Why have I been blocked from editing Wikipedia? All I did was tag two sentences as needing sources, as I was taught to do in class.
 * You need to request unblock from your original account, AttackTheMoon. 331dot (talk) 00:39, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

I do not have an original account. I have made precisely two edits to Wikipedia. Why have I been blocked, for making two entirely helpful edits (and why have the tags I added, been removed?). I was told in class that Wikipedia requires sources. Should I tell my teacher they are wrong? Should I tell them that tagging statements as {citation needed} gets you automatically blocked?
 * Both and the blocking admin  explained why you were blocked and the original account you had. You were told how to get unblocked, and you're refusing to do it. Tell people what you want, but there's a written record of what actually happened. --I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me if replying off my talk page. Thank you. 02:00, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Please explain why it is believed I have an "original account", and indeed why that would mean I should be blocked if I even had one, especially since I do not recall being asked to declare one when I signed up. This is presumably possible, if you think I am lying. I have made only two edits to Wikipedia, my statement to that effect is in the written record already. If you (or they) wish to call me a liar, please state that directly and clearly, for the record.


 * You can tell your teacher whatever you wish, it's not relevant to your block. 331dot (talk) 02:11, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

It obviously was relevant. Step 1, block me. Step 2, remove the tags I placed (my only edits to Wikipedia). Step 3, refuse point blank to explain why they removed those tags. If you would like to correct the permanent record so that there is an explanation for both allegedly unrelated acts, please do so.


 * Since your only edits have been to visit a new-today article created by a specific editor to tag them for citations, your behavior is indistinguishable from the latest sockpuppets of AttackTheMoonNow. So is your behavior on this page.  Acroterion   (talk)   02:52, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

It is also indistinguishable from someone who is shown a brand new Wikipedia article by a tutor, and is asked to demonstrate their newly taught knowledge of how to identify sentences that lack citations. The permanent record now shows that you really don't have proof that I have an "original account" or not, just a suspicion, but you blocked me anyway, because you apparently have a thing against this AttackTheMoonNow fellow. Worse, part of your attempted justification, is apparently that I reacted the same way to your block! So you can hardly claim that as part of your reason to block. If they are indistinguishable from me, that must mean you have a thing against people checking new articles for citation issues, or you do not want articles written by this specific editor to be tagged. And of course, you have now recorded for the record, by ommission, your desire to flatly refuse to explain why you would remove perfectly valid tags, even if you think your suspicion about me having an "original account" is accurate or not.

Did Acroterion just admit that part of his reason for blocking me, was how I reacted to his block? And does that sound as odd as his ongoing refusal to explain why he removed my two perfectly valid tags, if we are to believe this had nothing to do with the reason for his block? This is all in the permanent record. It can be referred to, under Californain law, in any future examination of your use and justification of your powers to withdraw access to the service (see Lomax vs. Wikimedia).

 * Edits by blocked users are not allowed to stand, as that would defeat the purpose of the block. It doesn't matter what the edit is. 331dot (talk) 08:40, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
