Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Knoel Scott. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Tonetrade. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 17:17, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

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. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 22:28, 24 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I have globally renamed 'Tonetrade' to 'Harlesdenbop'. Another admin will review your unblock request. Just Chilling (talk) 21:29, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Many thanks Just Chilling Harlesdenbop (talk) 13:13, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

something like an amicus brief
I hope any admin reviewing the above unblock request will take the following into account. I believe the entirety of the AfD discussion here should be considered when deciding whether / when to unblock Harlesdenbop. I had never heard of Knoel Scott before this AfD, unlike, but I share 's concern about WP giving undue weight to more recently-debuting musicians in other genres. I'm hoping that will be unblocked and allowed to share (on the article's talk page) information from magazines that he has access to which haven't been digitized; I agree that editing the article directly would be a problem, but this is one of the reason we have talk pages. I have worked with a number of COI editors so that Wikipedia could have new articles which began improperly remain on the site in conformance with our policies, and I would be more than happy to do so again in this instance.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 22:53, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Many Thanks for the support Harlesdenbop (talk) 23:59, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

I just noticed that my entry for Knoel Scott was accepted and it's now a keep. Now that the conflicting post has been approved, I would like to be given the chance to present those extra clippings from magazines and newspapers which are not available online. I wouldn't amend the article directly, as it has proven a bad choice before, but perhaps I would take the offer by to help with the edit. I hope admin will unblock me so that I can keep contributing on Wikipedia Harlesdenbop (talk) 12:18, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello, . In order to be unblocked, you must place  at the bottom of your talk page; further instructions for how to format your request can be found at the guide to appealing blocks. An administrator will not act on your unblock request if it does not use the unblock template. Good luck! — GrammarFascist   contribs talk 12:42, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This user already posted an unblock request above 15 days ago. Please, do not confuse him. Do you agree with unblocking? It seams that this user understands the issue now and is not willing to edit the article directly.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  09:29, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * My bad,, I thought that the unblock request above had been declined (but the name change request approved) due to Harlesdenbop not clearly stating they would no longer edit the Knoel Scott article directly in their original request, and that a new request was thus needed. Thanks for the clarification. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 13:07, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm fine with unblocking. Seems like everything that needed to be cleared up is, I see no particular cause for concern at this time. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 16:17, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
