Request reason:

I believe I should be unblocked because of my genuine interest in contributing to Wikipedia, which has been misclassified as a false positive "puppet user". If unblocked I would continue contributing to the freeCodeCamp page, which most of my contributions have come from. Otherwise, my other contributions have been for Pan-Genome and Metagenomics pages. These two pages are in the broader category of Bioinformatics and Computational biology, which are more of my expertise. I have not contributed to them as much because I am still new at contributing to Wikipedia. I have been following freeCodeCamp since its inception and I am familiar with the impact it has had on the developer community. That is why I felt the strong urge to contribute for the first time to its Wikipedia page as I believed in its importance and place on Wikipedia. I suspect I was blocked because of the majority of my edits have been made on freeCodeCamp page, which has been imposed upon me in error. My activity is understandably "suspicious." I'm both frustrated and impressed that I was blocked. However, I have not been contributing to Wikipedia for very long and that page was new enough for me to experiment with making changes. I now have more experience with contributing to pages and have now found the Wikipedia:Community_portal page. This page shows other open edit opportunities I can contribute to and links to other pages on how to start contributing to Wikipedia. If I have misinterpreted my block overall, please clarify the block and I can update my argument. As I have mentioned, I am still new to contributing. I will try to make some time to go through the Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia page for more advice on how to edit correctly and effectively. Thank you for taking the time to consider this appeal and volunteering your time to Wikipedia. I hope you'll allow me to help contribute to the Wikipedia community. - Erictleung (talk) 

Accept reason:

Taking a second look over the request and reviewing it in detail, there is a likelihood of this account being a sock, but not enough evidence at this time to hold that theory together completely, so i'm AGF unblocking. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 03:26, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
