 * Note Matthew King (composer) is promotional in tone, content, and intent, complete with cherry-picked "praise quotes", as are all the related articles on his works. Your additions under your various guises are not merely "accurate career descriptions". Frankly, I also doubt very much that you are simply a "former student and colleague" of his. Your choice of account names are strongly connected to King's personal life. His father's full name was James Frederick Lowry King. Both he and Matthew King worked at the school Leila Rendel started. You were able to (a) obtain and (b) claim to hold the copyright to this image of King, and you posted this obscure information which as far as I can see is published nowhere online. Not to mention this opinionated edit about the village next to the one where King lives. In the coming weeks I plan to clean up and rewrite this article to conform to the standards of an encyclopedia article, rather than a personal promotion page. If you are ever unblocked, you must commit to refrain from directly editing the article (and the associated ones on his works) and instead request edits on the article talk pages for unconnected editors to evaluate and implement, if warranted.

 * Also, do you have any relation to the accounts and  who have also engaged in promotional editing of this composer and his works? Voceditenore (talk) 09:20, 25 September 2018 (UTC)


 * This all goes back to at least 2011. Which is your original account~ which account do you intend to use?-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 11:47, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Dlohcierekim, of the three confirmed socks Conlon Nancarrow is the oldest, created in June 2011. Leila Rendel was created in January 2014. James Frederick Lowry was created in June 2017. All three were actively editing right up to the day before they were blocked. After the block, all three edited their talk pages on the same day requesting an unblock, , . I strongly suspect that the previous accounts  (created March 2010) and  (created March 2009) are also his, but both accounts are stale. The promotion of Matthew King and his works (several of dubious notability) began in 2009, e.g.  and .

 * Note also this is a CheckUser block. Voceditenore (talk) 14:07, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I think if he wants unblock he should request on original account. I think he needs to come forth about all other accounts. And yes, this is a CU block, so I will not b unblocking. Just seeking more information.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 15:52, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The bit about "immediately cease to employ the accounts Conlon Nancarrow and James Frederick Lowry and Leila Rendel" raised the question in my mind so yes, we need more info and no, I ain't the one to unblock.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 15:55, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Admirable investigation. It's a fair cop. I've learnt my lesson. It's more clumsy and naive than it appears: I have set up several accounts and tend to forget passwords. The accounts you identify - and  - are old ones that I had forgotten about.  All info on the page is, in point of fact, accurate with regard to commissioning, performance details, awards, reviews etc. The phrase "of dubious notability" is, with respect, harsh. How many works of Schubert or Janacek or Mompou or Webern or Ruth Crawford Seeger or Percy Grainger or Lord Berners etc. were widely known or written about during their lives? And in the current culture most new music gets relatively little attention. At least the works you mention exist in the public domain and have been commissioned and performed in the locations, and by the performers, specified. I accept that I have been an idiot, and the different accounts are invalidated. However your suggestion of an original account would be helpful, if only "to request edits on the article talk pages for unconnected editors to evaluate and implement, if warranted".
 * I did not propose you using an "original account" if you are ever unblocked. Dlohcierekim did. I'm not sure what he meant by that, whether he was referring to using your earliest account name or to choosing a completely new account name. There are problems with several of your current account names. Both "Conlon Nancarrow" and "Leila Rendel" are prominent real people. It is strongly recommended not to use the names of real people. Your earliest account, "Ripabollockov", is borderline offensive which is also discouraged. And for the record, I do not consider these shenanigans as resulting from "naivety" or "forgotten passwords". The three currently blocked accounts were editing in tandem and in my view were a deliberate attempt to make it look as if multiple different people were editing articles about King and his works instead of one single-purpose account and thus avoid scrutiny. Ditto the earlier activities of and  editing in tandem, e.g., . Voceditenore (talk) 13:40, 26 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Generally, with socks, we consider the first account used the master and the rest puppets. Generally, we direct the user to discus unblocking via that account. However, given all the problems you point out with all these unacceptable usernames, I cannot see any of them unblocked. But to return to the original question, the user should usually discuss unblocking on their original account-- the first one used. This user can discuss the unacceptability of their usernames there or here. Along with all the other problems. It might be best afterall to continue discussion here since so much has been discussed here already.
 * Oh, and I see we have skirted this question--"what other usernames have you edited under and with what users have you coordinated edits off wiki?-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 15:55, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Dlohcierekim, while "Conlon Nancarrow" has admitted above that he also operated and, it's possible that by now he has forgotten the password to the oldest account, . "Ripabollockov's" last edit was on 3 June 2011 . "Conlon Nancarrow" created his account three weeks later on 26 June 2011  but did not begin editing until September of that year. It's probably best to keep the discussion here. Voceditenore (talk) 16:40, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
