 This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing,  because it has been used to evade blocks on one or more other accounts. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock. To do so, first read the guide to appealing blocks, and then add the text to the bottom of the talk page of your original account. JBW (talk) 11:53, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

I have read your email. Please post any further messages relating to Wikipedia editing here, rather than in an email, unless there is something to be said which must be kept confidential, which is not so in this case. I am not sure what further information you want other than that which I gave in the block log reason, which you have certainly seen, as you emailed me a link to it. If you can tell me more precisely what further information you want then I will try to answer you. JBW (talk) 11:51, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Well, I didn't even bother to use zerogpt: it's blindingly obvious that this was wasn't written by a human being who understands the reasons for the block. JBW (talk) 11:43, 1 February 2024 (UTC)


 * That unblock request looks as though it was written by a human being, but it does not show any understanding at all of the reason for the block. To help you, I invite you to answer the following questions:
 * 1) Where did you get the texts that you posted into the draft which you created?
 * 2) Who is paying you, or is expected to pay you, for creating a Wikipedia article? (To avoid a very common misunderstanding, you are paid to create the article if doing so forms part of work for which you are paid, whether there is a specific sum designated for the Wikipedia part of the work or not. So, for example, if you are contracted to do online publicity for a client, and as part of that work you create a Wikipedia article, then you are being paid to do so.)

JWB It was definately written by a human being sir, thanks for the invite to answear your questions
 * 1) The texts were handled to me by the the content creators/assistants of the public figure I wrote about.
 * 2) Yes 100% sir, I will be paid for the publication of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LWANSTAR (talk • contribs) 13:57, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for those answers. They confirm what I thought was the situation, but it is helpful to know for certain. The problem is that you have been contracted to re-create material which has been posted before and deleted. Previous accounts used for the purpose have been blocked from editing, and the people who have engaged you to do the work are attempting to use you to evade the effect of those blocks. You personally were probably acting in good faith, but what you were engaged to do is contrary to Wikipedia's policies, and I am confident that no administrator will unblock you so that you can continue to do the same. If you would like to start making other kinds of contributions to the encyclopaedia then you may like to ask to be allowed to do so, but if you aren't interested in doing so then Wikipedia is not the right place for you.

Which topics do you want to edit, if unblocked? PhilKnight (talk) 22:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

User:PhilKnight Well to name a few - Technology, Arts, Society, Politics, Sports, Health, Environment, Popular Culture and Miscellaneous.

Can I also assist public figures on creating their pages or I will only be allowed to edit after the unblock?
 * If you want to "assist public figures" that then treads into conflict of interest and/or paid editing territory. 331dot (talk) 12:28, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

User:331dot Thanks for the information, all noted.

Dear User:JBW and admins.

Thank you for your detailed response. In order to clarify any confusion from my side can you please confirm some questions I have:

1. A new page for Tebogo Mogashoa needs to be drafted for approval through the Paid Publishing process.

2. Can I personally upload the latest Draft?

3. Concerning the actual content of the Draft for Tebogo Mogashoa are you able to confirm whether this falls within the Wikipedia policy and guidelines or whether the content of the Draft still needs to be revised. It is important for me to fully understand the procedures outlined by the Wikipedia moderators for the creation of paid articles and the review process. I would be most grateful if you can provide further feedback on the above. The initial draft was supposed to be a paid publish and not a community publish. This is where I was wrong. I trust that you understand it was never my intention to breach any Wikipedia rules and guidelines. And would like to thank you for advising me the correct process and route to follow. Thank you for your time in this matter,


 * Meh. Pretty cynical about this, but I'll ask anyway. OK to unblock? I cannot decline again. Any condtions need edfor unblocking?&#45;- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:20, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, as I said above, probably LWANSTAR was editing in good faith, and although I haven't gone back and re-read every edit to refresh my memory, I suppose it's likely that I wouldn't have blocked if it hadn't been for the fact that he was being used by someone else to help evade a block. That being so, I'll remove the block.
 * LWANSTAR, please be sure that you stick closely to the guideline on conflict of interest, to avoid being blocked again. JBW (talk) 19:03, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

@User:Deepfriedokra @User:JBW thank you, the unblock is much appreciated I will make sure I comply with the guidelines this time around.
