User talk:Winterysteppe

Here goes

I am appealing this check user block. Recently, everyone has seen a series of vandals targeting numerous people, most notably me. I had filed an SPI on the trolls, but was denied be cause those accounts were already blocked. I filed again with one goal: for the check user to hard block the IP address from editing again. Yes I socked with the account whinterysteppe. I created just that account to encourage a endorsed SPI. This time it worked, and backfired spectacularly. Amid hence my block.

Yes I screwed up. I messed up by socking. Thus, I have broken some of the solid rules that Wikipedia is built upon. For that, I deeply apologize for the crap that occurred. I am appealing the block because

• i will not create any other accounts to sock
• I will respect the rules and not deal with vandals anymore

And then five minutes later you're doing it again. Nope. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 04:24, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

here let me give a reason. I had the Altnernate Frigid Soil intended to be on computers not secure. I did not intend to Sockpuppet after that one account. As for the other accounts, I intended one of them to be a fresh start. The others can stay blocked but I definitely would appreciate using one to edit Wikipedia and leave this one behind. .

Considering the extent of your confirmed socking, I can't see any admin unblocking you at the moment - I certainly will not, and I like to think I'm one of the more lenient ones. I think the advice from Oshwah below is spot on. I urge you to spend six months away from en.wiki and working on Simple, and then request unblock here under the Standard Offer with a good record on Simple to show how well you can work on Wikimedia projects. You should also seriously consider taking up Oshwah's kind offer of mentorship at Simple. If you go along with this suggestion, you're welcome to ping me here in six months when you make an unblock request, and I will consider it favourably.
