Unblock request (2024)
Based on CU data, there's no evidence of recent block evasion that I can see. --Yamla (talk) 09:34, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I was blocked (23 October 2022) BlockList/Gabriel601.-- Gabriel  (talk to me )  14:47, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Greeting @SilkTork, am actually confused right now as I don't know what else to do regarding the response @Yamla gave me that my block evasion can't be found. I was blocked by @Dreamy Jazz years ago.  Gabriel  (talk to me )  13:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yamla's only confirming that they found no evidence of block evasion over the last eight months. Checking that is a typical step in evaluating an unblock request for a sockpuppeting sanction. Many people who say they made no edits during their block are discovered to have actually edited while logged out or using another account. That Yamla did not find evidence of recent block evasion is a point in your favor. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 14:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you @CoffeeCrumbs. I really do appreciate your explanation.  Gabriel  (talk to me )  08:49, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not an administrator, just an uninvolved editor with a longstanding interest in the gnome-y governance/administrative side of Wikipedia. But I'm really rooting for you to be unblocked here; it appears you took the WP:STANDARD to heart and I like seeing editors get second chances. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 18:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you @CoffeeCrumbs.  Gabriel  (talk to me )  15:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

It is good that you have acknowledged that you created sockpuppet accounts. And it is good that you have refrained from creating new sock puppets, and that you commit to not creating any more in future. This goes in your favour. One thing that you would need to clear up is any concerns that people may have about you editing for payment without telling us. We do allow people to edit for payment - but they must declare that they are being paid. See Paid-contribution disclosure. SilkTork (talk) 03:42, 31 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you @SilkTork. I really do appreciate your response. Regarding being paid to create articles. I have never in my life had the thought of taking money from people to create articles neither writing about someone closer to me but I have a little story to share about the draft article Draft:Filmymantra Media. It's a Bollywood media company of which the founder was my friend so he approached me one day and told me he would like me to create a wikipedia page for his company which falls under the wikipedia guidelines of Conflict of interest. I never took money to write because it's not a thing I do for a living to earn but a thing I do as fun writing and to improve myself on knowledge. I also never had in mind of coming back to the draft article Draft:Filmymantra Media as it goes against wikipedia guidelines. I pledge to be honest now and forever that is why I have to talk about it.  Gabriel  (talk to me )  09:23, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to unblock. User:Dreamy Jazz, do you have any objections, or anything to add? SilkTork (talk) 13:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Nothing from me. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. SilkTork (talk) 14:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you @SilkTork for the acceptance and I promise your action towards my unblock request won't be a regrettable one. I know this could be a little bit of task but I had some draft article over the years i left them due to my block and they were over six months so they got deleted as per deletion of old drafts. Draft:Iyanna Mayweather, Genesis (restaurant), Draft:Speed Darlington, Draft:Ulugbekhon Maksumov, Draft:SportyBet, Draft:Ozuoba. It won't be easy, rewriting. Although if I was to rewrite I would rather give up on them because it's not easy to come up with grammars that has been written before except I never started them.  Gabriel  (talk to me )  16:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * For requests to restore drafts that were deleted because they were stale, see Requests for undeletion/G13. If a draft was deleted because of other concerns, such as paid editing, best raise the issue with the admin who deleted it. SilkTork (talk) 11:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Reporting suspicious User
Hello respected @SilkTork I hope you're well. My name is Parwiz from Panjshir, Afghanistan, and I'm a Wikipedia user. All my activities are focused on my country, Afghanistan. Recently, someone named @Gabriel606 has been opposing my activities without any reason. I don't know what his goal is, but when I visited his talk page, I saw that he had previously been accused of taking money in exchange for publishing articles. It seems that he is involved in activities that are not aligned with Wikipedia's policies, and a team of experienced users is supporting him. I hope they can be identified and blocked.

