NormadicEditor is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon.

NormadicEditor is currently busy with personal commitments. Your patience with delays in message replies is appreciated.

My talk page archives are in disorder, and I'd love any help in fixing them! Otherwise, I'll get to them eventually.

The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:10, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Mohamed Yaseen for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mohamed Yaseen is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Blocked for sockpuppetry

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NormadicEditor. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. asilvering (talk) 00:07, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

NormadicEditor (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I believe this block was made in error. I am not engaging in sockpuppetry. The user I was suspected of being is a separate individual and a friend, and we do not share an IP address or location. We happened to both edit a Wikipedia article related to a person with a similar name to someone who had just passed away. The edits were made in good faith based on confusion, not with malicious intent. Our accounts and browsing histories are separate and should show no policy violations. I respectfully request re-evaluation by a checkuser and ask that the circumstances be considered. Thank you. NormadicEditor (talk) 01:13, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Unblocking you both. asilvering (talk) 14:22, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NormadicEditor, you created the userpage for Mohamed awesome. What's up with that? Did he write it for you, and you posted it? Did you write it as if you were him? It's a very odd thing to do, so could you explain please? -- asilvering (talk) 01:43, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He doesnt know how to source edit and I told him I can create him one, I didn't know it was illegal, If I am a sock pocket sir I would never do that, because that could jeorpadise my position and if I have any control over his account. wouldn't I be doing it from that account, but I have no authority than guidance on checking out articles and stuff rather than sock pocketing ? NormadicEditor (talk) 01:49, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not illegal, it's just very weird. Since you are in contact with Mohamed off-wiki, could you please ask him to write an unblock request as well, explaining his side of the situation? Thanks. -- asilvering (talk) 01:53, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also when I joined maldivian project as you can see on my history another wikipedia friend edited and created my user page and talk page which made me believe it must be an culture or something and later own I started learning how to source edit and started editing my own user page and talk page, I received help from my community so I was trying to give back,

yes sir I have already asked and I am waiting to hear from him yet. NormadicEditor (talk) 01:57, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MEAT

Please have a read of this section of our sockpuppetry policy, and also have a look at WP:TAGTEAM. It's great to help your friends get started on Wikipedia (really, the more the merrier!), but you then immediately tried to get them to join an open deletion discussion on an article you created. That's pretty straightforward canvassing, which is enough to get you blocked, but also, as you've now seen, puts your friends at risk of being called out as your sockpuppets. Please be careful about this sort of thing. -- asilvering (talk) 14:38, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will have a look. Thank you and sorry for all the trouble. NormadicEditor (talk) 16:06, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
