You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Listen to Your Heart (Roxette song). ResPM (T&#x1F508;&#x1F3B5;C) 23:57, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts&#32;as a sockpuppet of &#32;per the evidence presented at Sockpuppet investigations/DorothyCrittenden. 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 for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * I reject this indefinite ban because there is absolutely no proof that I am a "sockpuppet", whatever that means. I think you simply get off sexually on punishing and oppressing less experienced editors! DorisClearwater (talk) 01:01, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I wasn't 100% sure at first - there were a lot of similarities between your editing styles and interests for me to be confident enough to block, but this was one of those cases where I had a niggling doubt that I might have blocked a good faith user. However, since you have used the exact same form of words to respond to this block as you did to the last one, including improperly pasting it into the block template. That removes any doubt from my mind, so thank you for that. If you wish to contribute to this project, take time to actually read the guide to appealing blocks, and post a proper unblock request that acknowledges why you were blocked, and is likely to convince someone that you will not repeat those actions. (Hint: passing remarks about other editors' motivations, particularly where those remarks are of a sexual nature, will not convince anyone that you are capable of contributing constructively in a collaborative environment.)
