The Great Wikipedian

My Final Statement

Retired/Blocked

This user is, of their own desire and a block, no longer active on Wikidata.

Hello members of the Wikidata Community,

Thank you for supporting me through my experience on Wikidata. I truly think it is the best Wikimedia Wiki. It has a great, kind community with knowledgeable crats and admins. I was incorrectly blocked, but I won't argue that point further as I don't think consensus will ever be reached. I hope to rejoin this amazing community sometime a lot later in my life. I hope this project continues to be successful and that other users join and make this a large part of their lives. I want to thank @BrokenSegue for being supportive, encouraging, and assuming good faith even when others didn't. I want to thank all the users who supported me during my time here and when I applied for rollback. While I wasn't here for long, I will never forget Wikidata and it's community. You have really made me happy to contribute to this project, and I hope that feeling continues to other users. I am still so upset to be blocked, but I know @Jasper Deng is really just trying their best to prevent disruption here. Goodbye, and I hope to see you again someday.

Signed with deep sorrow,

(P.s can another user remove my name from the list of users on the Wikidata:WikiProject Counter-Vandalism page and copy this message on my user page)

Advice

So I see your request for rollback permissions was denied. I'm sorry about that especially since I'm the one who suggested you go for it so soon. Generally our standards are fairly low but I think one problem is that you seemed ***too** eager to get permissions. On Wikipedia people generally are worried about giving permissions to people who seem to want a privilege for its own sake rather than to help the community. You do seem like a strong contributor and I'm confident that if you continue you will get rollbacker/adminship eventually. Sorry about this setback. BrokenSegue (talk) 20:30, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Your comment below would be appreciated! The Great Wikipedian (talk) 20:43, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Blocked

In addition to Confirmed sockpuppetry, this block is also because you are leaving block notices when the original admin has not chosen to do so (often duplicating the manually-written messages), and because in my judgement you are generally too immature to participate on this project. If you continue hopping projects like this, you likely will be globally banned. Please don't let it come down to that. Jasper Deng (talk) 20:35, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet. I don't know how I can prove this any more than I already have. The block notices were not fake, they were just informing the user that they were blocked and telling them how to appeal. If someone would have told me I shouldn't do this, I would have stopped, but you just blocked my straightaway. These users were actually blocked, so the warnings were not fake. I am sorry I came off as too immature, but I wasn't given any ways to improve. Please just actually tell me what I am doing that is immature. I can learn. Other people on here support and believe me, can you please too? Would you consider any form of unblock? The Great Wikipedian (talk) 20:42, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Then please explain Category:Wikidata sockpuppets of Cbauman12 and the concurrence of multiple other wikis' CheckUser teams (and my own data) on your relation to them. You aren't an admin and oftentimes admins have reasons not to place block notices. Out of all likelihood you are never going to be unblocked here or anywhere on Wikimedia for a huge while with this level of socking. --Jasper Deng (talk) 20:46, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Then please explain Category:Wikidata sockpuppets of Cbauman12: I can't explain those accounts. I have nothing to do with them. I have an in progress appeal on ENWIKI that says this if you are curious: (X's are info ive censored)

Hello, my name is XXXXXXXXXXX and I was recently blocked on Wikipedia for being a sockpuppet of a user. This user (Cbauman12)is completely unrelated to me. I have come up with 3 main reasons/evidence to prove this for you. 1. I was "checked user" blocked, which I found means that someone looked at my Ip adress, browser, and device and concluded that I was a sockpuppet. I edit Wikipedia from my school, as I am XX. Every student, staff member, and member of Administration uses a Chromebook, with Google Chrome browser, and operates under the same Ip adress. So, while it may appear that we are realted, Cbauman12 must be another staff or student. (probably the later) 2. Our Ip adress was school blocked (probably because of cbauman12), so I had to request an account. They created my account with my email (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) which is different from the one the other user must have used to login. This proves we are 2 separate students. 3. I looked at the users edits, and they are clearly drastically different from mine. Cbauman12 vandalized, disrupted Wikipedia, and engaged in content disputes. My account was the exact opposite. If you review my 100 edits, you can see that I am getting rid of vandalism, warning users who disrupt, and helping resolve disputes by becoming a volenteer. In conclusion, I am clearly not a sockpuppet of the user because my edits are drastically different from Cbauman12's and because I login with a different email that registers to a different person. I believe that this is 1 big misunderstanding, and I am greatly looking forward to being able to contribute again once unblocked.

You aren't an admin and oftentimes admins have reasons not to place block notices:I am sorry. If I had been told not to, I would have stopped. You should have warned me, not blocked me.

Out of all likelihood you are never going to be unblocked here or anywhere on Wikimedia for a huge while with this level of socking: I am not a sockpuppet and I am trying to prove that. I hope you are wrong about that. The Great Wikipedian (talk) 20:54, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I found more evidence than can be explained by the above, simply put. As for warning you, you received a much shorter leash because of the socking and because of your record elsewhere.--Jasper Deng (talk) 20:58, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

@Jasper Deng: So I think there are two issues here. One is the sockpuppetry. That is an issue I won't comment on having little experience with CU and it seems there's already a process on enwiki to investigate this. I defer to your CU experience. But the issue of placing block messages on talk page I do not think merits a 3-month ban. Especially without any warnings being given. I see that it's possible that the user had good intentions. I'd like to assume good faith. BrokenSegue (talk) 20:58, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

If it were just placing the block notices, the block would've been much shorter, probably a day or two, to be clear. I would've still leaned towards a block because of the scale of disruption (I had to use Special:Nuke to undo a lot of it). The reason it is indefinite is the socking.--Jasper Deng (talk) 21:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

The block is indefinite, not three months. I am not a sockpuppet. Please read my appeal above and tell me what evidence you found when you said-> I found more evidence than can be explained by the above, simply put. The Great Wikipedian (talk) 21:03, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I am not at liberty to disclose more information other than that the above explanation simply does not hold up.--Jasper Deng (talk) 21:05, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
