Hello, SMLwriter. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Louis DeJoy, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jonathunder (talk) 22:31, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 192.168.0.56. Place any further information here. SMLwriter (talk) 16:08, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I think that the IP address you are giving is that of your home network and not the one you are using to connect to the internet. That IP address should appear in the block message, or you can use whatismyIP to determine it. If you are using a VPN, you will need to turn it off in order to edit. 331dot (talk) 16:17, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

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.

Decline reason:

That IP address is not blocked. If you've recently been using a proxy or a vpn, you'll need to disable that and wait 24 hours before trying again. Yamla (talk) 18:47, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
