June 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page OpenVPN Over SSH has been reverted.
Your edit here to OpenVPN Over SSH was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://uwnthesis.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/how-to-bypass-government-censorship-in-china-and-syria-openvpn-sheathing/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:07, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

July 2015

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for sock puppetry. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 17:58, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

WikiVPN888 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I would like to appeal to this block because I am not a sock puppet nor do I have multiple Wiki accounts. I only have one account (this one). I would like to know on what basis was I market as a sock puppet, please.WikiVPN888 18:12, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The basis is Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WikiVPN888 where this account was linked to two others by both behavioural and technical evidence. If this should bring up the "Those were not me but my coworkers" defense, see WP:MEAT. Huon (talk) 18:19, 7 July 2015 (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.

WP:COWORKER would be more directly applicable to that situation that WP:MEAT probably, but to the same effect. Gaijin42 (talk) 20:41, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I stand by meatpuppetry. Those accounts, which gave the appearance of being independent, were obviously only created to agree with WikiVPN888. That's classic sockpuppetry (or meatpuppetry, if there were several humans involved), not just shared IPs by independent editors. Huon (talk) 22:11, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiVPN888, I've blocked you for two weeks from today from meat puppetry. The next time the block will probably be indefinite.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:38, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
