You’re way past [[WP:3X]], so if you ever want to rejoin the community I suggest you stop socking and wait six months, then appeal for talk page access through [[WP:UTRS]]. Then you’ll be able to appeal to the community to have your ban lifted. If you keep up the socking it’s pretty unlikely the ban will ever be lifted.

== Banned by the community ==

I see that SFR mentioned [[WP:3X]] in their comment in December, but they weren’t explicit about whether they were invoking it. For the avoidance of doubt, you are hereby [[WP:CBAN|banned by the community]]. [[User:Girth Summit|Girth Summit]][[User talk:Girth Summit| (blether)]] 20:20, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia’s technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

This user’s unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

JohnAdams1800 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I do not believe I merit an indefinite block, though I do merit being blocked until May 26, 2025. I have ceased using this talk page for extraneous purposes. I provide constructive edits with reliable sourcing on Wikipedia, and have stopped engaging in original research. I am not paid to edit Wikipedia, nor do I disrupt or vandalize pages. I am willing to appeal to the Arbitration committee if necessary.

Decline reason:

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.

Your primary block now is not for the content of your edits, but entirely for your behavior: creating another account to evade your block. You’ll need to address that, and only that, in any future unblock request. –jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 17:35, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

This is replying to Jpgordon regarding WP:SOCKBLOCK, not to immediately be allowed to edit. I did not repeat any of the editing behaviors that got me blocked originally in my sockpuppet account. I’ll accept a long ban, but believe my editing is in good faith and doesn’t merit an indefinite ban. My original block was due to WP:OR, not vandalizing Wikipedia or engaging in disruptive editing.

Decline reason:

By definition, evading blocks is in bad faith and indeed itself merits an indefinite ban. –jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:51, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jpgordon To keep this concise, per WP:SOCKBLOCK, I could potentially merit being unblocked after an extended period of time (i.e. six months). Can we ask the Arbitration Committee about whether I deserve an indefinite ban? JohnAdams1800 (talk) 20:14, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Who’s “we”? I’m not asking Arbcom to help you, and no other admin will either. That’s totally on you. If you abide by the terms of the standard offer, some admin might be willing to accept it. –jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 20:25, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll be active on other Wikimedia Foundation projects then, like Wikimedia Commons. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 23:24, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I’ll shut down this page until you request via Wikipedia:Unblock Ticket Request System that you’re ready to request unblock based on WP:SO. –jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 00:07, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jpgordon, would this mean you’re declining the above unblock request? It’s odd to see an active unblock request when TPA has been removed. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:38, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It’s not appropriate for me to decline an unblock request when I’m the blocking admin. –jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:51, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. Declined. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:54, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is now further block evasion and an SPI at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JohnAdams1800. — asilvering (talk) 04:56, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noting that block evasion by IP continues. — asilvering (talk) 17:03, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Block, revert, ignore. –jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:45, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but for those of us working unblocks without the special goggles, it’s handy to know if there’s a history of WP:LOUTSOCKing. — asilvering (talk) 22:32, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Then your observation belongs in the SPI, no? –jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 22:54, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Already there. 🙂 — asilvering (talk) 23:34, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

JohnAdams1800 continues his sockpuppetry and original research from his university; please consider blocking the entire range. User contributions for 128.174.44.42 – Wikipedia @Asilvering @Jpgordon @PhilKnight @Firefangledfeathers Theofunny (talk) 16:13, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Their edits to 2000 United States presidential election in Florida are classic JohnAdams1800 WP:SYNTH (I’ve reverted). They cite the reasoning behind Miami-Dade vs. Palm Beach/Broward margin changes by citing an article that makes no mention of either of these counties, instead extrapolating a general national trend on their own. Given their now extensive block evasion, it’s getting much harder to attribute good faith to their inability to follow WP:OR and related P&Gs. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 16:49, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And his Gen Z slang in the edit summaries is also an extremely recognizable trait. Theofunny (talk) 16:52, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve blocked the entire /16, which was all him, but UIUC has a bunch of non-sequential IPs, so it’s possible he’ll pop up on one of those. Just let me know if so and I’ll squash those too. — asilvering (talk) 17:13, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you but the blocked IPs are not linked to his sockpuppetry page including the one you blocked on 29 June. Theofunny (talk) 17:46, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose I may as well draw one up for paperwork reasons for this rangeblock. You’re welcome to use SPI to report any others. — asilvering (talk) 18:29, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another sockpuppet. @Asilvering@Firefangledfeathers @CoffeeCrumbs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2600:1008:B226:6533:A479:E85A:1CAE:4F1E

God knows how many articles he’s ruined.

@ScottishFinnishRadish You’ve already temp blocked some of these. This guy is destroying wikipedia. Theofunny (talk) 11:42, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please range block him. The temp blocks expired.

https://ibb.co/N8Wnfxn Here’s VK Kudva/JohnAdam1800 from UIUC talking about Florida and Gerogia’s electoral trends on X(Twitter) and here’s he adding his OR to wikipedia from his sock at the same time. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Florida&diff=prev&oldid=1309700898

This guy is a menace. Theofunny (talk) 11:54, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not able to devote any attention to this. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:25, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Theofunny, I said You’re welcome to use SPI to report any others., not “please ping us to his talk page if there are any others”. — asilvering (talk) 17:31, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Theofunny (talk) 12:04, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JohnAdams1800. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, “Educational polarization in the United States“.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:04, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
