Hello, I'm Serols. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Poovanthi—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Serols (talk) 09:02, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

As you very clearly know, because this was specifically pointed out to you, any use of other accounts to get around your block is, by definition, abusive. Additionally, remember you are banned, not just blocked. There's zero chance the community will consent to lifting your ban based on the above. You'll want to take a different approach. I very strongly suggest waiting at least six months with zero edits is the minimum, the absolute minimum, that you need to do. It's not enough, but it'll almost certainly be a requirement. --Yamla (talk) 19:09, 25 February 2022 (UTC) Well, six months is a good start. But come on, 11 sockpuppet accounts?!? And more than that, you kept on creating new accounts after you were caught. You'll need to account for that and you'll need to stop making your absolutely ludicrous claims that your sockpuppets weren't abusive. You've worked hard to demonstrate you haven't the slightest intention of following Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. No sooner than six months from now, you'll have to work hard to convince the community you've reformed. Abusing the unblock template is a terrible, absolutely terrible, start. That will count against you. I very strongly suggest you remove your unblock request immediately before someone notices. --Yamla (talk) 19:23, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The block on my IP address has been set to expire on 3 April by User:Zzuuzz, may I create an account after that? Smethport (talk) 15:43, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
 * What am I supposed to do to "account for that"? Also, claiming that my sockpuppet accounts were not abusive is not "absolutely ludicrous", please look at the contributions of User:Helperrs. Yamla also reverted the edits that account made just because it was my sockpuppet, regardless of whether the contributions were actually helpful. Smethport (talk) 10:49, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Block evasion is abusive, irregardless of the edits themselves as you well know considering how many accounts you used. Any edit made by a sock is in violation of policy hence the reverts. Lavalizard101 (talk) 11:53, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The block on my IP address has been set to expire on 3 April by User:Zzuuzz, may I create an account after that NO that would be block evasion as this account is indefinitely blocked, as has been made clear to you several times, are you deliberately ignoring what is being said? Lavalizard101 (talk) 16:04, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Well then why didn't Zzuuzz set it to expire in 6 months? Smethport (talk) 17:57, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Blanking
You are not permitted to remove (or edit) declined unblock requests for your currently active block. Do not do so again. --Yamla (talk) 19:26, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Checkuser data shows no evidence of recent block evasion. --Yamla (talk) 10:36, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
