Request reason:
English is not my first language and I'm not sure how to go about explaining myself. I'm not a sockpuppet and I only edit here once every few days. My username could have bear similarity to a blocked user but we are obviously two different individuals with vastly different edit patterns. Can someone please unlocked me? I wish to continue contributing to articles concerning cinema.
Decline reason:
The overlaps given below are too suspicious for me to unblock. You are welcome to make another unblock request but would need to address each in turn. Yamla ( talk) 13:42, 18 May 2019 (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.
@ NinjaRobotPirate:@ Lugnuts:. Our English proficiency is a clear giveaway. I'm still learning the ropes on Wikipedia, while seeing Film Fan's edits, they are clearly good at rebuffing other users (Lol). As to what user Nardog has posted on Sockpuppet investigations/Film Fan, I can offer my explanations one by one. The similarity in username is a coincidence. I admit I did not put in much thought in creating a username and just came up with one that is common and easy to remember. As to "similar area of edits (particularly uploads of film posters)", if you compare my edits and Film Fan's edits, you can see that our edits are very much different. I spent a lot of effort creating articles and at a quick glance at Film Fan's edits, they don't do that at all. They are fond of edit-warring, but I did not. I hardly interact with other users as I think time is better spent on improving Wikipedia, to make up on areas where the contribution rate is declining. Also it took me a lot of time to figure out how to upload a poster, searching for sources and what not. I had to refer to other film pages to see how users upload new posters and updated posters over those initial teaser posters. If you take a good look, the quality of the posters that I've uploaded are actually pretty sub-par but look okay to average readers. Saying so much, I really do hope all my uploads and edits are restored, as they took me a lot of time and effort, and it has almost escalate to me having a panic attack after seeing most of them speedily deleted. I'm not Film Fan and I have only been quietly contributing to Wikipedia and I hope to continue to do so in the future. Filmnfan ( talk)
@ NinjaRobotPirate:: Hello, I noticed you have logged in since my last reply, but have probably missed my reply. I was wrongly accused by a user and it was a great shock to me when I realized I have been blocked indefinitely on here, and even more so when my article creations and poster uploads are all deleted on a whim. I had spent a lot of time to read the guidelines and policies before starting to edit to avoid creating any trouble for other seasoned editors. There wasn't any disagreements with me and other users or conduct issues pertaining to me and suddenly I'm struck with a ban out of nowhere? I didn't even had the chance to counter the doubts which the other users had. Please compare mine and Film Fan's edits again. You'll see we are not related at all. It's completely devastating when all the hard work and time you have put in improving Wikipedia goes down the drain. Out of the 72 pages I've created, 56 are deleted without anyone's consultation and discussion. It's a huge blow to me. Please consider reversing your decision and all is well. I'll not blame anyone for the erroneous block and I'll just continue to do my gnome work here. Filmnfan ( talk) 15:23, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
@ Lugnuts:@ Dlohcierekim: Duh, Film Fan probably doesn't realize that their emails were ill-intentioned and untimely. It looks like they have been lurking on Wikipedia all this time. I leave it to the admins to compare our editing behavior and arrive at a conclusion. Filmnfan ( talk) 01:40, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hella heck, I honestly do not know who is Film Fan or Lugnuts or whoever it is. This indefinite block is so odd and unjust. I'm only a small-time editor who is interested in editing film articles. I feel like this unblock request is going round in circles. I'm emphasizing this again, I'm NOT Film Fan, I'm never once them and I am NOT related to them in any way.
At this point of time, whenever I logged in here, it reminds me that I'm still very upset that the numerous articles that I've created were mass deleted. My only wish is for them to be restored. It took a lot of time and effort to create. Not many people are willing to do this and there are still a lot of missing articles on arthouse films. I've said my piece and I hope the admins here will restore the articles that I've created and my editing privileges. Thanks. Filmnfan ( talk) 00:22, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This is a checkuser block based on non-public identifying information so it cannot be appealed on-wiki. Your remaining course of appeal is to email the arbitration committee. -- Chris (talk) 23:17, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

This is now a CheckUser block. It should not be lifted without consulting me. I can email the evidence to other CheckUsers. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 16:44, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

To anyone out there who can read this, I'm seeking help in acquiring an unblock. About a week ago, I found that I was blocked and can't edit anywhere except on this talkpage. All the articles which I painstakingly created were all deleted as well as a number of posters which I've uploaded. I do not understand what exactly happened. I have been wronged; mistaken for some other blocked user who I do not know at all, and there are users who popped out of nowhere and accusing for me a "sockpuppet". I do not know why the editors and admins on Wikipedia are so hostile to someone who is sincere in contributing to the project. I have volunteered my time and effort on Wikipedia without getting any benefits. I'm not expecting anyone to be appreciative of my contributions, but I was duly shocked when my contributions were deleted within a few clicks by admins.
I was asked to offer my explanations to be unblocked, which I had given above. Lengthy and detailed, which took me some time to write out. Those were precious time which I thought could have been better spent at creating or improving articles. I do not understand why after giving clear-cut explanations, I still being blocked from editing. It hurts that the admins who requested for the explanations to unblock me seem to have gone on to doing other stuff, ignoring my unblock request, while I'm stuck here waiting for a closure. I have been told to be patient but like every other users and admins, I too have commitments offline. This back and forth questioning and replying is tedious. No one likes to be left hanging there. I sound like a broken clock repeating myself again and again for this past week. I do not understand why it is so difficult to unblock me within a few clicks and everyone can move on. The concrete proof is there. I am not the blocked user Film Fan. I do not know where else to seek help since I can't edit anywhere except here. Would someone please help unblocked me and restore my contributions? Filmnfan ( talk) 03:04, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
