- Can you please stop witch hunting me? Frankincense Diala (talk) 20:13, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Are you the only reviewer on Wikipedia? Frankincense Diala (talk) 20:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Frankincense Diala When you submit a draft for a review you must expect a review to be given. It is usual to take the advice in the review.
- Regrettably, your draft had so many faults that it made me look at your other work, both here and on Wikimedia Commons, where I found other failings. It would be remiss of me not to flag those failings. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- APPEAL TO BE UNBLOCKED
- I truly feel sorry for the mess I have caused. I understand I was blocked because of my unruly behavior with an impression of a WP:PAID and WP:COI impression, but I never meant it to be so, and I am not a paid editor. I am just a novice, kind of a newbie trying to be better, and I am sorry. I will be more careful next time if unblocked. I promise not to let the reasons for this blockage repeat itself. I sincerely apologize.
- Moreso, my conduct is not intended to be disruptive or cause any damage whatsoever. For this again, I sincerely apologize and promise not to let the reason for being blocked repeat itself.Frankincense Diala (talk) 07:57, 25 August 2024 (UTC)}}

Hello Frankincense Diala. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Frankincense Diala. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Frankincense Diala|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- You are mistaken that I am being compensated for this edit. Please that's not true. You are getting it all wrong. You can do better by being more of a helper. Frankincense Diala (talk) 18:33, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the answer to this simple question, one that every editor may be asked at some time in their editing career. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:53, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- You are welcome. Futhermore, Permit me to refer you to the citations, especially the ones under Publications and Awards/Honors, on the Adeleke article, you will see they are from reliable sources (I believe you know Nigerian authority sites well). Media sites like Vanguard is even on Wikipedia. I wish you help me push it to main space. Thank you in anticipation. Frankincense Diala (talk) 19:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Please attend to the multitude of problems in the draft. By telling you about them I have helped you. You wish it to be an article, so you have to do the work. The reviewer's job ends at the review. We are to accept it if we believe it has a better than 50% chance of surviving an immediate deletion process. I do not believe it in the case of your draft, so I have declined it with substantial advice. I don't much care if you ignore the advice, but your doing to in a blatant manner is irritating and I have expressed my irritation in a further review. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:08, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm DoubleGrazing. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 20:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on User talk:Timtrent. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 22:16, 6 July 2024 (UT

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. Drmies (talk) 00:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)- Also I noticed my article on Vicky Sylvester Mnguember have been moved to draft. Please and please and please and please. I plead with you all on this, to tamper justice with mercy, because the punishment. Some of us don't have a thick heart. This might cause one into depression. So I plea you lessen my punishment by moving back my first ever article to be published back to main space, as that was a boost and motivation to me as a passionate editor and contributor in the Wiki Space. This is a humble plea. I won't do it again, it won't repeat itself, whatever has caused this. I'm still a learner in the Wiki Space. I am willing to learn more. I'm sorry please.

Frankincense Diala (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I appeal to be unblocked because I understand why I was blocked, and promise never to do it again, and will make productive contributions instead. Moreso, my conduct is not intended to be disruptive or cause any damage whatsoever. For this I sincerely apologize and promise not to let the reason for being blocked repeat itself again. Frankincense Diala (talk) 01:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This is a very general statement that does not address the reason for the block, or the specific concerns described below that you are an undisclosed paid editor. See WP:PAID and WP:COI. If you are, now's the time to say so. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
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.
- Prior to considering removing or shortening this block, the admin considering this should look at the conversations I have had with this editor and review of one draft and draftification of another, related draft, coupled with the repeated breaches of copyright on Commons for which they received a short acting educational and preventative block. Evidence shows them to be only here to advertise a person and an organisation, and otherwise not here to build an encyclopaedia, resorting at times to perosnal attacks. They also display a lack of willingness to listen to advice. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 06:11, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Apology on behalf of the User I acknowledged that the user has been rude in their approach and as well defensive, this is not following the policy of 'Accepting good faith', however, They are in the sober mood for the mess they have caused already. I will impoly you to please pardon and overlook their shortcomings cc: 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦
I am reaching out of good faith and being a member of their community. In my language,we would say 'Ẹ̀jẹ̀ Ebure' Meaning that 'You don't take offense'. Thank you Tesleemah 20:14,19 August, 2024 (UTC)
I am very sorry, please forgive me for my actions and inactions. I now understand I was blocked because I gave a WP:PAID and WP:COI impression, as well disregard for reviewers but I never took it to heart, and I am not paid for my write ups. I am just a novice, kind of a newbie trying to be better but I just realized I went about it the wrong way. I am very sorry. I will be more careful next time whenever I am unblocked. I promise not to let the reasons for this blockage repeat itself. To @everyone, I sincerely apologize. Thank you in anticipation to a favourable reply.
- Please do not email me. I do not respond to blandishments by email. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- If it takes your being blocked to "I just realized I went about it the wrong way." then it makes me wonder whether you are ever likely to be a collegial editor. The behaviour, while not irredeemable, has been questionable, to put it mildly. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
