Request reason:

I have been blocked from editing the page Grant UK because my initial edit was seen to be too promotional. To clarify, I am not a paid advocate. I just noticed that Grant UK are a reputable brand that does not yet have a Wikipedia page. My wiki entry has now been stripped back and does not contain any promotional material, and all of the content on there is backed with sources. Please can you explain why I have been blocked from submitting this page? Valerieadams1 (talk) 14:10, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This account is not blocked. If you are unable to edit, please follow any instructions that appear when you attempt to edit. 331dot (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2024 (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.

This account is not blocked. Draft:Grant UK exists; it was created by the now-blocked account Joeworgan. Is that your account? 57.140.32.57 (talk) 14:34, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No not my account, I just noticed that someone tried uploading content for the same company but it was not published. Valerieadams1 (talk) 15:24, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried creating an article with the title 'Grant UK' but it comes up with an error message - 'You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: The account Joeworgan has been blocked (disabled) by 331dot for the following reason(s):

Using Wikipedia for spam or advertising purposes.

I am not connected with this joeworgan account. Valerieadams1 (talk) 08:41, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am unable to edit the Axelent Ltd draft page. Are you able to explain why this is the case? I am not connected with the subject, I would like to make amendments to the first draft. Valerieadams1 (talk) 09:20, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

After examining this, I think the similarities are not coincidental, so I'm going to block this account directly as a sock puppet. 331dot (talk) 11:52, 9 April 2024 (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.

Please place new comments at the bottom, so chronological order is maintained. This may be easier to do if you refrain from using the Reply feature(which is imperfect for several reasons) and instead click "edit" at the top of this page or in the section header. Regarding your request, your account has no block on it, and you edited the draft 17 minutes before making this request. What is the message that you see when you attempt to edit the draft? 331dot (talk) 09:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, when I look to publish a wikipedia submission for Axelent, I am shown this message;

'This account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia. This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages. The account ‪Joeworgan‬ has been blocked (disabled) by ‪331dot‬ for the following reason(s):

Using Wikipedia for spam or advertising purposes'

You are editing about the same topics as Joeworgan and seem to be on the same IP address(which is why you are seeing that message), and you also gamed the system to get autoconfirmed. What is your connection with the subjects of your edits? 331dot (talk) 10:50, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Grant UK (April 9)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 331dot was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Just summarizes the routine activities of the company; no summary of sources that describe what is notable about this company.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Grant UK and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
