Recent edit reversion
editIn this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.
I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.
I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 12:24, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

edit
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Blocked as a sockpuppet

Request reason:
Kindly consider unblocking me. I've been blocked from editing indefinitely for being accused of being a sock of a user called Pr0pulsion123 or an alt-account of NomanPK44 even though I'm not. This, altay74, is the only wikipedia account I have and use and I honestly have no clue how i got blocked over this accusation where the only arguments given were "they're in the same country" and have similar editing patterns. I was also warned for being in an "edit war" with another user on certain articles. At the time i was unaware that this would cause an issue as i hadn't violated the 3-revert rule and figured there would be no other issues, but I'll stop the edit-warring too if unbanned
Decline reason:
"They're in the same country" and "similar editing patterns" is sufficient grounds to determine sock puppetry. This isn't a court of law where it must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It's also possible that this is meat puppetry, which is treated the same. 331dot (talk) 06:58, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- 331dot (and any other admins who may address future unblock requests) - 'in the same country' and 'similar editing patterns' only describe the relationship between this user and the NomanPK44 sockfarm. I am very confident, however, that this account is being used by the same person behind the Pr0pulsion 123 account (which was blocked in July as part of the سب سے بڑی گڑبڑ case). They overlap on multiple IP ranges, and on multiple articles, and there are multiple instances of this account using photographs that were uploaded by Pr0pulsion 123; there is very little room for doubt on that question.

Request reason:
Hello, kindly consider unblocking me again. For starters, I was blocked on wrongful accusations of sockpuppetry which is not true. I AM NOT PROPULSION123 OR NOMAN44PK, NOR DO I KNOW EITHER OF THESE GUYS. The relationship between my account and theirs, on the basis of which i was accused of sockpuppeting, was that we're from the same country, edit articles of similar topics and i used same pictures as them. Personally i dont believe these are reasonable grounds for investigation, my country has 240 million people and obviously there will be many people who would have an interest in their nation's military history. Plus, i used those pictures because, simply put, they were the most suitable ones for the topic i was writing about. There's a limited amount of pictures about 60 year old events, it's not like i could go back in time and take new pictures of my own. Also, about the IP overlap, I'm not very knowledgeable in this matter but from what i've read, Pakistan doesn't have an abundance of IPv4 addresses the same way many western nations do and one person i've spoken to said that whilst living in Pakistan, every time he logged onto his apple ID from a different device, it showed the IP as originating in or around Islamabad, despite the fact that he lived in a completely different part of the country. Given all this, i don't think that the IP overlap and interest overlap can be considered reasonable criteria. There's also some other matters i'd like to mention since i figure they might be brought up in response. Shortly after i was banned, another user akaspo left a message on my talk page asking if i had any social media. I gave them my instagram id and there, they asked me if i still had the references for one of my articles, the Battle of Kasur 1965, since they were interested in restoring the article (it had been deleted, along with my other articles, after i was banned). However i told akaspo i no longer had them and that was the end of our conversation. There was no coordinated movement or anything whatsoever, since i was pretty sure that was against the wikipedia rules and i was still trying to get my account unbanned at the time. One last matter, i created a second account by the name of mudakazal, which i edited from a few times after this account (altay74) was blocked. I apologize for creating it to evade my ban. However, i maintain that the ban on this account was unjust, and the frustration i felt after my wrongful ban and failed unblock request is what motivated me to create a second account (which i acknowledge is against the rules and i fully apologize for it). TO SUMMARIZE: I am not Propulsion123 or Noman44pk, i did not talk to any of them or coordinate with them, i didnt even know about these accounts until i was banned. I did give another user my social media, but i did not engage in any off-site coordination with them. I did create a second account to evade my ban, which i admit was a wrong move. The sockpuppet accusations on which this account was banned are simply not true and i believe i was unjustly banned, however I also acknowledge my wrongdoing with creating a new account but, as i've already emphasized, i sincerely regret doing that. So i kindly request that I be given one more chance and this account's ban be lifted. Thanks.Altay74 (talk) 8:14 am, 30 December 2023, last Saturday (7 days ago) (UTC−5)

@Deepfriedokra: Which behavioral evidence are you refrring to? I tried to cover everything in my appeal but i may have missed some things as it has been a few months since i was blocked. Altay74 (talk) 12:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, not going to tell you how to evade detection in the future-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:57, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- I was just asking what evidence you were talking about man... I'm trying to get my account unblocked, not make a new one to avoid detection. I already made that mistake once (with mudakazal account) and I have no intention of doing it again. Point is, this account was my only account and it was unjustly blocked with weak evidence Altay74 (talk) 06:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
Can I please be unblocked? I've already talked about why the reasons behind my ban were flimsy at best. In any case I promise to follow the wikipedia rules and avoid edit-warring going forward if the ban is lifted. I've also apologized for the attempted ban evasion and haven't done anything similar since. Just give me another chance. Altay74 (talk) 10:33, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

@Yamla: i've already tried explaining how I'm not a sockpuppet before, there's nothing more that i CAN add that I haven't already said. Wikipedia was a fun hobby for me and I miss it, so I'd love the chance to do it again. I'm more mindful of wikipedia's rules now and I'll stick to them if unblocked. No more edit-warring, or trying to "force my POV" on articles (without proper citations) etc etc. I promise I won't cause any trouble.
