I have now seen four posts of yours where you have accused Ol king col of sockpuppetry. (Since I have not read every edit you have ever made, I do not know whether those four are all or whether there are more.) In none of those posts have you given any evidence, apart from the curious statement that both Ol king col and an anonymous editor have failed to use a "dummy" reference list. That is really not evidence, as "dummy" reference lists are an obscure concept which I am willing to bet well over 99% of editors don't know about. After editing Wikipedia for ten years, including six years as an administrator, and making over 126000 edits, I had never heard of dummy reference lists until you mentioned them, and they are not mentioned in the documentation for Template:Reflist, nor in Wikipedia:Citing sources, nor anywhere else that I have been able to find. If you have any genuine evidence of sockpuppetry then please present it so that it can be assessed, and a decision made as to whether administrative action is needed. If, on the other hand, you do not have any evidence beyond your own suspicions, then I strongly advise you to stop making accusations, not only because persistent unsupported accusations may be seen as unfair to the accused person, but also because they are likely to diminish your own credibility.

I have long thought about what to do about your complaint on my talk page and ultimately decided a block was justified, for the following reasons:
In summary, you've tried to win a content dispute by getting the other side blocked and/or your preferred version protected. That won't work, and it's highly detrimental to a collaborative editing environment. If you think this block is in error, you can contest it via the methods laid out in the Guide to Appealing Blocks.

Techtrek ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
I have been blocked as check user block and on my AN3 report that I filed against an editwarring IP, the admin has said I am a sock but they have not explained whose sock I am? I do not have any previous user accounts on wikipedia or any other user accounts on wikipedia. I understand that using multiple users on same topic is not allowed but I have not done so. If you still think that I have done this, please explain which user are you accusing to be mine so that I can defend my stance because I am sure I have no other users.
Decline reason:
Take a look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Techtrek/Archive which explains which socks you are accused of operating. PhilKnight ( talk) 22:54, 9 July 2017 (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.
Huon the IP 5.226.137.179 was blocked for being colocation service and a proxy and not for edit war. I just noticed that they too had put up a request for unblock and you seem to be confusing their reason of unblock. I just thought I would be helpful to every one around so that my own case is heard better. -- Techtrek ( talk) 19:46, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
