Request reason:

The content we submitted resembles what we have posted on the "About" page of the journal because there are only so many ways you can say when a journal was founded, who publishes it, where the funding is coming from, etc. The journal is "Published by the National Foreign Language Resource Center at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (Honolulu, HI, U.S.A.)" through a Creative Commons License (BY-NC-ND). The title of the journal linked to the journal page and the wikidata information on the journal. If that was too much information that closely resembles what we state in the About page, we can certainly make it closer in content to something like the Foreign Language Annals page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Language_Annals). In any case, I cannot fix that if I am blocked, which I thought was a rather extreme measure on top of rejecting the page and deleting the content that had multiple links to wikidata that are not present on our About page.

Decline reason:

You were blocked under out conflict of interest policy, we do not allow people to write about themselves. In addition you repeatedly refer to yourself in the plural. We do not allow shared accounts. For these reason I cannot unblock this account right now. HighInBC ^{Need help? Just ask.} 08:53, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

Thank you for your explanation. I would like to clarify that I am the only one doing the edits. The email I use is my work email and I am the only person with access to the account that suggested the page. I used "we" because the academic journal I wrote about does not belong to me. It's an open publication run by a group of volunteers pretty much like Wikipedia. My intent was to add a Wikipedia page that documents this journal because of its unique value to the fields of Applied Linguistics and Technology and Second Language Acquisition. So I am baffled by the idea that I am writing about myself. I am also surprised that instead of providing guidance to improve the initial submission, the response was to block the contributor. To summarize: 1. I do not have or intend to have a shared account so you can have my assurance that that policy was not violated; 2. the article I submitted was about a leading academic journal so I did not write about myself. Since Wikipedia allows a commercial journal to have its presence, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Language_Annals, I assumed a publicly free journal that ranked #1 open journal in the world would have been something to document in Wikipedia. Apologies I'm editing this again but I just realized the block says "undisclosed paid editor." I am not paid to run the journal. The journal is run with support from the United States Department of Education and the University of Hawaii. I am not a journal editor or reviewer. Juliohawaii (talk) 20:04, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You appear to have a conflict of interest here, though it's not immediately clear. See WP:COI. As to other pages, you've provided no indication that those articles were written by people with a conflict of interest. Yamla (talk) 11:39, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
