Request reason:
Your reason here Casablancas17 (talk) 18:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Once your account is blocked, you must appeal that block to continue editing. You must not create new accounts to try to get around that block. As you've discovered, it generally doesn't work, and it makes us even more suspicious that you're a spammer-for-hire. Ordinary people make unblock requests; spammers create legions of accounts to evade our policies. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:25, 16 December 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.

My Wikipedia Account (Casablancas17) was blocked due to being a sockpuppet of TexasRanger6 by Moderator Yamia. Whilst it is true that I created an alternate account when my initial account (TexasRanger6) was blocked, I do not believe this block is logical given the sequenceo of events which has transpired. To clarify, a timeline of proceedings is as follows:
1. My initial Wikipedia page (the first I have ever created) 'Warwick Economics Summit' was declined due to not meeting Wikipedia' criteria of neutrality. As this was my first Wikipedia article, I was not fully aware of these criteria before submitting my draft. My account was also blocked due to a perceived conflict of interest in the name.
To clarify - I am not connected or employed by the Warwick Economics Summit- the original account name was created because I intended to edit the article relating to the topic, not because I have a formal link to this organisation. I am not paid by WES. It seems this entire disagreement emanated from this initial reason, which I believe is erroneous as I do not have an employment with this organisation and have fully complied with the content guidelines (independent, variety of independent sources etc) for hte article. Moreover, the name 'WESWarwick' was created by my another user (I had been using a shared Wikipedia account initially) and I had created a new username (Casablancas17) to indicate
2. I created a new account Casablancas17 and edited the Wikipedia article Warwick Economics Summit, fully adhering to Wikipedia's declared criteria of neutrality, using a range of independent sources to support the article and straying away from opinions. Despite my article being very similar to 'The St Gallen Economics Symposium' a Wikipedia article which was allowed, my article was blocked.
3. The moderator Yamia blocked my account Casablancas17 again for sockpuppetry.
Once more, I am not connected to the Warwick Economics Summit- the original account name was created because I intended to edit the article relating to the topic, not because I have a formal link to this organisation. I am not paid by WES.
I had fully improved the article 'Warwick Economics Summit' in line with Wiki guidelines and there is no evident bias in the article content itself (note: the latest version of the article has been deleted so I cannot post it here, and I accept that the 1st version was questionable - but as this was my 1st Wikipedia article this is understandable.
. I believe my article is being intentionallyrejected obstinately due to this initial issue of perceived 'conflict of interest' despite the fact I am not connected to WES, and any attempt to remedy the issue is being blocked by moderator: Yamia. I believe my article content (which should be the heart of any argument) is neutral and well-cited, hence I would like to dispute the article deletion and my account block. I am not intending to spam or violate any other Wikipedia policies.
I do not understand how I, someone not connected to WES, should not be able to edit the Warwick Economics Summit article- by this reasoning- no one would be able to edit the page as any attempts to edit the source material are viewed as sock puppetry- despite the fact that 1. the article topic (Warwick Economics Summit) is a valid subject of an article and 2. is content-wise similar in tone and subject-matter to another student-run summit- the St Gallen Symposium- which has been approved. Presumably, someone was able to edit that page succesfully.
I understand and accept that Wikipedia places a very high standard on its articles to prevent fraud, promotional content, etc, but I believe I should at least be granted the chance to submit a revised draft of this article Warwick Economics Summit to the moderators as I do not have a formal conflict of interest (not paid for or employed by the Warwick Economics summit). I should clarify I was a previous student of the university, but I do not have any ties and am willing to put my article to the test of Wikipedia moderators should I be unblocked.

Request reason:
The Unblock request response mentions i should appeal the block on my original account, however this is a paradox. To edit the Wikipedia page Warwick Economics Summit, I was informed that my username was too similar and thus I am unable to edit the page Warwick Economics Summit regardless of if my username was changed on the original account. For this reason, and to clarify i am not connected with WES, I created a new account. If you are asking that I should appeal the block on the original account, which I had already done, how would I ever make a change to the page Warwick Economics Summit (a page which I-do-not- have a conflict of interestw with? As this original account is not able to edit this page regardless of any appeal attempts? It seems like you are neither allowing me to edit the Warwick Economics Page on the original account, without reading my appeal rationale, due to a conflict of interest which is nonexistent, without allowing me to edit the page on a completely separate account as well. So essentially, there is not way this page can be edited whatsoever- even if it is by someone not connected to the page? Casablancas17 (talk) 19:33, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

I have shut down talk page access here. You should be making your request over at User talk:TexasRanger6. There, it'll be more clear that you were told in no uncertain terms not to set up another account. You will also want to exactly specify your relationship with the University of Warwick because you do have a conflict of interest there (or have been lying about the copyright status of the images you uploaded, placing the entire project in jeopardy). Another administrator will be along shortly to review the block of this account. They may choose to reenable your talk page access here if they decline the block. --Yamla (talk) 20:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