He is unfairly nominating my articles for deletion, which discourages me from continuing to work on Wikipedia. Parwiz ahmadi (talk) 15:53, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * In June 2023, @Bbb23 asked you a question of your previous account. But you decided not to reply. In January 2023, @Melcous warned you against vadalism but it doesn't seem like you have changed. In June 2024, @thetechie also warned you against WP:CANVASS but you never saw that right. Before I nominated your article for AFD. A lot of your article has been nominated and was deleted because you never submitted them for review. There is no article of yours you have ever submitted and they got accepted. You said "a team of experienced users is supporting him. I hope they can be identified and blocked". You seem to be funny lol. I hope you learn your lessons someday, because all this editors that has ever reached out to you are just trying to help you. But you want them all blocked so you can have the world all to yourself. lol and cheers.  Gabriel  (talk to me )  16:42, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * If there is something going on that I can help with, let me know; but please - both of you - don't come to my talkpage to moan about other users without any other purpose than to insult that user.
 * Parwiz ahmadi, I am giving you an informal caution regarding making accusations against other users without evidence: see Casting aspersions and No personal attacks. If you are concerned that Din Mohammad Jurat is going to be deleted, then your best approach is to look into the concerns about the article, and find reliable sources.
 * Gabriel601, I am also giving you an informal caution regarding Casting aspersions, and suggest that you strike the personal comments in your AfD nomination: Articles for deletion/Din Mohammad Jurat - these sentences are unnecessary and are personal attacks: "Also the creator of the article seems to be a newbie which I guess hasn't practiced about the wikipedia article wizard before contributing to wikipedia." and "Maybe he had to fake it to make it look like its an independent reliable source". Remember: Comment on content, not on the contributor. SilkTork (talk) 08:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

G6
You cannot WP:G6 an article because there was an AfD a decade ago that resulted in a delete consensus. That's not what that criterion is for. WP:G4 is closer, but the article needs to be pretty much the same, and none of the ones you've tagged meet that criterion (as when the AfD's took place, they hadn't been signed, whereas now, they had all played on various teams).

Stop Personal attacks and Disruptive to my contributions
Hello @Gabriel601, I will advise and pled you stop the Disruptive edits to my contributions, I have never came to your articles to tag them or said anything bad, stop the personal attacks and I’m only defending myself, You are seriously after me and it’s very bad, let me be, I’ve done nothing wrong, you have been blocked on Wikipedia because of your activities, look for others to put your eyes on and leave good editors who are just defending themselves and articles, I’ve seen all the comments you gave me I let it slide, please don’t force me to report you, I’ve reverted your edits. Be careful. Madeforall1 (talk) 11:17, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Personal attacks to my contributions and false accusations
@Gabriel601

This will be my final response to the accusations of sockpuppetry and paid editing. These allegations are both unfounded and distressing.

Accusing editors of collecting money for editing or engaging in sockpuppetry without evidence is not only unacceptable but also damaging to the collaborative spirit of Wikipedia. Imagine if similar baseless accusations were made against you—it would be equally unjust and disheartening.

