 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.


 * Looking at your edits, I'm willing to accept that you were attempting to edit in good faith. Could you pick an existing article and write (below) a paragraph that would add to it, along with two suitable sources - so I can check your understanding. Any unblock would also come with prohibitions on editing anything linked to either your blog or your workplace. Nosebagbear (talk) 23:50, 14 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you, it is appreciated. Could you clarify what you mean by "anything linked to my blog or workplace"? Do you mean any subjects that are related to them, or editing pages that mention my blog or workplace? My blog covers the history of martial arts and fencing, and my work touches on the whole of Canadian history, so if it's anything related I not going to be able to contribute a whole lot.

 * @Grisier there's no flawless scope answer I can give here, so I'll attempt to provide some brightlines and warnings: obviously don't provide any links that will go to the blog, and don't edit around any blog links or the content tied to it anywhere on the site. Don't edit about your workplace or articles specifically on what you do as a job. To give a deliberately not relevant example, if your job was axe-throwing at ACME corp, don't write about axe-throwing or ACME corp.
 * I would use the edit request wizard for what would feel like the most core articles of the blog (such as the one you edited or the Stick-fighting article), if not prohibited by the above. I don't see a need for any restrictions on the Canadian history aspects, and the majority of martial arts and fencing related articles should also be fine.
 * Where unsure, either "don't" or ask an admin to clarify. The rules at the top are somewhat stricter than our base ones, so could be reduced after some months of normal editing (they'd move to the "request edit" category). Nosebagbear (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood. Thank you! Grisier (talk) 01:11, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Please provide a suitable demonstration sourced paragraph per my original comment so I can review Nosebagbear (talk) 17:19, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in following up. Personal events stopped me from being able to do so. Here is the edit as requested. This is taken from the article on Klingenthal, Bas-Rhin, which can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingenthal,_Bas-Rhin
 * Original : In 1838 Klingenthal ended weapons manufacturing, lost the Royal Manufactory status, and became a privately owned company producing civilian goods under the "Coulaux" name. The company continued producing agricultural tools, notably scythes, until production ceased in 1962.
 * Edited to: The French government closed down the weapon production in 1836, and sold it through auction in 1838 (1). The Coulaux brothers, who had long managed the manufacture, bought the site and began operating it as a fully private business. The manufacture continued to produce edged weapons until 1930, even helping the newly created Chatellerault manufacture when the latter couldn’t produce swords quickly enough.
 * Although many of its former employees had left for Chatellerault, the Coulaux company rehires some of them to continue its production. It also starts to diversify its lineup by introducing scythes and fencing foils, both of which will be produced until 1962. Although Coulaux could no longer sell weapons to the French State, it could still sell its products to military officers, since the latter were responsible for acquiring their own equipment. (2)

 * (2)Appel, Pierre (1957) Le Klingenthal et sa Manufacture d’armes blanches, histoire d’un village alsacie, Colmar, Éditions de l’Académie d’Alsace, p. 33
 * Reason for edit: Corrected the date of the end of weapon production in Klingenthal and including further details on the production following the sale of the State property.
 * Let me know if this is suitable. Grisier (talk) 00:07, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
