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/Traineek. 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:.

 * Six months from the date of your block is January 5, 2023.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:06, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi Bbb23,Daniel Case,NinjaRobotPirate and Yamla, May I know how long does review process take? It has been a month since I appealed for my unblock. Please advise. Thank you. GoldenTaurus (talk) 17:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I previously said, "you'll have to work hard to demonstrate you can be trusted going forward". You haven't even attempted to do so. I think reviewing administrators are being kind by not declining your unblock request, hoping that you haven't finished writing it yet. --Yamla (talk) 17:17, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the reply, Yamla. I was blocked indefinitely for sockpuppetry in July 2022. Unlike last time which i created new accounts to evade sanction, this time I did not create new account nor made single edit for the past 7 months. I fully understand the rationale behind prohibiting editors from creating multiple accounts. I would like to demonstrate that I can be trusted. Going forward, I will be cautious not not engage in edit war and I promise will never violate sockpuppetry ever again. I will work hard to be qualified editor that makes positive contributions to the community. Please don't block me for life. Thank you GoldenTaurus (talk)
 * You still haven't addressed your dishonesty around your prior abuse of multiple sockpuppets. On that basis, I strongly oppose unblocking you at this time. Hopefully an administrator will be along shortly to review your request. This will be my last response. Please don't ping me again. --Yamla (talk) 18:30, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply, i will not Ping you as per your request. I am sincere about my appeal and i really appreciate your advice. if there is anything that i need to address and i havent done so, i hope you can be more specific. You said i haven't addressed my dishonesty around prior abuse of multiple sockpuppets, but i have already confessed in my prior appeal that i abused multiple socks to avoid sanction. If you are referring to my denial of using sock in my very first appeal, not only i apologized and admitted using of socks later on, i revealed all my socks in my second appeal above. I am not asking to unblock my account immediately after the block, i waited and ceased my activity on wikipedia for more than 6 months. During this time, neither did i create new account to evade sanction nor made a single edit on wikipedia. There is no point i hide or deny from my previous abuse of multiple socks. As stated above, traineek, BNPparibasguy, GoldenTaurus and MarcofuUSA are all socks that i have created and used previously. I fully understand that sockpuppetry is serious misbehaviour and I promise i will never do that again. I would like to demonstrate that i can be trusted, i can only prove it with my action in future, one more chance is all i am asking for. Please dont block me forever. GoldenTaurus (talk)


 * Hi Bbb23,Daniel Case,NinjaRobotPirate, please advise what else should i do for my appeal. I fully understand that sockpuppetry is serious misconduct. I would like to demonstrate my sincerity to obey by the rules, I have ceased activities on wikipedia for the past 7 months, i have neither made a single edit nor created new account. Moving forward, I will always remind myself and be cautious not not engage in edit war and will never create socks to evade sanction. I will work hard to be a qualified editor that makes contributions to the site. Please don't block me forever. Kindly review my appeal and advise. Thank you GoldenTaurus (talk


 * Hi Spicy, 331dot, Amire80,Beetstra,Canadian Paul,Daniel Case Kindly advise what else should i do for my appeal. I fully understand that sockpuppetry is serious misconduct. I would like to demonstrate my sincerity to obey by the rules, I have ceased activities on wikipedia for the past 7 months, i have neither made a single edit nor created new account. Moving forward, I will always remind myself and be cautious not not engage in edit war and will never create socks to evade sanction. I will work hard to be a qualified editor that makes contributions to the site. Please don't block me forever. Kindly review my appeal and advise. Thank you GoldenTaurus (talk)


