 * Please don't remove declined unblock requests, as the next reviewing admin will need to see them. As I say, please tell us *exactly* what the block message says, or we can't help - or do you expect us to be able to guess what the other account is?

 * Actually, are you trying to tell us that the other account is User:Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism? That was blocked more than a year ago. Anyway, you will need to tell us the *full and exact message* you get when you try to edit. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:44, 13 July 2017 (UTC)


 * So were you trying to edit logged in as User:Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism? (just reply below and indent it with a ":", no need to make a new unblock request). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:53, 13 July 2017 (UTC)


 * No, I was trying to edit as Elena Harris. I had logged into that account on this computer earlier but found it was blocked because they had thought the account was plagiarising (it wasn't)
 * OK, the problem is that if you are logged in as User:Elena Harris, you should be seeing a lot more than the message "Editing from Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism has been blocked (disabled) by Jimfbleak for the following reason(s):...". Does it say anything before that? What is it? We need the *entire* message. I suspect it includes an IP address, something of the format 12.34.56.250, yes? We need to know that number. (As I said above, if you do not want to reveal the number, please use WP:UTRS). Oh, and don't put brackets round your replies either - as I said, just indent using colons (":").

 * Here is every piece of text in the message telling me I can't edit.

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them.

Editing from Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism has been blocked (disabled) by Jimfbleak for the following reason(s):

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked. If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. This block has been set to expire: no expiry set.

Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.
 * OK, I'm surprised, as I'd only expect that to happen to someone logged in as User:Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism. If someone using the same IP but a different account tried to edit, I'd expect something extra along the lines of "Editing from IP address (xx.xx.xx.xxx) is blocked because that IP has been used by Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism..." and then the rest of the message above. I might have to leave this for someone else to review, but I'll ask a couple of obvious questions first (which I was going to ask anyway)...
 * Is User:Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism also your account, and have you ever used it for editing here?
 * If not, is the User:Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism account operated by someone you know?

 * Yes, I did use that account earlier today and tried to edit but found it was blocked. I didn't make it myself but know the person who did. I've just tried getting onto this account on another computer and it seemed to be letting me edit things, so I think it is an IP address thing but the error message didn't mention it
 * OK, I'm afraid I have no explanation for why the IP wasn't mentioned, sorry - I'll leave this for another admin to review. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:10, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
