Request reason:
This is my only account. I lost the password to my previous account and cannot reset it. I do not have access to that any other accounts apart from this one (unless I created another account and of course as we all know there's no point in having more than one account). I would like to see any evidence of me using two accounts at the same time (there isn't any), usage of the previous account was never concurrent with this, or any attempt to 'pretend' to be someone else/more than one person. There, of course, is none. How can you be a sock puppet if you're only actually using one account?!
Decline reason:
There is sufficient evidence that you used multiple accounts against our policies. I have given you a link to the evidence below. I will however look into the fact that you were meant to have a 1 week block on your main account, and that this is now your main account. HighInBC 16:48, 23 April 2016 (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.

Noted. Apologies. I do not know what AfD is but I will take your word for it.

Request reason:
No disagreement with the ban itself. I would politely request that edits made with both accounts not be removed as User:DaltonCastle has attempted, as explained it is the only account used since the previous account's password was lost. There was no attempt to deceive. I note that User:DaltonCastle has attempted to remove edits that disagree with his opinions. It is only User:DaltonCastle who does not seem to find these edits reasonable and informative. User:DaltonCastle has exploited the password misfortune as justification to block edits he/her disagrees with. All the more reason to keep track of your password
Accept reason:
I have not actually unblocked, but, as you can see below, the lengths of the blocks between this account and Factorhk have been exchanged, so that you will be able to edit from this account from 22:57, 28 April (GMT). Assuming that what you say about losing passwords is true, being blocked for a week may be a little unfair, but, as has been explained to you, the way that you edited looked like an attempt to give the impression of independent support from another editor. If that was not what you intended, I can only suggest that you need to be careful about such things in future. If you are unwilling to wait out the rest of the week, you are still free to make another unblock request, but I can't say how likely it would be to succeed.

So you lost your password on both of your other accounts? -- GB fan 17:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
Correct. Have made a note of this one. Use different passwords for every email/banking/other account, as recommended by an IT expert. If you have access to the passwords you will see. I think there should be a feature where you can reset by answering 'security questions' like they have on other websites. That would have helped here! Arenwils ( talk) 17:33, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
I think if someone hacks into a site and they can get your password then they can search through other sites and get into your account from there is you have the same password for all different sites. That is why you should never use the same password twice. Arenwils ( talk) 17:39, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
If you disagree with the close of the AFD you have two options. It is recommended that you do these in order. First option is to talk to the closing administrator on their talk page and try to convince them that the close was wrong. If you are not satisfied with that option our you do not want to discuss it there you can take it to WP:Deletion review. If you continue to restore the article you could be blocked for disruptive editing. -- GB fan 15:05, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
