Request reason:

I have been off from Wikipedia after my last statement on my talk page which was made (22nd May 2023) and after reading a statement where SilkTork said there was no need responding. So I had to take a leave which has made me understand and realise I was at the wrong side about the Wikipedia policy. With the few months, which has been over 8 months if am not mistaken, I can boldly say am totally different from past attitude. I could have come back immediately after the six month time given but I wasn't in a hurry anymore because I feel different. I actually had in mind one day I will be back here to apologise for all my wrong deeds about Sockpuppet and promise never will that happen again after my love for wikipedia as a contributor and the knowledge it has impact in my life. Each time I get to read about articles here on wikipedia it reminds me about my block account. I do always feel eager to make good contributions to the platform and also happy that I was able to create, write and took pictures about some popular places such as Iyana-Iba, Lagos State, Choba, Port Harcourt and so on. It feels lonely to be recognise as an editor who never came back to apologise for its wrongs. I hope i can be forgiven as I promise never to indulge myself into Sockpuppet anymore. And promise to make wikipedia a better place to the society, thanks. Gabriel (talk to me ) 10:29 pm, 27 March 2024, Wednesday (2 months, 6 days ago) (UTC+0)

Accept reason:

Gabriel601 appears to understand what they did wrong, and has committed not to engage in sockpuppeting, nor to write articles for pay, and to avoid any conflicts of interest. Unblocked. SilkTork (talk) 14:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Based on CU data, there's no evidence of recent block evasion that I can see. --Yamla (talk) 09:34, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I was blocked (23 October 2022) BlockList/Gabriel601.--Gabriel (talk to me ) 14:47, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Greeting @SilkTork, am actually confused right now as I don't know what else to do regarding the response @Yamla gave me that my block evasion can't be found. I was blocked by @Dreamy Jazz years ago. Gabriel (talk to me ) 13:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Yamla's only confirming that they found no evidence of block evasion over the last eight months. Checking that is a typical step in evaluating an unblock request for a sockpuppeting sanction. Many people who say they made no edits during their block are discovered to have actually edited while logged out or using another account. That Yamla did not find evidence of recent block evasion is a point in your favor. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 14:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @CoffeeCrumbs. I really do appreciate your explanation. Gabriel (talk to me ) 08:49, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

I am not an administrator, just an uninvolved editor with a longstanding interest in the gnome-y governance/administrative side of Wikipedia. But I'm really rooting for you to be unblocked here; it appears you took the WP:STANDARD to heart and I like seeing editors get second chances. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 18:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @CoffeeCrumbs. Gabriel (talk to me ) 15:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

It is good that you have acknowledged that you created sockpuppet accounts. And it is good that you have refrained from creating new sock puppets, and that you commit to not creating any more in future. This goes in your favour. One thing that you would need to clear up is any concerns that people may have about you editing for payment without telling us. We do allow people to edit for payment - but they must declare that they are being paid. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. SilkTork (talk) 03:42, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @SilkTork. I really do appreciate your response. Regarding being paid to create articles. I have never in my life had the thought of taking money from people to create articles neither writing about someone closer to me but I have a little story to share about the draft article Draft:Filmymantra Media. It's a Bollywood media company of which the founder was my friend so he approached me one day and told me he would like me to create a wikipedia page for his company which falls under the wikipedia guidelines of Conflict of interest. I never took money to write because it's not a thing I do for a living to earn but a thing I do as fun writing and to improve myself on knowledge. I also never had in mind of coming back to the draft article Draft:Filmymantra Media as it goes against wikipedia guidelines. I pledge to be honest now and forever that is why I have to talk about it. Gabriel (talk to me ) 09:23, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm inclined to unblock. User:Dreamy Jazz, do you have any objections, or anything to add? SilkTork (talk) 13:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Nothing from me. Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 13:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. SilkTork (talk) 14:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @SilkTork for the acceptance and I promise your action towards my unblock request won't be a regrettable one. I know this could be a little bit of task but I had some draft article over the years i left them due to my block and they were over six months so they got deleted as per deletion of old drafts. Draft:Iyanna Mayweather, Genesis (restaurant), Draft:Speed Darlington, Draft:Ulugbekhon Maksumov, Draft:SportyBet, Draft:Ozuoba. It won't be easy, rewriting. Although if I was to rewrite I would rather give up on them because it's not easy to come up with grammars that has been written before except I never started them. Gabriel (talk to me ) 16:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

For requests to restore drafts that were deleted because they were stale, see Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/G13. If a draft was deleted because of other concerns, such as paid editing, best raise the issue with the admin who deleted it. SilkTork (talk) 11:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. Gabriel (talk to me ) 14:11, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @Dreamy Jazz. Gabriel (talk to me ) 15:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Reporting suspicious User

Hello respected @SilkTork I hope you're well. My name is Parwiz from Panjshir, Afghanistan, and I'm a Wikipedia user. All my activities are focused on my country, Afghanistan. Recently, someone named @Gabriel606 has been opposing my activities without any reason. I don't know what his goal is, but when I visited his talk page, I saw that he had previously been accused of taking money in exchange for publishing articles. It seems that he is involved in activities that are not aligned with Wikipedia's policies, and a team of experienced users is supporting him. I hope they can be identified and blocked.

He is unfairly nominating my articles for deletion, which discourages me from continuing to work on Wikipedia. Parwiz ahmadi (talk) 15:53, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

In June 2023, @Bbb23 asked you a question of your previous account. But you decided not to reply. In January 2023, @Melcous warned you against vadalism but it doesn't seem like you have changed. In June 2024, @thetechie also warned you against WP:CANVASS but you never saw that right. Before I nominated your article for AFD. A lot of your article has been nominated and was deleted because you never submitted them for review. There is no article of yours you have ever submitted and they got accepted. You said "a team of experienced users is supporting him. I hope they can be identified and blocked". You seem to be funny lol. I hope you learn your lessons someday, because all this editors that has ever reached out to you are just trying to help you. But you want them all blocked so you can have the world all to yourself. lol and cheers. Gabriel (talk to me ) 16:42, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

If there is something going on that I can help with, let me know; but please - both of you - don't come to my talkpage to moan about other users without any other purpose than to insult that user.

Parwiz ahmadi, I am giving you an informal caution regarding making accusations against other users without evidence: see Wikipedia:Casting aspersions and Wikipedia:No personal attacks. If you are concerned that Din Mohammad Jurat is going to be deleted, then your best approach is to look into the concerns about the article, and find reliable sources.

Gabriel601, I am also giving you an informal caution regarding Wikipedia:Casting aspersions, and suggest that you strike the personal comments in your AfD nomination: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Din Mohammad Jurat - these sentences are unnecessary and are personal attacks: "Also the creator of the article seems to be a newbie which I guess hasn't practiced about the wikipedia article wizard before contributing to wikipedia." and "Maybe he had to fake it to make it look like its an independent reliable source". Remember: Wikipedia:Comment on content, not on the contributor. SilkTork (talk) 08:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Gabriel601! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 06:30, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

G6

You cannot WP:G6 an article because there was an AfD a decade ago that resulted in a delete consensus. That's not what that criterion is for. WP:G4 is closer, but the article needs to be pretty much the same, and none of the ones you've tagged meet that criterion (as when the AfD's took place, they hadn't been signed, whereas now, they had all played on various teams).

Okay. I left a message on your talk page. Just getting to see yours. You welcome. Gabriel (talk to me ) 16:51, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Chioma Avril Rowland

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Chioma Avril Rowland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chioma Rowland. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
