Blocked as a sockpuppet
 | This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of Davidbuddy9 (talk · contribs · global contribs · page moves · user creation · block log) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted.

Request reason:
The AfD's that were used to prove me as a Sockpupet was only 4 AfD's of multiple AfD's RfC's etc. that I have commented on. I have voiced opposition akin to that of Davidbuddy9, but these AfD's are abriary AfD's used to question the use of certin formulas and to prevent the use of sources by deleting the page instead of taking it to talk first. I would honestly say that these 4 AfD's are the four worst examples that could be provided. For example my comments on this TfD I have made explicid points that Davidbuddy9 did not make, I do not understand how this would be evedence of a Sockpupeting event or even a meat pupeting event? There really is no clear and concise evedence to prove here that I am affiliated with Davidbuddy9's account at all. QuentinQuade (talk) 21:50, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
To the contrary, there's technical evidence against you. Max Semenik (talk) 21:55, 7 April 2016 (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.
