Welcome!
Hi Secret.Sayyid! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.
This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.
The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.
Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:
Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.
If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

- It's very strange that you accuse me of writing it with AI, when I spent days researching and writing this due to which the draft page showed that there was no stashed content (happens after 24 hours), because of which I had to rewrite everything and redo all the citations. I'm against AI being used on Wikipedia and other informative things, so why on earth would I use it? It's very disappointing that you accuse me of something I didn't do. Please review your decision.

Blocked as a sockpuppet

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. Izno (talk) 20:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Secret.Sayyid (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Hi, woke up today to see my account blocked. I would like to say that I have no connection with the person I am suspected to be a "sockpuppet" of, I am an independent editor, who does his own research and I can tell you now that I have no association with the aforementioned user. I have a focus on Pakistani military history due to me being a proud Pakistani and I try to document everything that has happened in the past. The Battle of Biar Bet article was worked on by me for many days, and it's disappointing to see that my account has been blocked for no valid reason. After the Battle of Khemkaran was created, I was notified of a link between my article and Doomguy's (once again, I have no relation to him/her), after reading through his article, I was inclined to make an edit, as you said, within a few minutes. I mainly focus on the Indo-Pakistani war of 1965, as seen by my articles, but I do sometimes make articles on other wars. I categorically reject all claims made against me, and am very disappointed to see how I've been blocked with no solid evidence. As you have seen, the Battle of Biar Bet section on Operation Desert Hawk was made months before my account's inception, I demand that my account is unblocked with immediate effect and my articles, which I spent many hours writing, are put back up.
Decline reason:
You are very clearly a sockpuppet. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:43, 28 December 2024 (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.

Secret.Sayyid (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Since my request to be unblocked has been rejected, I will this time respond to every claim made against me
Ratnahastin says that I edited Doomguy427's article (Battle of Khemkaran) within a few minutes of it's creation. What he did not include that I was actually scrolling Wikipedia at the very same time that I received a notification in my inbox that one of my articles had been linked to Doomguy's Khemkaran article.

Furthermore, my browser history from the day shows that I was indeed scrolling Wikipedia at the time of the article's creation, see below :

Another claim (Capture of Bhimber) is similar to the Khemkaran one, look at my browser history from the 13th of November 2024

Yet another claim somehow uses my draft that I did not finish then recreated as a full-fledged article as proof of me being a sockpuppet, how does that even make sense? My draft was deleted before I could finish it off [deletion of my draft]

Next up, Hujjat al-Umari accuses me of being a sockpuppet, while being confirmed by a CheckUser evalution that he was a sock, while I was not, voiding his accusation.
Last of all, the admin who blocked me (Izno) confirmed that he had executed a CheckUser on my account and that his check was inconclusive [confirmation of an inconclusive CheckUser], showing he had no valid proof of me being a sock other than assumptions and accusations. In case of the link not working I will attach another image

With no solid proof and and virtually no reason to legitimately block me, I was wrongfully prevented from editing Wikipedia to document my country's history due to an alleged association to a person I have never come across nor had an interaction with.
This lack of proof warrants a removal of my block and I have provided ample proof of my innocence.
Decline reason:
I believe it is very unlikely that you will be unblocked by proving that you are not a sockpuppet, and I remain unconvinced by this request. Please follow WP:SO and appeal from your main account. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 09:56, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Regarding your email
You have prompted me into reviewing the evidence of sockpuppetry provided in the investigation further, and you are clearly a sockpuppet. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 01:05, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
