[edit]
If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 05:32, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hello, I was unaware of the Organization FAQ when making the article. I also did not realize that Publish would submit the page for official review to placed on the site - since I was unable to find the save button. Can you please point out to me where I am advertising the organization versus speaking neutrally about its existence. Thank you! Sadiecollective (talk) 05:45, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You have not proposed a new username as instructed; your username must indicate that this account is operated by a specific individual(your real name is not required). Regarding the block, merely telling about the existence of the organization is considered promotional here. Wikipedia articles must do more; they must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the definition of a notable organization). Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject might want to say about itself. You also seem to have a conflict of interest in editing about the organization and could be a paid editor. You won't be unblocked to continue to directly edit about this organization; if you want to be a general, individual Wikipedia contributor and edit about subjects unrelated to your conflict of interest, please tell what those are; I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 11:03, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
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.
I will add that "Publish changes" is equivalent to "save changes"; it does not mean 'publish your changes to the actual encyclopedia'. The change from 'save changes' was made for legal reasons, to indicate to editors that their edits will be visible to the public(but not necessarily part of the encyclopedia). All edits to all pages (sandboxes, drafts, articles) are visible in the Recent Changes feed, which is monitored by thousands of editors. That's likely how your edits were seen. 331dot (talk) 11:03, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
Decline reason:
Someone else will review your request, but are you saying that you are not employed by the organization or have no financial relationship at all with it? Please review WP:PAID carefully before you answer. You don't have to have been specifically paid to edit about the organization to trigger the required disclosures. 331dot (talk) 15:57, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- I would add that being 'paid' is not limited to cash money, but any compensation whatsoever(including unpaid internships). 331dot (talk) 16:01, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hello! Okay. I have read the documents and I understand why editing the page is a conflict of interest. I erroneously assumed that creating a page for the organization that I am apart of was fine to do, but having read the documents that you have shared with me - I now understand why editing the page led to the block. How can I move forward at this time since I cannot/should not be the one creating and/or editing the page? Also the block was triggered by self-promotion, not any form of payment. Thank you!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sadiecollective (talkcontribs)
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) 11:50, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

- The block may have occurred due to promotion, but the paid editing disclosure is a Wikipedia Terms of Use requirement for paid editors and you can't be unblocked unless you agree to make the required disclosure. You ask what is required to move forward- since you won't be unblocked to edit about your organization, you will need to tell what you intend to edit about instead that is unrelated to your conflict of interest. You might later be permitted to indirectly edit about the organization, if you are interested in being a general contributor and develop a good edit history that shows you understand what goes into Wikipedia articles. Beyond that, however, I will leave things for the next reviewer who will offer their own advice on how to proceed. 331dot (talk) 18:36, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
Great. I understand and I agree to make the required disclosure. Will this page be deleted and/or banned?
Decline reason:
Only one open unblock request at a time, please. SQLQuery me! 05:15, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Sadiecollective/sandbox
[edit]
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Sadiecollective/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. @echo off 05:33, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
Sockpuppet investigation
[edit]
An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sadiecollective, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
