Hello, JMR raggster, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who use multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ  23:55, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Kindly unblock
I find it odd (and slightly amusing) that I get blocked indefinitely for reverting an edit that was clearly non-neutral to begin with, and in keeping with the rather arrogant edit message left for another user, telling said user to "let someone else do the revert if they agree with you." And when someone - me - followed that advice, the same user then turns around and reports me for being a "sockpuppet?"

I am definitely new to Wiki, and I am quite unfamiliar with many of the policies here. But I am definitely no "sockpuppet." Heck, I even offered to provide proof of identity to show that I am my own person, but apparently an admin felt that it wasn't necessary for me to provide proof in my defense.

So, for anyone out there, kindly review this incident. I don't mind receiving a block with a definite period after proper notice and the opportunity to defend myself, but quite frankly the speed at which I was blocked, and for the reasons given, considering that I following the advice of the very person who reported me, is simply outrageous.

 * To get your block reviewed again, you will need to formally file an unblock request again. But, Object404 candidly admitted that you two are friends in real life, and that he told you about the Marcos article, and that you created an account for the sole purpose of supporting his side of the argument, and skirting the 3RR. That is textbook meat puppetry, and is not allowed. This has nothing to do with the content of the edit you reverted, and it never was. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  04:07, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Good day. I am resubmitting my request to be unblocked. I have taken the liberty of reproducing the email I sent to the Wiki administrators over 6 months ago, with a few edits.

As Object404 has disclosed, we are friends in real life, and he posted about questionable edits made to the Ferdinand Marcos page. I must clarify, however, that he did not "recruit" me for this sole purpose. In fact, he did not ask for help specifically from me. It just so happened that as the son of a human rights violations victim under the Marcos regime, the topic of Marcos whitewashing is one of my personal advocacies. Thus, I felt it was incumbent upon me to participate in the discussion on Wikipedia and weigh in on the matter.

The reason why I had to create a new account is that I had a previous Wiki account that I can no longer access, as that account is linked to an email address to which I no longer have access (particularly "raggster_1@yahoo.com"). Thus I was constrained to create a new account using my current email address.

As an inexperienced Wiki editor, I was unaware of the Wiki policy on sockpuppetry/meatpuppetry, and I sincerely apologize that my editing had violated this restriction.

Nevertheless, I feel compelled to put on record the unusual haste in which my block was instituted, as well as the unusual and unfounded hostility directed at an administrator, Sky Harbor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sky_Harbor), when he appealed on both my behalf and on behalf of Object404, even being called a "meatpuppet" himself. My understanding of Wikipedia policy is that such terms are to be avoided, especially when addressing an administrator no less.

Thus, premises considered, and likewise considering that the block has remained for 6 months, I would like to respectfully ask that my block be lifted.JMR raggster (talk) 17:49, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