I urge you to refrain from making these deceitful claims. Your actions are making Wikipedia an unwelcoming environment for editors. Please remember that you are not an administrator, and such serious accusations should be substantiated with concrete evidence and addressed through the proper channels. Afrowriter (talk) 14:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It disgust me when you mention of concrete evidence. Of course they are concrete evidence and I am ready to forward that to any administrator who requested via my email. You can deceive others but not me. They are some certain things you can deny and they are some certain things you cannot deny rather than to apologise if you really wanna be a help to the community. Coming to my talk page to say things like this I hope when you are finally caught. You will also have to apologise to me just like you have been apologising to everyone here User_talk:MarkIblog Nnadigoodluck and Versace1608. I would have also love to involve @Dreamy Jazz, incase you need me to forward all concrete evidence against you to their email but I don't know how busy his gonna be as his very good in looking into cases like this. I saw what you wrote here User_talk:Liz but it still doesn't changes the fact that you Afrowriter and your master sock account AfrowriterX are both welcomed 4th July 2019 and 7th July 2019 here User_talk:Afrowriter and here User_talk:MarkIblog. There is nothing like that blocked account trying to impersonate you because they already had the name. You stopped editing wikipedia after creating both account because your master sock account unblock request was never accepted. But nothing changes the fact and truth that you were both welcomed closed to same date. Ip might not be traced due to the long run you left wikipedia but nothing changes the fact that you are connected to that master sock account. Lastly, I am not personal attacking you with a bad faith. But asking for concrete evidence will just made you proof to the community that I was clearly doing this with a good faith and not a bad person because I have all concrete evidence and I have never disruptive any of your edit because there is no point fighting with you while making useful contributions. But being a sock I don't think it makes any sense why you can still appeal on your master sock account. Read my reason regarding to my unblock account " I left wikipedia for over 6 months ". If I had created other account and not being traced by the IP connected to my blocked account what encouragement will I be passing to other upcoming editors.  Gabriel  (……?)  16:20, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gabriel601, have you made a WP:SPI report? If not, then file one.
 * Please refrain from saying things like It disgust me when you mention of concrete evidence and You can deceive others but not me. Furthermore, once you have filed a report please comment about this only at the relevant report. It does not help the administrator who is reviewing the report if the evidence is on multiple different pages and it also will not speed up the review of said report if you comment about this elsewhere.
 * I would suggest that you follow the advice at, including Do not make personal comments about users, edit war, or argue which does apply more widely than WP:SPI. I also agree with the advice from below.
 * , while I fully understand being accused of being a sockpuppet is stressful I would also encourage you to avoid language like cook up your lies. The administrators will do a proper review before taking any action. If you want to comment on any report filed at WP:SPI, you are welcome to do so.
 * A general reminder that incivility is disruptive, and if it becomes too disruptive further action may be taken. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 19:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Tone of expression
Hi @Gabriel601,

I saw your replies on Liz's talk page but decided to bring it here at least to avoid flooding Liz's TP. First, calm down, take a breath, and relax. While I believe you understand Wikipedia well, there's no need to explain how it works, and wants to remind you that it is a volunteer project. Yes, we maybe from same country— Nigeria, and though we don't know each other, we're both trying our best here. You might not know that I'm a Catholic seminarian almost done with my philosophy studies and heading into theology. One of the best practices on Wikipedia is to avoid personal attacks. When another editor asks you to stop, you should stop. As Afrowriter mentioned, there's no need to tell others they are sick; there’s a process for that, and it's called the WP:SPI, which you have already filed a report.

Sometimes, editors may quickly escalate issues to WP:ANI, which you know isn't going to be fine. I understand you might be frustrated, as I do sometimes, especially when our volunteer work is criticized. It's important to focus on the positive aspects like the barnstars, praises, and thanks you receive. If I were harsh, you could have ended up at ANI for calling against my user rights as a reviewer. To me and many other editors, you're an established editor with significant contributions, and it's evident that Afrowriter finds your actions frustrating. Even if dealing with SPAs, frustration should not be your priority.

Remember, the wrongs we commit are forgiven by God, and we should extend that grace to our fellow humans. My advice will be: calm down, participate in AFDs, and continue contributing as you do. Admins will address the report you filed at WP:SPI. Cheers! Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 19:12, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello, Gabriel601,
 * You should listen to Safari Scribe. You should remember that you were just unblocked from an indefinite block on June 1st and right now, you seem to be going out of your way to make enemies of other editors, making unfounded accusations (you still haven't filed an SPI report), saying insulting things. I guess you are frustrated by something but that is no excuse to attack other editors and make personal remarks EVEN IF an editor turns out to be a sockpuppet. It reflects badly on you and frankly right now you seem a bit out-of-control. If this continues, at some point, you will be brought to ANI and you have to ask yourself, "Who will speak up for me?" Have you made allies and colleagues during your time on Wikipedia or just enemies? This is an encyclopedia but editors are people and no one wants to be attacked and belittled.
 * As SafariScribe states, use the processes that exist if you have concerns about another editor, do not go around and say rude things about them. You need to present evidence, not just suspicions, or this will turn out very badly for you. I have seen fantastic editors, editors who have been here for many, many years, get blocked because they couldn't let go of a grudge and the community had had enough of their fighting and battleground attitude. No editor is irreplaceable, not you and not me, and you want to be a positive contributor here not a headache. Focus on the work, not other editors and you'll be fine.
