Unblock request from the list

Hello Martijn. I notice you've been trying to help out the user from the above IP who has posted unblock-en-l. I won't mention their name or organization. This is from a range that was blocked recently by HelloAnnyong per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Noisetier. It seems unlikely that the person on the list is the same as Noisetier, who appears to be a pusher of unusual views on certain articles about the Middle East. I think it would be OK to create an account for the person on the list. Is that OK with you? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 22:12, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, absolutely. Gmail has been a little weird for me recently, by splitting up some threads that clearly belong together, or marking some messages to a thread as spam, when they are clearly not, so if I broke a conversation in a weird way my apologies for that. In case it's a corp user (I can't quickly remember which one it was), I always try to clearly let them know that editing for corporations is difficult bordering to impossible, and point them to WP:COI, WP:NOSHARE and WP:CORPNAME beforehand. It seems unreasonable to, when they ask for an account, accommodate them without comment, and the moment they start editing covering them in the inevitable mountains of warnings for not following those guidelines. As a new member, I would take a polite unblock for a member of a corporation as an endorsement of corporate editing too. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:28, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
