Request reason:

Please unblock. I have only written a legitimate article about a commercial entity. If there are any areas that are not compliant, please flag and remove those. Joel Martins 15:59, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

No. Your article was clearly in violation of WP:PROMO as well as WP:COI and WP:PAID. You won't be unblocked to write about Tuhkana Swimwear. If there's another topic you wish to write about, something for which you have no conflict of interest, please specify what that is and convince us you understand why your existing edits were inappropriate.

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.

With all due respect Yamla, how can you say that it's "clearly in violation of" those 3 guidelines? What proof do you have to say that? I've had a wikipedia account for years, why would I start monetizing it now? If anything, I can see why you're considering it too commercial, I can agree with that, and that's why in my original request I asked for guidelines on how to make it compliant. Can you please provide more context and reconsider the block? Thanks. Joel Martins 22:07, 29 December 2018 (UTC)Reply


Tuhkana Swimwear edit

Hi MER-C. I appreciate your diligence and continuous support here. However, your removal of Tuhkana Swimwear's article doesn't seem fair as it was created as a legitimate article about a commercial entity. Can you please help and provide feedback on what areas of the article were not compliant? Looking at Keel and Onia I don't seem to find were these articles are more compliant than the one I created for Tuhkana Swimwear. Looking forward to getting your feedback to work towards a more relevant article. Thanks and happy new year! Joel Martins 16:14, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

UTRS 46184 edit

User is requesting unblock at. UTRS appeal #46184. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:13, 1 August 2021 (UTC) Declined in favor of open request on talk page. The one here needs to be amended to address my concerns expressed at UTRS. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:28, 1 August 2021 (UTC)Reply


I honestly don't understand what else you need me to say in order to get unblocked. Tuhkana Swimwear is owned by my wife and I only added its information because I honestly thought it would be relevant. I understand the reason why I have been blocked and have been trying to simply say that the block is no longer necessary. My main goal is to make useful contributions to the platform, respecting the guidelines and policies. Joel Martins 19:09, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

I wanted to update Luckin Coffee's location count that is incorrectly stated. Based on their most recent Form 20-F, it should be updated to 3,949 self-operated stores, 1,175 partnership stores and 556 Luckin Coffee EXPRESS machines.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. 331dot (talk) 09:27, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
