{{unblock|reason=I know CHH artists and collaborators personally}
I was blocked for not citing sources that should be common knowldge based on tweets and Instagram posts made public by rapper Lecrae. I have edited pages before with the knowledge given to me by many of those musicians via text message, phone call, DM, or even face to face conversation. I can’t cite that as a source. The fact that I was blocked because I know these things and have explained myself on numerous occasions and because I posted something out of context two years ago is asinine.

I would like to keep editing, but the tyrannical actions of Walter Görlitz and user Coffee keep me from helping Wikipedia readers be exposed to the correct information. The information may have been directly gotten from billing and crediting, but it could still be wrong. Humans are not without error. Only Christ Himself was.

Unblock Walter Görlitz and Coffee

You have the time to comment FlightTime on what I was not blocked for but not to try and help find sources I could credit when I had information that was not citeable. Tell me how cite a source that is a DM, text message, phone call, or in person conversation, and then you won’t get the “bizzare” edits you all have been getting when I add something I found out from a specific person.

 * You can't. All those situations fall under WP:OR and is not acceptable content in an Encyclopedia. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 18:57, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Unblock
And anyways, I didn’t say I was blocked because of what was listed by FlightTime. I said it didn’t take away from a Wikipedia reader’s experience and give them misinformation like what is often cited because most Christian Music users don’t have the connections like I do to the music industry and the musicians themselves.

There was no terms of use violation
KainanJoubert (talk) 01:13, 25 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I think you'll need to explain how you are "bound by certain contractual information to not reveal your sources". Why would you be bound by such a contract if it doesn't involve compensation of some kind? (As was pointed out to you, information based on such unrevealable sources, or on unpublished or unreliable sources, violates Wikipedia's policy on verifability and has no place on Wikipedia.) Huon (talk) 02:51, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Coffee, beyond that strange "contract" comment I see no indication of paid editing and, after some Google sleuthing, would consider it unlikely. Is there any evidence I'm unaware of? Otherwise I'd unblock, with a reminder to KainanJoubert to base future edits (including typo corrections when that typo itself is based on a source!) on reliable published sources. Huon (talk) 19:34, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Help me out then, Walter
Walter Görlitz Well then review my latest unblock request and at least try and help me. You're edits on my page originally are what sparkedCoffee to block me unfairly. You requested that I add the sources, and I responded that I couldn't because I have to find the tweets, which will take at least a day to do, and he blocked me and accused me of taking paid contributions to publish propaganda when all I was doing was putting Perfekt's birth name correctly, credit Tony Evans and Ekemini Uwan, and fix the John Mitchell link. That is the wrong John Mitchell. The John Mitchell you are looking for is at this link: https://soundcloud.com/johnny_yukon

John "Johnny Yukon" Mitchell is employed as a songwriter for DJ Frank E and previously worked with Lecrae on his song "On My Own" with Leon Bridges. He worked with G-Eazy on a song earlier this year. The page that was linked to the name is technically misinformation.

Help me plead my case. I didn't take any money to edit these pages. I would just start my own CHH encyclopedia and make money. I wouldn't feed the public false facts and fake news. That's tyrannical. Please converse with the admins, Walter. Also, my old post about "white people" was old. I apologize for posting that in my arrogance and ignorance when I was much younger.

Let's Clear This Up Misunderstanding Swiftly and Peacefully
jpgordon would you like to speak over the phone after Christmas in order to clear up this misunderstanding? I have your phone number and am willing to speak with you via a recorded phone call so I can plead my case that way. I'm only 18, so there is no threat. If you want to give me punishment, you could put the expiration time of my suspension until January 01, 2018.
 * I didn't block you. I declined to unblock you as your request did not bear on the reason for your unblock. I've no further interest in your case. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 05:30, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Notice of noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:52, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

In response to Huon
None of the contracts I am bound by involve monetary payment Huon. Most are verbal contracts that are between me and the specific artist or collaborator that I won't reveal any personal information of those musicians or collaborators, just the information I was given if they are my friends. The rest are done through me reporting and doing A&R work to give indie musicians proper credit that they already got paid for. I am in no way benefiting from this financially. That's why I have a job and a business myself. I know when a number of projects in the Christian Hip-Hop realm are releasing over the next year, but I can't divulge who told me what. The only way it would be a contract involving payment would be if I was one of the following.


