrier. I can be more detailed via a private email/message if needed. You can be as open as you'd feel necessary, however you can see that I am a real person and if you review my edits they are objective.

In terms of the violation, I can only see a WP:COI. I am not getting paid directly to do this job, however I can see how these 3 items can be an issue. In the section of WP:PAID it states that, "employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which they receive, or expect to receive, compensation". I have yet to make any major changes other than updating incorrect information on another company using dated information that conflicts with my current employer. Being new to Wikipedia I would still have to agree and would be happy to make any of the necessary change listed on that section:

a statement on your user page, a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions."

To your last point, I have done no promoting or advertising whatsoever. I write content often and have read Wikipedia's guidelines on creating a page. From my understanding, even after being written, it will still need to be reviewed by a WP:CHECKUSER. So, please let me know some follow-up activity.

Thanks again


 * There's nothing more I can do for you. You have an open unblock request and another admin will be along shortly to review it. --Yamla (talk) 11:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow-up Yamla (talk), but I really wish you were a little more detailed on who you think I am. However, I am starting to understand that a level of anonymity is appreciated on this site. Anyhow, I will use the recommended channel from the admin's response. Thanks again Aldaz321 (talk) 05:15, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Help
help me

Please help me with... proving I am not a sockpuppet (would outing myself help)? Also, I realized that I can request articles on business people/companies. Can someone help me with this, as I can't make any edits whatsoever.

Thanks

 * I have spoken with Aldaz321 on the unblock IRC channel, and to me it seems plausible that they are not part of a "team" that markets multiple companies. They have a conflict of interest regarding their contributions here but seem willing to deal with it via WP:RA, which would be the recommended practice. Part of what I found and what they said would run afoul of WP:OUTING if published here; I can provide some details via email if desired. Huon (talk) 08:34, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey thank you for your earnest response. It has been difficult, but I've learned that it's just best to follow the rules and I don't want to make the same mistakes again. Apologies for the late response, as I typically only follow up on this once a month. I have sent a new email to the arbitration committee today and will await their response. If you or someone at the committee can confirm my email has been received, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again Aldaz321 (talk) 07:00, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I have consulted, a member of the arbitration committee, and she says that she can't see any sign of a message from you after your first appeal was rejected, so probably something went wrong with sending your email. You may like to try again.
 * You must be finding this quite frustrating, taking so long to get responses to your appeals, and I am impressed by how patiently you seem to be dealing with it. Most people would either have given up long ago, or else got angry about it.
 * You both have had access to information that is not visible to me, and you have come to different conclusions about whether this editor is part of a marketing team. Is there any point in suggesting you discuss the matter with a view to trying to settle that question? I can think of several reasons why you might not wish to, including the fact that you may not wish to return to a matter that you moved on from a fairly long time ago (in Yamla's case over a year ago) and that you don't remember anything about, but I just thought I would raise the question in case you might be willing to consider it. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:59, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * In a message above, where I said that something seemed to have gone wrong with your email to the arbitration committee, I said that you might like to try again. Have you done that? If you haven't then I suggest you do so now. If you have already done that, and still not received any response from the committee, let me know, and I will follow it up. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:59, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Hey again I resent a new email immediately after responding to your message on July 18th. The email was sent to both arbcom-en@wikimedia.org and arbcom-l@lists.wikimedia.org with the subject "Appeals of blocks or bans directly related to Arbitration Committee decision Fwd: [arbcom-l] UnBlock Request Jun 1, 2018". Thanks again and let me know if there's anything I can fix or do. I will check my notifications more frequently. Best Aldaz321 (talk)

July 2019-- in Limbo
Hey, Catholicism may have eliminated Limbo, (or so I heard) but we still have it here. Any way forward? 13 months! Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:52, 3 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Today I have received an email from you about this, in which you very politely and patiently asked if I could try to get any progress on this (frankly, much more patiently than I would have done under the circumstances). It is possible that there is some persistent problem preventing your emails from reaching the arbitration committee (but evidently not preventing you from emailing me) otherwise I find it difficult to understand how there can still have been no response by now. However, whatever the cause of the problem, the 13 months mentioned by have now become close to 15 months, and we really need to bring your waiting to an end.
 * I have now emailed the arbitration committee myself, asking them if they can at last settle the matter one way or another. I hope that they can do so, but if you have heard nothing back from them after a while (perhaps a month) then please ping me again. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:54, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I have received a reply from a member of the arbitration committee, telling me that they have received a number of emails from you including two "recent ones" (whatever that means) but that they have a large backlog and haven't had time to deal with it yet. I'm afraid it looks as though you will have to wait a long time, and there is no indication how long that is likely to be. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:31, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey I appreciate all the help. I guess there's not much else to do but to wait at this point. I'll just keep checking in monthly, and try to follow the rules to avoid any other negative repercussions. Hopefully this matter will be resolved by 2020. Thanks again Aldaz321 (talk) 08:47, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
