Requested username:

Request reason:

The account was blocked after an attempt to further expand knowledge on a business located in Canada, the article was in no way meant to be promotion, before creating the article, a review was done of a similar company (CodeHS) which had their article creation date on 21:52, 26 June 2014. The goal is to increase accuracy on Educational companies located in the Moncton and New Brunswick region, an improper college was linked on a page, multiple schools contained wrong links, and the creation of this article to share further knowledge on Wikipedia. Please inform me if Wikipedia currently restricts the creation of new articles, perhaps I did not have the correct social rank before making this article, as this was my first attempt. It might of passed in 2014 but might no longer be accepted in 2019, I understand this and respect whichever decision is made, I'll accept the fate of not being able to contribute to the local community if the account remains unblock, I won't bother to evade it either by creating another account. Thank you for your time to whoever reads this! your contributions to Wikipedia (in any form) are appreciated!

Decline reason:

Wikipedia does not have 'social ranks'. You seem to misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a platform for merely providing information; this is an encyclopedia, which summarizes what independent reliable sources state about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability. (in this case, the definition of a notable business) Wikipedia has no interest in what an article subject wants to say about itself, only in what others say about it. Because of this, not every business merits an article here, even within the same field. Other similar articles existing does not automatically mean yours can too, as other things exist. This is a volunteer project, and as such it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. Because of this, each article is judged on its own merits. You also have what we call a conflict of interest and paid editing relationship. You must review and (if unblocked) comply with those policies. You won't be unblocked to just edit about your company; if that's all you want to do, this is the end of the line for your Wikipedia career, and you should consider alternative forums where what you want to do is permitted. If you want to be a general, individual Wikipedia contributor, please agree to not edit about your company and tell what other subjects you will edit about instead, at least until you establish a good edit history(after six months to a year). I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 19:15, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I have wrongly created an article that did not contain enough sources and citations to be a notable article on Wikipedia, The article shouldn't be created by myself as it goes against Wikipedia's policy of promotion & SPAM. I will not contribute to editing any pages that can be seen as promotion or as a conflict of interest or create another article, To further ensure this, I will make an edit question and / or check with another user before attempting to make any sort of modification to avoid further issues in the future. The block is no longer necessary as I understand what happened and why this was wrong, I am ready to start properly contributing to the community. I will make small requests to help fix broken links on the Wikipedia pages related to my City and my province (NOT in a promotional way, but to avoid users clicking on 404 links) I would also update any information that is outdated by making an edit request WITH notable sources if I stumble upon any pages that would need these contributions

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 13:55, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]


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.

Prior declined unblock requests cannot be removed until the block itself is removed. 331dot (talk) 12:22, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
