June 2019 edit
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. MER-C 15:51, 28 June 2019 (UTC)Hello,
I would like to appeal the block that has been placed on my account. I have really enjoyed working on Wiki. I have genuine intentions here and truly like the way everything is setup. I created the account to become a member and exercise my writing skills, as well as contribute updated information to this database. I do understand that it's possible at somepoint I may have a shared IP with a blocked user; but there is no affiliation. I work out of shared office space in the city and its possible that someone else here has committed wiki violations using the same desktop or server connection. I want the ban lifted because I really do want to be an active participant in this community, and help to build pages that don't yet exist. I think there are lots of amazing people and social justice causes that deserve a wiki page and it is my hope to bring that content to you. I know I made a lot of small edits to begin and maybe that is suspicious, but I just wanted to be careful in the beginning. Im trying to learn and follow all the rules. Please do lift the block. I really want to be a part of this community :( --Katiesdesk03 (talk) 15:09, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- You need to add a block appeal by following the instructions in the box above. You need to explain your connections with Joeytoronto12 and Aaron O'Bryan. MER-C 19:17, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
I now understand the reason for the block and will explain - my friend and I decided to try wiki together and we thought our first page submitted had to be in the name of the article we were going to create. That was an innocent error on our part. The page was denied by wiki, we investigated, determined why (same name) and then Joey asked to convert the handle to his name so we could be accurate moving forward. This was just us trying to navigate the system and there was no malicious intent. I just picked a celebrity activist I knew and decided that would be our first attempt at page creating. I now understand how my conduct was connected to the block and it will not happen again. As you can see from my submissions I try to do everything wiki wants and Iam detailed when asked to clarify the description of changes I have made. I understand Wikis policy much more fluently now and this will not happen again. Id like to become a longtime member of the wiki community on this account.--Katiesdesk03 (talk) 23:34, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You appear to be admitting to a conflict of interest. You won't be unblocked to violate WP:COI, WP:PAID, or WP:PROMO. Now that you know you won't be writing about Aaron O'Bryan or any other subject area for which you have a conflict of interest, what are you interested in writing about instead?

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.

Request reason:
I do not have a conflict of interest with Aaron O'Bryan or any other LGBT activist. My intention on Wiki was and is to add influential people to the community. I have no direct connection to the page I created; it was Pride month in June and I was simply trying to add someone important to this directory Katiesdesk03 (talk) 16:37, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficiently convincing for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 18:23, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
