Request reason:
I understand reason I was blocked and will correct it. I was updating the information on the page with the correct names of the Firm's current leadership names, new office locations and new judiciary information. I was also updating information on some of the awards the Firm has received. Some of that information was already there via other sources, so I was updating it to be current and correct. I understand from reading your guidelines that you do not want promotional information, so I will refrain from including that information in the future. I was not paid to edit this page. I am employed by the Firm, however, and therefore knew of the updated leadership names, office information, etc. I would appreciate it if my account could be unblocked so that I could continue to edit this page with correct information when it is required. I will not include promotional information. Thank you for your consideration.
Decline reason:
If you are an employee, that is considered to be a paid editing relationship, you don't have to be specifically directed to edit Wikipedia. You must comply with the paid editing policy as well as the more general conflict of interest policy. You won't be unblocked to continue to edit about the firm. If you want to be a general, individual contributor, you will need to agree to not edit about anything related to your conflict of interest and tell what you will edit about instead. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 21:04, 19 November 2019 (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.
- Thank you for your response to my request to unblock. I would like to comply with the Paid Editing Policy and Conflict of Interest Policy but find I am unable to add a user page as directed in the instructions because I am blocked. How may I comply with this policy? Thank you. Rdelavan (talk) 15:16, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- As you are just asking a question, I have removed the unblock request formatting from your statement(subsequent comments do not need to be formatted as unblock requests). You can just agree to comply with the policies once unblocked; you are welcome to make a new unblock request detailing what topics you want to edit about; as I indicated, you won't be unblocked to edit about your firm at least in the short term, but if you want to be an individual, general Wikipedia contributor, please make a new request. 331dot (talk) 15:21, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your quick response. So I think I understand that I cannot choose to comply with the policy until I am unblocked. There is an inaccuracy on the Riker Danzig page, in that a judge that is listed has passed away. I now cannot make that edit now since I am blocked and I doubt anyone else will care to research that fact and update the information. How do we address this inaccuracy? Also, I am very happy to remove any information that is deemed "advertising" or "promotional" on our page so that we can get rid of the warning notices at the top of the page. It is not clear to me which information that is since I did not create the page -- I do not know who did but I only updated the page with correct leadership information and office information and judiciary updates. How can we get rid of the warning notices? Thank you for your consideration. Rdelavan (talk) 15:42, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- If you wish, you may comply with the paid editing policy on this page, but most people in your position do so once they are unblocked. If you are unblocked, you may make edit requests on the article talk page detailing any changes you feel are needed- but you must be unblocked first, as I note above. I've made a few edits to the article just now. You are welcome to make a new unblock request. If you do, someone else will review it(for fairness). 331dot (talk) 16:25, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- As for the maintenance tags(what you called 'warning notices'), they can be removed when the issues are addressed. As you have a conflict of interest, you shouldn't be the one to remove the tags- but if you make an edit request that addresses the concerns in the tags which is carried out by an independent editor, that editor will remove the tags. 331dot (talk) 16:27, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for making some edits which perhaps address some of the concerns regarding promotional language. Since you have done so, is it appropriate for you to remove the maintenance tags? Also, I would like to request an edit as to the deceased person (William Hughes), but I cannot make an edit request until I am unblocked, so this is not possible. I will request another unblock for someone to review. Thank you again for your courtesies in answering my questions and concerns.

Request reason:
I would like to request that I be unblocked. I would like to have the ability to request edits to the Firm page, and I cannot request edits until I am unblocked. I will not make edits myself, and will comply with the paid editing and conflict of interest policies. (One of the people noted in our Firm history has passed away and we would like to be able to have this information updated on the page.) I believe that the issues on our page have been addressed with some edits made by User:331dot and would also like to request that the maintenance tags be removed. Thank you for your consideration.

Decline reason:
Per Deepfriedokra: I am not at all convinced that you are here to contribute to the general encyclopedia and that you still place your company's interest above that of Wikipedia. MER-C 09:33, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Unblock discussion[edit]
I'm uncomfortable about unblocking without a topic ban on Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland & Perretti. User seems agreeable to not editing the article directly, but I still sense an intensity of interest that might preclude even talk page suggestions. (Our page. The urgent desire to remove an article maintenance tag.) I would also like the user to relate [[WP:42|the content of this page to past an present editing. I would like user to describe what non COI edits they might make. Of course, any other admin should feel free to unblock w/o discussing with me if they feel comfortable doing so. -- Deepfriedokra 21:40, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your response. I will not edit the Riker Danzig page in the future. The only edits I made were because I saw that it was out of date. I am not sure what it means to "relate [[WP:42|the content of this page to past an present editing." I have not made edits to any other page, so there is no past editing, if that is the question posed. I would only like to be able to request changes via the talk page when I see information that is incorrect or out of date. Please let me know if I can provide any additional clarification. Thank you for your consideration. Rdelavan (talk) 16:03, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
