Request reason:

My account was blocked indefinitely as a suspected sock puppet of ProFromDover. I have never made edits to Wikipedia using any other username except for "180north" and I have no idea who "ProFromDover" is. 180north (talk) 15:01, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am declining your request as the behavioral evidence linking you to ProFromDover and his other accounts is very strong. Furthermore, a checkuser scan run on your account shows indications that this may not be the only account you have recently created. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:06, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Review[edit]

The editor requested unblock via email today, in which I am declaring on this page for transparency, declined. The user did explain that the other account noted by Hersfold, but in my opinion the sock diffs still are conclusive even if the sock is 4 years after. Any admin feel free to contact Hersfold or I for the email. -- DQ (t) (e) 22:47, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock offer[edit]

After private correspondence with the user, the user will have their block reduced to 3 months subject to the following conditions (as specified in the email) subject to the users onwiki agreement:

You will be blocked for 3 months, and you may not use any IPs, other user accounts, or other people to edit.
After 3 months, you will have the chance to find a mentor/coach. You will have a period of reasonable time to do so. During this time period, you will be restricted from editing the Marshall Sylver page or anything related to the subject. The mentor must be primarily a content contributor.
For the following three months you will be restricted to one revert in a 24 hour period.
You can choose to end your mentorship after 1.5 months if you wish. But you must stay active with your mentor for the first 1.5 months after the block expires.
Any violations of the above conditions, or any sockpuppeting will result in a reinstatement of the indefinite block.

I agree. 180north (talk) 14:26, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My 3-month block has expired, so I am now looking for a mentor/coach. 180north (talk) 17:06, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
