Request reason:

Asking to unblock my account for editing. I admit that I was involved in WP:CONFLICT creating an article Draft:Karolina_Geits, but it was not a paid contribution. In my opinion this article was created in accordance with the rules of neutral point of view and notability. Sorry, if I wrong. I realized my mistake and I'm going to modify the article according to the rules, and disclose COI according to WP:DISCLOSE. Other articles I created have no complaints. Also you can look thought my contribs — it is clear. Thank you. The7bab (talk) 20:09, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I don't believe that you just know this person(in part due to evidence I cannot reveal). I don't see a pathway forward here, so I am declining your request. You may attempt to convince someone else with another request. 331dot (talk) 07:30, 25 July 2021 (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.

What is the nature of your conflict of interest? 331dot (talk) 23:38, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A person I know well. Getting familiar with russian celebrities and entrepreneurs working in the USA, I was asked to check, If the person meets the notability criteria. If so, then help with creating a neutral point of view article. The7bab (talk) 05:50, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

From what I saw when looking at the deleted article, I cannot accept the explanation given, and am declining this unblock request. Girth Summit _(blether) 22:07, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: is that evidence that can't be provided to other users/reviewing admins, in which case any appeal should logically be remanded to Oversight/Arbcom along with the relevant information, or evidence that you believe that not even the blocked individual should have access to, which I believe is a function that only T&S should be executing? Nosebagbear (talk) 00:34, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I will email you. 331dot (talk) 00:37, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
331dot, Nosebagbear - this has been hanging a couple of weeks now. I'm minded to decline on the grounds that I don't buy the 'someone I know' story, but wanted to check with you to see your views. Happy to receive thoughts by e-mail if preferred. Girth Summit _(blether) 21:51, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Girth Summit: the evidence sent to me was certainly sufficient to disprove their request in my eyes. I still remain unsure on this being the way to handle it (which is why I didn't close) - though I guess should The7bab want to confirm the evidence against them they could also email 331dot themselves. I would note that the non-private evidence, to me, would not have been sufficient for me to decline the appeal on those grounds - it would just be in that messy gray bubble, but the private evidence is more than enough. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:00, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nosebagbear Thanks. You and I must have different thresholds! From looking at the deleted article, I'm sufficiently unconvinced by the unblock request to decline this. Happy to explain why by e-mail if you like, won't put it here per WP:BEANS. Hope you're well, best Girth Summit _(blether) 22:07, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Girth Summit:, @Nosebagbear:, @331dot: can I please look for the evidences you are talking about? Someone can email me. I feel like I'm in a strange situation, and want to share the circumstances, but I don't even know, what kind of horrible details are you discussing. In my request I told the truth: I know the person and agreed to help with the article. Should I note in request that it was WP:PROMOTION even if it is not truth? The7bab (talk) 07:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What Wikipedia considers to be promotion may not necessarily be what you consider to be promotion. We want you to tell the truth and not lie, but that truth needs to be in the context of Wikipedia guidelines. Promotion on Wikipedia is just merely telling about someone and what they do, you don't have to be trying to get them work. You will need to go into detail about how you "know" the person and came to write about them. 331dot (talk) 07:22, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen any evidence aside from your editing here. If you want another admin to review, you can request unblock again, but I'd advise you to make an undertaking not to write about that subject in future, and only to write about subjects you are entirely unconnected with. Girth Summit _(blether) 07:25, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the clarifications, they are quite detailed. I will make every effort to ensure that no further rules are violated. The7bab (talk) 14:43, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello! Asking to unblock my account. Study carefully all the materials of my case and discussed with the moderators, I realized my mistake. Even if I know somebody, this is not a reason to create an article and work for this person. I understand that according to rules this is a promotion and conflict of interest. In the future, I'm not going to write on this subject, not going to write about smth or smb I connected with. Thank you. The7bab (talk) 01:35, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I'm assuming good faith and unblocking. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:10, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
