I tried to edit a page and I got a notification that my IP has been blocked. I am using an Internet cafe and i was told there is no VPN installed.

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 197.210.71.129. I'm working from a public domain using the internet cafe. So I'm wondering why my IP is blocked. Please kindly look in to this

Thanks for your review princess Ara.
I have edited the article to make it neutral. This change makes the article more objective and less exaggerated. I have also removed peacock words found. All the reference links cited are credible and reliable sources in Nigeria and others are government websites. Semilore90 (talk) 19:17, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Ola Oresanya, 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:

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.

Thank you.
I don't have any personal relationship with Ola Oresanya. Neither am I paid to publish this article.
I declared COI for the article i was paid on my User page, Which is Demola Banjo and it's not for Ola Oresanya.
I have tried as much as possible to comply with all Wikipedia rules with regards to the article creation for a living person Semilore90 (talk) 12:22, 23 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your review @Jamiebuba
I have made some corrections to the article and also requested for help through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IRC_help_disclaimer. Some people there were kind enough to make some corrections and other suggestions.
The following changes have been made to the article to improve its neutrality:
The promotional tone of the article has been removed.
The article now presents a more balanced view of Oresanya's career, including both his successes and his challenges.
The article now uses more neutral language, avoiding subjective statements and opinions.

I have redirected this to the earlier, rejected draft. Please do not create duplicates. Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:46, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the previous Draft was rejected after submission, which means I cant resubmit it again for review after making some changes and added more references to the article.
That is why I created a new article and resubmitted after many some corrections to it.
The policy does not forbid me from submitting another article if the first one is rejected right? Especially after making significant changes to the article.
Please I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. Do i need to delete the previous draft that was rejected before creating a new one? Semilore90 (talk) 15:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Significant changes or not, the first draft was rejected for lack of notability, which means the sources cited do not satisfy the WP:GNG standard. The same 32 references were used in the second draft, so in that respect there were no changes. And no, you cannot keep creating more copies of what is essentially the same draft, that can be regarded as an attempt to game the system. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:48, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I am nit trying to game the system.
The mistake was that after the draft was rejected, I kept editing the rejected draft by adding more reference links to it before creating a new draft. Since it was rejected and i can't re-submit it for review, I didn't know it would still be referred to. That's is why the old draft and new one looked exactly the same.
That was my mistake. Can I delete the old draft? Semilore90 (talk) 16:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Semilore90, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Semilore90|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Can you please explain why you are so keen to create an article on Ola(dimeji) Oresanya? Thank you. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:48, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am not being directly or indirectly compensated to create this article. I declared that while creating the draft. Ola Oresanya is a highly respected Environmentalist in Nigeria with over 30 years of working and consulting for governments in Nigeria. I feel he deserves a Wikipedia article, this is not to promote him or his achievements.
I have read many wikipedia pages, i have contributed and edited many wiki pages and I also read through the criteria for creating a wikipedia page for a living person and he meets many of the checklists.
My desire is to improve as an editor and contributor wo wikipedia page, this is the reason why I am interested in successfully publishing this article. I have spent several days doing research and creating this article, i don't want all the efforts to go to waste.
My greatest joy is to improve as an editor and contributor to Wikipedia. Semilore90 (talk) 15:36, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
