Blocked

 * Help - I have tried to appeal this block but without success and am floundering in the dark. What did I do? DickyP (talk) 19:57, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

,, , , I get the feeling that this user got caught in a dragnet, a possibly wide one caused by a prolific socker given the large range (p-blocked for vandalism) they're operating from. I looked at a bunch of Dolyn socks and their contributions, and I don't think DickyP belongs to that group. Drmies (talk) 22:56, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If you think so, an unblock is fine with me. I don't think I ever used CU on this editor.  I only checked for PaullyMatthews socks on March 16.  The block would have been triggered from behavioral evidence, not CU evidence.  I don't remember what it was now, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I was only looking for positive confirmation, and I didn't find any (which is why I didn't decline after checking.) --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107; 23:42, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

OK--DickyP, I will grant your request. It seems that your edits were likely/really too similar to that of a blocked editor/vandal/returning nuisance. My advice to you is simple, and it related to edit summaries. Explain the edits you make in an edit summary, in some detail--vandals are less likely to do that, and it's simply good manners to do so. Second, everyone's language in edit summaries is, to some extent, individual, and it might serve to distinguish your work from that of others. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 01:57, 7 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks but I still appear to be blocked at the moment. DickyP (talk) 16:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Please let us know what message you are getting. This account is not blocked; there is an anon-only rangeblock on a couple of articles, but that should not affect you. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106;&#x1D110;&#x1d107; 16:41, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I admit I haven't tried to edit anything but my User Page still has the 'This account is a suspected sockpuppet of Dolyn (talk · contribs · logs) and has been blocked indefinitely.' message on it, so I assumed that it was. DickyP (talk) 10:46, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
