Request reason:

A block was initially issued by User:Daniel Case due to a false COI allegation that I was connected to Buffalo ReUse upon my creation of its page. Since that time, the co-founder of Buffalo ReUse User:Kevin Hayes confirmed I am not tied to the organization and did not author the page on their behalf. Admin User:Star Mississippi then suggested I appeal to an uninvolved administrator to have my block lifted. Before I could do that, User:GPL93 (who I've had problems with in the past with Wikipedia:hounding) moved a new article I created (Erie County Democratic Committee) to draftspace and had Daniel Case block me from the article, citing the disproven COI allegation. There is currently a discussion on the Administrators' Noticeboard I opened to look into GPL93's conduct. Looking forward to moving past this - thank you for your time!

Decline reason:

I was considering declining this as stale, but after reviewing this request, the discussion below, and the block log, I'm left with WP:NOTTHEM concerns. While the unblock request is mostly about the refutation of a COI allegation, COI is not listed in the block log as part of the block's reasoning, and appears to have been noted only in passing by the blocking admin. The block log notes personal attacks and disruptive editing. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:34, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