 * Hi 331dot, Thank you for your advice. to give you a little more details about my case. I was blocked indefinately for sockpuppetry, according to WP:SO, one has to wait at least 6 months without sock or block evasion and Promise to avoid the behavior that led to the block/ban which in my case is abusing multiple socks to evade sanction. I ceased all my activities on wikipedia for 8 months, 0 edit during the block and i didnt create any new account to evade sanction. About the edit warring, i violated 3RR rules which i was unaware of. I studied the wikipedia rules and regulations after my block and i now fully understand what can be done and what i cannot do. I would act in accordance to the rules and regulation of wikipedia, i understand that 3RR is the bright-line-rule for everyone to follow. So there is no excuse for anyone whether one thinks his point is correct. I will learn to assume good faith towards other editors with different opinions and will discuss with respect based on facts. and i will continue to make valuable contributions on topics like this example . One chance is all i am asking for. Please let me demonstrate i can follow the rules. Thank you GoldenTaurus (talk)
 * I've said how you can demonstrate you can observe rules. You can still make another unblock request for someone else to review, but I would advise against it for now. 331dot (talk) 13:44, 17 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi 331dot,Thank you so much for the prompt reply, I really appreciate it. I just want to clarify some points above. Firstly, your advice is that I do not request unblock for a full six months, does that mean I must wait for another 6 months? Secondly, about the projects, I would love to participate in projects that I can be help with my expertise, but after going through the projects listed in the main page, I couldn't find a project that is within my knowledge. Is participating in those projects a compulsory task to complete before request for an appeal or voluntary basis? and Lastly, I have described how I violated 3RR rules previously and how I have studied the rules and regulations during my block period. Now I fully understand what I can do and cannot do. I am willing to listen and change. and would like to demonstrate my sincerity to abide by the rules moving forward. If there is anything missing, please advice whatever I have failed to address. Thank you. GoldenTaurus (talk)

April 2023
Hi, Sir/Mdm,

I was blocked on 5th July 2022 for WP:SOCK. Although not the reason for my block, before that, I was also blocked temporarily for 48 hours for violating the three-revert rule (3RR). No excuse, I was wrong for violating WP:EW and WP:SOCK to evade sanction using various socks below. Here is the list of the accounts that I have created on wikipedia.

1. Traineek

2. MarcofuUSA

3. BNPparibasguy

4. GoldenTaurus

To give a little more details of the full story, let me briefly explain how I ended up creating 4 accounts in total. My first and main account was Traineek, I can't recall exactly when I signed up the account as far as i can remember, it should be around the year 2010 more or less, i wasn't an active user until Feb 2021 when I started making edits in Korea history related pages. Then one day I got into a debate with some Chinese editors over a controversial historical issue. At that time I didn't know any editing rules and as a result  I was warned and blocked from editing for 31 hours for violating 3RR and then after 31 hours again I violated 3RR and the second time I was blocked indefinitely for continuing violating 3RR. Because I didn't know anything about the rules, I also didn't know how to make an appeal. So what i did was, i created multiple accounts, the 3 accounts that I listed above as backup in case any of those accounts got blocked i can use another one to continue editing. Then in June 2022, I was blocked for 48 hours for violating 3RR rules again and so I used my backup sock to continue editing and this is how I ended up here getting blocked indefinitely for using sockpuppetry.

Unlike previous times, I created new accounts to evade sanction and continue editing, this time I took time and effort to study rules and now I fully understand the terms of use and policies of Wikipedia.

I sincerely apologize for the damage and disruption I have caused due to my lack of understanding of the rules and also my unwillingness to learn attitude that lead to my block. And having to understand the appeal guidelines, Here are the changes that I promise to make moving forward if I am given a chance for an unblock.

1. I promise to follow the terms of use of Wikipedia.

2. I will assume good faith towards other editors with different opinions and be respectful to everyone.

3. I promise to make constructive contributions based on facts, knowledge and evidence.

Last but not least, Regardless of the appealing result, I promise I will not violate sockpuppetry ever again. It's either I return to wikipedia after unblocked or no return at all. A block evasion via sock is not in the option.

Thank you for your time and waiting patiently for your kind review. GoldenTaurus (talk) 15:18, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello 331dot, With your kind advice, I have rewritten my appeal and tried my best to specifically address the actions that lead to the block as well as what I will do to avoid same things from happening again (such as what steps I will take to avoid edit warring) and my commitment not to use socks ever again. I have not not done a single thing to evade sanction ever since i was block 9 months ago. I hope I have demonstrated my sincerity and strong commitment to follow the terms of user of wikipedia. Again, I am deeply sorry and I apologize for the actions that I have committed in the past. Thank you for your precious time and anticipating your review and consideration of my sincere request.

 * Hi 331dot, I just want to tell you that I will take your advice and I will not appeal for full six months. In the meantime I will also participate in other wikimedia projects that I am not blocked to demonstrate my good participation. Apart from that, Can you advice if you saw my appeal above, Have I addressed all issues of your concern? If not, what else is lacking so that I can bear in mind and  improve on that. And since I have decided to cease my appeal for now, please advise if you want me to cancel the current pending appeal myself or you will do the procedure decline from your side. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon. GoldenTaurus (talk) 16:43, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I would suggest that you deactivate your request. I would prefer to weigh in further at a future time. 331dot (talk) 17:11, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
