Hello, I'm Drchriswilliams. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Kirkwall, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Unblock reason
You set up your most recent account well after the previous unblock request. You clearly knew about WP:SOCK at that point. --Yamla (talk) 18:36, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh. I see you lied about it, too, over at User talk:EwanHowe27: "mistakenly accused of sock puppetry". Given that, I see no possible basis for an unblock. You may want to explain why on earth you think you should be unblocked, given this evidence from earlier today. --Yamla (talk) 18:38, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Unblock reason
{unblock|reason= I created my first account on one computer, then on a second computer I created another account as I couldn’t remember my login details for my first one. I was hoping to delete one of my accounts and be unblocked on the other one, and use it as my only one}} EHowe (talk) 21:18, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

You realise your logs are public, right? And convincingly disprove your claims? This account was blocked on 2018-10-03, as can be seen here. You were informed about WP:SOCK here. You were clearly aware of that by this edit. was created on 2018-11-21, as can be seen here. Note that's well after this account was blocked. Here, you falsely claimed "mistakenly accused of sockpuppetry". It's time to either start being honest or admit you lack sufficient competence to edit here. Which path do you wish to take? --Yamla (talk) 21:22, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Block
{unblock|reason= I will admit truthfully to what I did, and apologise for it. I only wish now that I could have a single account to use from now on.}}EHowe (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

You now have two open unblock requests. That's inappropriate. You only need one, please remove the other. Note also that you say you will admit what you did, but you have not yet done so. --Yamla (talk) 21:29, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Unblock
You now have three open unblock requests. As we require competence here, I have revoked your talk page access. Note that the above statement is also deliberately misleading; this user has used five separate accounts, including this one, not the two they claim above. Anyway, the reviewing admin should close all three unblock requests. The reviewing admin is free to reinstate talk page access if they believe it is warranted. Otherwise, this leaves only WP:UTRS. --Yamla (talk) 21:34, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

This user, after losing access to this talk page, placed a fourth unblock request over on User talk:EwanHowe27. This blatant forum shopping shows pretty clearly this user has no intention of following our policies. --Yamla (talk) 22:56, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
