Sock puppet investigation case
Hi Pacific305. Based on the discussion that I reviewed on the SPI case here involving you, I have unblocked your account and you may edit as you normally would before. It's been expressed that there are doubts as to whether or not you have violated Wikipedia's sock puppetry policy, and it's because of those doubts expressed that I no longer feel that a block is appropriate. When blocking an account for sock puppetry or any other violations of Wikipedia's policies, there must be a high enough level of certainty that violations have occurred. Based on the doubts expressed, I no longer feel that this level of certainty exists. I sincerely apologize for any frustration or other disheartened feelings that the block may have caused upon you, and I will continue to participate in the SPI discussion to figure out what happened and what initially caused me to feel that we were certain enough to block you, and why doubts regarding your involvement with this case were not expressed until after the block was placed. That's not fair on you, and for that I am very sorry.

However... I also need to bring up other matters in concern. Looking at the conversation in that same SPI cases, other editors have expressed serious concerns involving your editing and your behavior on Wikipedia. These concerns include repeated violations of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, your temperament, behavior, and repeated violations of Wikipedia's civility policy from your comments and communication on your user talk page (though I assume that it was related to the SPI case, the accusations, and the block placed on your account), and concerns based off your edits and behavior that you might not be here to build an encyclopedia. Due to these concerns expressed by other editors, a discussion may (or may not) be opened in order for the community to examine your contributions to the project. If such a discussion is opened, the community will review any evidence provided and reach conclusions based on their findings. Depending on the findings and conclusions reached, administrative action (including blocking) may be taken in order to address them and prevent further disruption to Wikipedia.

However, since the SPI noticeboard only examines cases of sock puppetry violations and your block was based only on this aspect of behavior - and doubts were expressed as to whether or not you violated this policy, I have unblocked your account. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to message me by visiting my user talk page. I'll be happy to answer any questions, address any concerns, and help you with anything you need. :-) I hope you have a great day, and I wish you happy editing! :-D Best regards -  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   04:51, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

This is the only statement Mint 400 Records would like to make publicly: "Mint 400 Records has never paid anyone or any of it's employees to create or edit Wikipedia on their behalf. To our knowledge the only content edited by anyone connected to the label has been additions to the signed bands column, removal of bands who were not signed but added their name to our signed list, and spelling error corrections. We no longer will make those edits or be involved with Wikipedia in any capacity. To our knowledge this is the only account that was ever made by a Mint 400 Records employee."  ~Pacific305~   (talk)
