Discussion

 * I am reasonably confident that per TSB 6 and 7, this qualifies for speedy approval/meets the requirements. -- The SandDoctor Talk 05:13, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm confused as to why a blocked user warrants removal from a COI category.— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 14:06, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Per the source code of Template:Uw-coi-username (for future proofing, as of Special:Diff/923967359) "THE FOLLOWING TWO CATEGORIES (down to ***) SHOULD BE REMOVED WHEN THE USER IS BLOCKED, OR IT IS DECIDED THE NAME DOES NOT APPEAR TO VIOLATE POLICY, OR THIS TEMPLATE HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE WITH NO ACTION.". After that, it then lists the COI category I am proposing as one of the two. -- The SandDoctor Talk 14:17, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * alright, let's do a quick test.— CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 14:20, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention that I modified the description a few minutes ago to include locked users. Their exclusion was an oversight on my part last night. Still good to proceed with the trial? (Just want to clarify as I forgot to mention and the change is subtle). -- The SandDoctor Talk 14:22, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , I've raised the trial to 50 edits. — CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 14:23, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Accidentally made 51 edits, my apologies. contribs. -- The SandDoctor Talk 15:15, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , You violated the terms of the trial. BOT DENIED. ;p — CYBERPOWER  ( Chat ) 15:16, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I also linked the wrong diff section. :P is the correct one. -- The SandDoctor  Talk 15:16, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
