I am genuinely remorseful for what I did. I now understand Wikipedia rules properly and won’t do it again! I do genuinely want to make positive edits towards Wikipedia but let my emotions get the better of me. I have learnt from my mistakes and ask for a second chance.

Bigdave9292, given that we're talking about six sockpuppet accounts, my advice to you would be to follow WP:OFFER. If you truly regret your conduct, this is one of the best ways to demonstrate good faith and demonstrate to admins and the community that you're serious. That means a minimum of six months with no edits at all on English Wikipedia (including here) and no block evasion, with contributions to another WMF project also being additionally helpful.

Thanks for the advise. I didn’t act in bad faith I was genuinely trying to make changes for the better! I would argue that @mister C 2024 should suffer similar punishment considering the edit war we had, his multiple temp accounts he used and it was also conflict of interest since he admitted he is the owner of the station Bigdave9292 (talk) 12:43, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
@The Bushranger all taken on board, I will take the time to read through all the linked information. I wasn’t blaming my block on Wayne I was saying I think he should be blocked too. I hadn’t seen the part about not talking about others. Again, I will make sure I read through all the information you have given me and will start me 6 month wait. If there is any more information you think might be useful, I’d be grateful to receive it.
thanks Bigdave9292 (talk) 05:40, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) Besides just doing the 6 month wait, productively editing other wiki projects would help to make your case much better for why you should be unblocked. If you are productively able to edit something like the simple English Wiki, people will actively want you to be unblocked, so that you will be able to provide good contributions here. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 05:51, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
