You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for, according to your own statement above, having six accounts. Having more than one account is against Wikipedia's policies, see WP:SOCK. What are the other accounts, please?. 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:.

I see that you deleted your statement this morning about having six accounts, which makes your block appeal confusing. Here is what you wrote: ": Actually I am an old wikipedia editor however this is one of my six accounts which was opened a year back. But I rarely use it. by Shrestha Shome 17:19, 2 May 2020 (UTC)" Your appeal would be more convincing if you named the accounts. Doug Weller talk 07:07, 25 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I lost those accounts. As they were not linked with any email, it is not possible to recover them. And I don't recall their usernames. --Shrestha.shome 07:40, 25 August 2020 (UTC)


 * You must remember some articles that you would have edited with those accounts, just search their history. We've got no way of knowing if there are any blocks, bans or even warnings on those 5 accounts. And having no idea what any of the 5 usernames were? You aren't being very convincing.

 * I rarely used Wikipedia. That's why I easily forget usernames and passwords. As you can see my talk page was previously edited in May 2020. This is the only reason I was forced to link my email with this account. How is this even an issue? --Shrestha.shome 14:40, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Pointy illegitimate PROD
I'll also note there that you added a PROD template to Gujarat Files giving as your reason "incomplete article for a book termed as politically motivated, and based on personal opinion, full of allegations and counter-allegations, with no utility and not of evidentiary value by Indian Supreme Court. As Wikipedia policy states that Wikipedia can't be a tool to spread misinformation. That's why I am proposing to delete it." The first sentence of PROD clearly states that PROD "is a way to suggest an article or file for uncontroversial deletion". Clearly your reason, which actually has no basis in policy or guidelines, is controversial. Doug Weller talk 10:19, 25 August 2020 (UTC)


 * This book is known as a propaganda book in real life. Source: https://www.outlookindia.com/newsscroll/sc-rejects-ngos-plea-for-further-probe-in-haren-pandya-case-slaps-rs-50k-fine/1569194 . This book is used to whitewash a genocide. One of my friends actually believe this book as truth. He told me to read this. When I asked him how he found this book; he said to me that he got to know about it from Wikipedia. Then I submitted a deletion request. Gujarat riot is a well known incident in recent history. When people searches something on Wikipedia about Gujarat or Gujarat riot, one of the first things they see is this article. I have no problem if someone reads an article about Mein Kampf, because everyone knows that Hitler is evil. Even if they get inspired to buy Mein Kampf by reading a Wikipedia article about it, they will surely know that this book is all about Nazi doctrine. But, how many people will know that Gujarat Files is a propaganda book? They see it in Wikipedia, they buy it; without even realizing it's motive. This book is already sold over 600K copies, meaning we have 600K people feed with lies and misinformation in real life. Wikipedia may be used to advertise it to 10K people more. That's where the problem lies. I believe everything has a place. But Wikipedia, a website used by more than a billion people should not be used as a media to promote hate. If this article gets published in some other website, I'm Okay with it. But, I can't see Wikipedia taking the dirty side of hate politics. As for the controversial thing you're saying, having this article on Wikipedia itself is controversial. --Shrestha Shome 15:08, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
