Blocked for sockpuppetry

edit
 
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JustSomeone08. 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. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Girth Summit (blether) 16:08, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi - further to the above, I want to explain that while it is acceptable in some cases to operate more than one account, it is not acceptable to do so while editing the same pages unless you make a clear declaration about the connection between the accounts on your userpage, and it is never acceptable to edit war, whether using one account or several. This account has been temporarily blocked, and the other account has been indefinitely blocked; when the block expires, you need to refrain from edit warring, and from using multiple accounts. Thank you. Girth Summit (blether) 16:11, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi,
I intervened because I am native of there and moreover the sources that this person asked have been put.
So all the people who have the nickname Someone and Somebody are the same?
So two family members can't contribute to Wikipedia? JustSomeone08 (talk) 22:31, 9 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
I believe that you would be looking at something like Template:User shared IP address, but I would leave this to Girth Summit and other CheckUsers. Regardless, you should not edit war (period) or coordinate between accounts/people (see WP:MEATPUPPET) and should be fully transparent from the start if that were the case that they were another family member or someone who you may occasionally share an IP address with.

Hi TheSandDoctor,

Thank you but it's no longer useful to specify that I share my IP address with Somebody040404. Somebody040404 has been permanently blocked. Following this block Somebody040404 has decided to stop contributing to Wikipedia. JustSomeone08 (talk) 16:20, 11 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please add an edit summary when editing.

edit

Hey! I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made on Kongo people and Kongo religion did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting PreferencesEditing →  Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button.
