Request reason:

Hi! I am unsure about why I have been blocked ... I am not User:204060baby. I have been editing pages for over five years now but I have not ever in my life used multiple accounts. If you want me to stop editing Christina Aguilera's page thats fine. But please reconsider the block. From what it looks like, User: ‎Aaron106 seems to have a personal vendetta against myself and that other user so he made up a sockpuppet claim. If this is what Wikipedia does, believes false lies, then it disappoints me. There's no proof about me being a sockpuppet yet I was blocked and not warned/given the chance to prove my innocence? How does this make any sense? If you want proof, look at the differences in what User:204060baby and I edit. We both may edit Christina Aguilera pages, but I have also edited Marvel and Mariah Carey pages. Looking at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Maxwell King123321, this user seemed to be angry that I changed the lead. He was able to revert my edits rather than make up a sockpuppeting excuse. And, User:204060baby and I do not edit in the same manner. If there's a way to check that we have different IP addresses then please go for it. Maxwell King123321 23:25, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Request accepted: further explanation below. Drmies (talk) 01:44, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

You never responded to the investigation in the 23 hours it was open before you were blocked and continued to edit the Christina Aguilera article along with your sock account; so that's a lie about not given the chance to defend yourself. It's not against Wikipedia to have multiple accounts but what concerned me was using the accounts for illegitimate reasons to advance your interests as you displayed on the article and the talk page. Girth Summit also confirmed you had two other accounts aswell and lied about them. --Aaron106 (talk) 00:04, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi sorry, but I never received any notification about the investigation on my talk page or notifications. I would have responded right away. I have never had any other account - that is User:204060baby! Why am I being blamed for his illegitimate work? Is there no way to prove that we have different IP Addresses? Maxwell King123321 00:06, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
So It looks like, you think [1] this is me being notified... I cannot reiterate myself enough, I am not that user, so how can I be notified on their talk page?! And for the record, Girth Summit did NOT confirm my account was theirs. So why am I blocked? I'd also like to call User:Drmies and User:Girth Summit for their opinion as well. I would appreciate a look into this matter. Maxwell King123321 00:24, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

no to this account, when a Sockpuppet investigation starts the defendant receives a notification, and trying to lie about not receiving one doesn't help your case. --Aaron106 (talk) 00:35, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Well I'm not lying. Have a look at all my past talk page history. Nothing has come up. Why are you so determined to have me blocked? I'm not even User:204060baby and it wasn't even proven I was. And if you think I would use multiple accounts, why would I not use User:204060baby to edit other pages? The only pages the two of us edited was Christina Aguilera and Aguilera (album). I think somehow I've gotten mixed up in all of this despite not even being involved. If I wanted to use that account, I would have edited other pages as well, not just those two pages. Maxwell King123321 00:39, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
Also why are you being so WP:HOSTILE and WP:RUDE. I thought one of Wikipedia's guidelines is to Assume good faith? You are assuming I am lying and are a sockpuppet without any evidence. Maxwell King123321 00:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

In responce to your first reply, His illegitimate work which you complimented him on? [2] and replied Np! The lead is looking a lot better now well done!!!! Thats exactly the point. You used Maxwell King123321 as your main account and set up sock accounts 204060baby for Christina and LanasViolet for Lana Del Ray for illegitimate reasons to advance your own interests. --Aaron106 (talk) 01:13, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Why are you still referring to me as User:204060baby even though I have countlessly said that I am not! And for the record, I do not edit Lana Del Ray pages and I have never done so - not even a fan of hers as per my user page! Also why would you think I would use sock accounts to talk to myself? And if your theory is correct, why have I not used other sock accounts to edit Mariah Carey or Marvel pages? You're throwing baseless accusations at me for no reason at all and not answering any of my questions because you know you are wrong. Once again... let me reiterate myself: I am not that user! Maxwell King123321 01:18, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
I've not answered 'any of your questions'? I responded to you not defending yourself in the investigation twice. I replied to you about the illegitimate work comment. I have done the exact opposite of what you accused me of and people can see with their own eyes. Aaron106 (talk) 01:34, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
Where is the proof that I am User:204060baby? Where is the proof that we share the same IP address? We do not and an admin will be able see this. You have created this false accusation for no reason. Just because that user and I both wanted to change the lead image, does not mean that we are the same person. If you have a look at the past history at the Aguilera (album) page, you will see that I have reverted their work before. Why would I revert my own work? See [3], [4], [5] Maxwell King123321 01:36, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Maxwell King, this was my fault: I am sorry. I misunderstood the signals from another administrator, the one who blocked that numbersbaby editor (and who checked the IPs), and when Aaron106 said "hey this one hasn't been blocked yet", a few hours later, I misremembered the situation and thought I meant to block you but hadn't. Sorry, memory issue. I unblocked you, as you no doubt saw, and I'm sorry I made you go through this. For the record: NOTHING in the technical logs suggests you have ANYTHING to do with that editor, or any other one. Again, I'm sorry you got this mark on your record now; please forgive me. Drmies (talk) 01:48, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

That's no problem at all! You have your job to do I totally understand it must be tiring being an admin. I think I was just worried I'd lose my favourite hobby. I'm glad it was all settled. Thank you once again, I really appreciate it! Maxwell King123321 01:50, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
Sure thing--again, my apologies; it's my fault. I reverted something of yours I reverted on that talk page; do as you see fit in the actual article, though I think some talk page conversations may have to be started anew now that baby is out. That's the problem with socks: they ruin things even in hindsight. Take care, Drmies (talk) 01:53, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
