 * No need for multiple unblock requests! I just replaced the blanked unblock request I had denied, because you aren't allowed to remove those. And I fixed your unblock request so another admin will see it and investigate! Don't worry, another admin will likely be along shortly to review. --Yamla (talk) 16:45, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Ok, thanks.

JamesBWatson, you are the blocking admin here. I declined the first unblock request but the subsequent request is significantly more convincing. I always mention WP:ROPE in cases like this, only here, I'm pretty sure there won't be a problem. Given that the block was six years ago, what do you think? --Yamla (talk) 22:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I absolutely agree, so I am going to lift the block. Thanks for drawing this to my attention. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:56, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Can I delete all the stuff on the talk page now? It's messing with my OCD on clutter. :)  Also, do I need to say I'm a Sarpino's Franchisee on my User Page if I want to up date the Sarpino's Pizzeria page... or on the talk part of that page?
 * You are only obligated to keep declined unblock requests for currently active blocks. Restating, that means you are free to clear this page. WP:COI covers how to disclose a conflict of interest. You should place the notification on your user page. You are also best off to suggest edits, on the article's talk page, rather than editing the article directly. --Yamla (talk) 17:47, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

{Waiting to hear back, if you can take a look at my note on Sarpino's above and make changes that would be good. Since I'm not able to. You can go to gosarpinos.com and use find my location to verify the current locations. There isn't really a source for the internal hierarchy of Sarpino's USA but I have inside knowledge on Dmitry and David. They were a bit yin/yang before Dmitry got sick.

Also, I've been digging around more trying to remember why I was blocked. I first started contributing in 2009 when I was doing some brain development research and saw something I thought would be helpful to contribute. I don't think it ever made it anywhere. Then was on but not editing until 2012 when a colleague was having some problems and pretty upset with it. Part of the issue, I think, is that everything is set up here in a way that isn't very trusting. The autoblock for instance you can see that if someone with a shared IP address which is pretty common for large companies tries to create an account they are blocked if there was someone blocked at the same company. Given some of the names I see for users in the auto block feed, I understand there are a lot of disruptive people out there. When I logged in in 2012, however, I was trying to see why my colleague felt they were being bullied and pretty quickly felt I was attacked also because out of the gate I was accused of a lot of really weird terms (sockpuppet/meatpuppet) and being the same person, etc. I think within 24 hours of singing back in I was blocked with a block that was indefinite. The entire process seemed pretty defeating and if you read some of those old posts it was pretty clear I was a gnat and others were all powerful and even when I was asked to do XYZ to be unblocked and I did those things, I see 6 years later I'm still blocked. The reason listed is disruptive editing, however, when I go to that link and read the 6 types of disruptive editing, I don't see where I was doing that, maybe I was but I just don't recall it and can't see it in what is left of the logs. I also saw how to handle disruptive editors and it seems that the process has more steps than a indefinite block within 24 hours. There should be mediation, warnings, temporary blocks and then only if there is an account that is only for disruptive edits is it to be indefinitely blocked. As noted, I rarely make edits... 2009, 2012, attempted in 2018, so not an account for disruptive editing. I remember back then feeling pretty clear that no matter what there wasn't any getting through, however, when I logged back in now I didn't expect to see the block still active. Since it is, is there someone else I can talk to about getting this removed? Goodbyz (talk) 21:17, 1 February 2018 (UTC) }