 * songwriter
 * record producer
 * recording engineer
 * mastering engineer
 * mixing engineer
 * paid intern

I am a musician myself, but none of my monetary contracts involve my contributions to the intellectual community here at Wikipedia.
 * Please read WP:Paid. Money need not change hands. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so information must meet WP:V and WP:RS.  If they are friends, you have a WP:COI. If you are helping out your friends, we are probably pack into WP:PAID. We really don't want and cannot use information given to you by your friends-- see WP:V and WP:RS. My personal take is that you are WP:Nothere. Other admins opinions may vary. Not formally declining block so as to have further input. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:45, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * If you cannot cite who your published, third party sources are, your information cannot be verified and therefore it can not be included on Wikipedia, paid or unpaid. Wikipedia includes content on the basis of verifiability, not truth. "My friends told me" is pretty much the very definition of original research. - The Bushranger One ping only 03:47, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I apologize if I've got the wrong idea, but I have come away with the notion you've mistaken us for Hush-Hush. Nothing here on the "QT", please. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:57, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, looking back at your first unblock request: Wikipedia is a privately-run website; there are no violations of "free speech" or "First Amendment rights" when you are blocked. See WP:FREESPEECH. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:04, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Respone
Huon

I understand what I did wrong. If my block is lifted, I will not use information given by my friends via private conversation any longer.

Some of the changes I made were typos like “Wesley Jams” being changed to “Jamal Wesley James” on the Lecrae album page for All Things Work Together. That was something knew off the top of my head after researching for a period of time and asking who was who. I vow to find credible sources if my block is lifted.

No money or payment was ever involved in any of my conversations or edits or contributions. I apologize if my words about contractual agreements and my ties to the music industry caused any confusion or discord. KainanJoubert (talk) 19:14, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Disregard my original unblock request
The Bushranger

My original request for unblock was rushed and done out of anger. I didn’t know why exactly I was blocked, so I assumed it was for my errors in citing sources on a few articles, not the editing for compensation accusation based on my words aimed at Walter Görlitz.

The last unblock request was done after reading the Terms of Use for editors and contributors and reading all responses to my posts. I again apolgize for the confusion and having you all doing this on Christmas of all days. KainanJoubert (talk) 19:19, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Dlohcierekim
Dlohcierekim

I read through the Wikipedia Nothere link you posted.

My intentions were only to fix errors and provide basic information from a position that is not from a fanatic music listener. This doesn’t give me brownie points or favor with anyone because I could be doing something else with my time, but I would often choose to add factual information that I thought was vital to many of the articles I contributed to.

Most of my recent sources have been reading through album and song credits on specific music posts such as on soundcloud and Youtube artist pages (which the credits are listed in the descriptions for the media posts), but I have been sloppy in the way I had been editing by mot always citing the credible sources I had found to verify my assumptions. I acknowledge that issue and will correct that error in the future and only make contributions that can be verifiable with credible sources. KainanJoubert (talk) 19:28, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

So y’all not gon’ unblock me?
Coffee can you unblock me now that everything has been clarified? Also, Walter Görlitz, the page about Natalie Lauren has incorrect information. The photo and the name of her employers are not correct. KainanJoubert (talk) 18:54, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

SQL
JPgordon put his name and the city he is from on his user page. You can find someone’s hometown and even their phone number in public records. I’m 18 years old. The notion that a grown man is threatened by that is silly. Phone books and friends across the country still exist. I’ve find my grandparents’ information online. Plus, Coffee blocked me. They have yet to respond at all after my unblock request has been reviewed by Huon and a few other admin I have dialogued with and pleaded my case to and they said it was a misunderstanding because of my contract comment, which was just that future info about albums I can’t reveal unless it’s revealed with a citable source. My edits without adding a citation was a one time incident as my phone doesn’t allow multiple tabs to be open. KainanJoubert (talk) 14:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * This page hadn't been edited by an admin in nearly 2 weeks - hence my close. If or  would like to unblock you, they still can - this request will simply no longer be listed at CAT:RFU (Unless / until you make another request). And do yourself a favor - drop the "I can't believe you feel threatened by an 18 year old" shtick. It's ridiculous on it's face.  SQL Query me!  02:06, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Just got back online here in the states. Thank you for handling this as promptly as you could. And thank you KainanJoubert for clarifying your statement. It is highly appreciated. &mdash; Coffee  //  have a ☕️ //  beans  // 08:32, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
