Note
Not that it will make much difference in your day-to-day, but I've retired the "anti-filibuster" sanction that I placed on you in August 2018, so that no longer applies. The other sanctions are set to expire soon. Unrelated, but I remember in the previous site-ban discussion MONGO proposed some sort of reverse topic ban where you'd limit yourself to editing only 5 articles. That might be a starting point for an unblock...getting those articles to GA with no drama could be used as evidence to appeal for a less restrictive ban. I dunno...maybe it's a bad idea, but it's a start. ~Awilley (talk) 19:10, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Unblock request closed
You have likely seen this already, but I should probably notify you that I have closed your unblock request as unsuccessful. Please read the comments there carefully before any subsequent requests. Vanamonde (Talk) 19:23, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

If you are watching this page
Winkelvi - I think you should respond to the accusations of socking, especially if you are innocent. If you don't defend yourself, it will be assumed that you are guilty which makes it doubtful the community will allow you to return...provided you even want to return. j/s Atsme Talk 📧 15:37, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

[User:Atsme]: Even being completely truthful and saying it's not me, I'm pretty sure nothing I do at this point will mean squat. I recall being called a liar here numerous times, by regular editors and admins, when I wasn't lying, but being totally honest. I'm not wanted in Wikipedia, that's been plain since even before my indef, in addition to the subsequent denial of request to return, and now being "tried" and tagged as a sockmaster solely on circumstantial "behavioral" evidence by a relatively new editor and admin/CU with whom I've never interacted when I was editing. How anyone can believe they are knowledgeable of someone's behavior without ever experiencing that person's behavior is beyond my understanding and logic, but the result is what it is. Wikipedia as a mostly anonymous community has shown me it is unforgiving and the normal rules of the real world don't apply. Based on all that, I think trying to defend myself, drawing up a case, and being hopeful for a return to editing would be a complete waste of everyone's time and end only in disappointment for me.

I do thank you for caring, though. -- ψλ  ● ✉ ✓ 16:41, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Good thing that got cleared up. Some folks see the boogeyman under the bed, in the closet, behind the couch.--MONGO (talk) 00:51, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Winkelvi was mean to me during the sockpuppet investigation that got me blocked 4 years ago. cookie monster  (2020)  755  21:21, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
