Request reason:

if you look at the accounts that nishkid64 claim to be socks, they were simply accounts all created on April 9 in which I was trying to remove uncited categories, they never did anything wrong. For example look at the one edit done by User:Jacobson Phillip, or the other alleged socks like User:Williamson 1957. I have done 10,000+ edits to wikipedia and have created more than 40 articles.

Decline reason:

Technical evidence confirms that you are abusing multiple accounts. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 21:06, 13 April 2009 (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.

At one time I did I make some socks to effect the result of an AFD, I didn't know we weren't allowed to do such. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joseph3333/Archive but it should be noted that the end result was for Java7837 account to be blocked for 31 hours. I have never done such behavior after that incident. It also seems to odd that me and User:SkyWriter were both blocked at around the same time, since me and him were both advocates of keeping a large amount of material on the, Converts to Judaism article, while none of the supporters of deleting the large section of material were indefed blocked. I think him and me were blocked so as to prevent us from expressing our opinion on the Converts to Judaism, talk page--Java7837 (talk) 21:13, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Come off it Java7837, you were using sockpuppets in AFDs back in June 2007, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Claimed Messianic prophecies of Jesus and even tried to hide the evidence when you were found out. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:48, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry -- it appears that I did not read this thoroughly. Sock puppetry is a serious matter. I personally have an alternate sign in, but never to engage in the same categories. I have one sign in for historical and textual articles and another for philosophical and religious articles -- and never the twain shall meet. And several admins know both sign ins.

My question is, is there a remedy here? It's been my understanding in the past that an IP can be blocked from creating new accounts. Was I mistaken about that? And is Java permanently blocked? SkyWriter (Tim) (talk) 15:18, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Quite likely; and his edit-warring with two accounts (i.e., User:TazSmith) at List of converts to Judaism would be sufficient for such a ban, especially since he's done exactly the same thing previously and been blocked for it. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 16:35, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
