I am happy not to write on Keith Bothongo for at least 1 week if that is okay with you while I gather relevant independent sources for you. I feel I have been unfairly blocked on this matter and would like to raise this on appeal. I request that my block please be removed. I am happy to write about topics around South Africa, Durban and other topics within my knowledge scope. These include amongst others Travel, Tourism, Film, TV, Entertainment, Arts, Theatre etc. If you are okay with this then I will only edit the Bothongo article in 1 week and try to gather independent sources. I feel he is worthy of having a Wikipedia article as he is quite inspiring for the youth of South Africa who long to hear about successful entrepreneurs. @Falconfw Falconfw (talk) 19:46, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * 1 week is nowhere near sufficient. There are literally millions of other articles, why are you so focused on Keith Bothongo? That's deeply concerning. I would not support an unblock with such a restriction, but would consider one based on 6 months and 1000 non-trivial article edits, whichever came last. --Yamla (talk) 20:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks,, that sounds thoroughly sensible. I would normally support it without hesitation, but there have been so many economies with the truth here that I feel we should also expect some clear statement from Falconfw that he/she does fully understand and intend to respect our Terms of Use from now on. Acknowledgement of past failure to respect them might not be a bad thing either. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:36, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

The reason being I have spent a great deal of time on this article and I feel it is worthy of being looked at for another time. I am happy to wait 6 months and or 1000 non-trivial edits, whichever comes last. I now request that you please unblock me. Falconfw (talk) 20:34, 8 August 2019 (UTC) @Falconfw

Thank you for your feedback. I would like to hereby state that I intend to respect the Terms of Use of Wikipedia from now on. I would like to apologize if you feel I have failed to respect them. I now request that you please unblock me. Falconfw (talk) 20:48, 8 August 2019 (UTC) @Falconfw

unblock discussion
Hi there. In answer to your questions: My friend is Sarah and she knows Mr Bothongo and feels he is now a notable person. I have no reltionship with Keith Bothongo. I have no relation to Gareth Michael McGuire. That name probably comes from an email that was sent to Wikipedia commons. They requested a copyright letter from the photographer who took a picture of Mr Bothongo. I had to ask the photographer to send in a copyright release form. I do not work in marketing and communications. @Falconfw Falconfw (talk) 15:21, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That being the case, perhaps you would agree to not editing about Keith Bothongo? What other subjects might you write about?-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 17:10, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

I would be happy to write about subjects that deal with South Africa, Africa, Technology, Tourism and Entertainment amongst others. Please can you assist with helping to unblock this account. Falconfw (talk) 14:04, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
