Auramstate's request

This user is User:Quakewoody blocked from English Wikipedia and now he/she is trying to manipulate Wikidata by adding deletion requests to lots of Wikidata without any reason. please investigate this user if possible. I am sure this user have multiple accounts. Auramstate (talk) 08:49, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

I don't see any behavioural evidence that User:Quakewoody is abusing multiple accounts here, he is active in tracing items that do not fulfil notability criteria. At enwiki they may be blocked for this in October 2019, it is not indicated which accounts they used at enwiki, so that we cannot check for any similar abuse here. If you have serious doubts about a sock they may be using here at wikidata, you may consider a request at Wikidata:Requests for checkuser, but requests "into the blind" will not be taken.

• I have tried responding but it always ends up being a long winded diatribe. So, let me try an extremely short version -

Have I used multiple accounts on WD - YES. I have no problem admitting that. In fact, I think I have mentioned it on numerous occasions. Have I abused multiple accounts on WD - NO. Nor am I doing any sort of block evasion on WD because there isn't any WD block to evade. And worth noting, because of CoVid restrictions, I am about a year overdue for another new account. (the long winded diatribe can be typed if you care for further explanations) Quakewoody (talk) 16:53, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

But, outside of that, I have discovered a pattern developing. Admittedly, I have been blocked on EN and ID for quite some time (since 2019, I believe). However, in the past month:

1. someone (a LTA SPV) complained about me on FAWP for not speaking the language and using my EN block as bonus material. I am now blocked.
2. the same LTA SPV complained on ENWP about my usage of an IP to tag his spam, I am now range blocked.
3. I was then blocked on ZH. I don't know an initial reason, and haven't found anyone complaining (inter-language search may not show all results), but they also used my EN block as bonus material. Really odd considering that I made 9 edits in 2 years, and all but one resulted in a page removal.
4. Here on WD, as seen above, someone with a 2 week old account is trying to get me blocked using my EN block as justification. I mean, how does a new editor even know how to track down someone's global status and a Bureaucrats' noticeboard? I certainly didn't know how to do that when I was 2 weeks old. Come to think of it, I still don't know all the 'ins and outs' like that.
5. And that brings me to today - another new user is on Simple English, trying to get me blocked using my EN status as justification. This same user also brought it up HR. And I suspect will bring it up on SH shortly.

That's all pretty odd if you ask me. Quakewoody (talk) 16:53, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
