Request reason:
I have repeated edited a number of pages that were being left uncreated or incorrect. Today I was creating pages for the coaching staff. Division 1 coaches are an elite group and there are entire pages dedicated to assistants like them. /info/en/?search=List_of_current_NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_coaches I wrote factually and simply. I corrected my previous copyright errors. If I need to promise to avoid topics of relevance to Texas State, then ok. I spoke with SshibumXZ about my previous errors. I was not trying to re-create to cause an issue. It was an error on my part. I was not trying to waste anyone's time. FBS coaches are notable. Several of them have received verified blue checks from Twitter due to similar notability checks. Americanfootballupdater ( talk) 01:18, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You haven't explained how your edits would be different if we unblocked you. Also note, Twitter verified checks don't establish WP:NOTE. Yamla ( talk) 11:56, 17 February 2018 (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.

Request reason:
I would like to become a productive member of WikiProject College Football because of my interest there. I will avoid topics related to my employer to avoid a COI, especially when it comes to pages for persons. I have already been educated on my errors on copyright. I am here to make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia and I am frustrated by the assumption without response that I am not. Americanfootballupdater (talk) 13:59, 17 February 2018 (UTC) @Yamla: Since you were the administrator that confirmed my indefinite block, I want to reach out to you and ask for leniency. I made copyright, COI, and notability errors that I acknowledge. I seek to help improve the encyclopedia and not act in self-interest or promotional activity. When I initially created the posts, I did copy the website bio and added coaching history boxes. Those were deleted for copyright infringement. After talking to the user that submitted it for deletion, I tried to repost and paraphrase. I obviously did not change enough and was again hit with quick deletion. I made a last attempt that removed all of the information from their university bios and truly put it all in my own words. An IP user then asked that I be blocked for my activity. I was not trying to be a nuisance or cause issues. I thought I was fixing my issues. I do work at the university that I was editing about, and I understand the possible COI. I can leave others to create those biographies. I mistakenly thought that those coaches "ought to have a page" but I did not adequately understand WP:NCOLLATH. I do now and that will not be an issue. I would like to work on stubs and in other capacities to add value to the encyclopedia.Americanfootballupdater (talk) 15:21, 19 February 2018 (UTC) As I note below, there are specific pages in the College Football WikiProject that I could assist on, like the incorrect App St one that I reference. I was previously editing pages related to the history of Texas State football that I was doing research for the university. When I tried to create pages for several coaches, I did not think that they were not notable enough. Through my use of the encyclopedia, I believed that FBS assistant coaches qualified. And though I understand the COI because I worked at the university, several of my pages that I created have been since linked to others, adding more robustness to Wikipedia. Prior to my creating pages and doing research about the history and early beginnings of the program here, even the university itself had multiple errors in the media guide. Information provided by cfbwarehouse and other websites dedicated to the long past were incorrect, mainly confusing the high school San Marcos Baptist Academy (formerly San Marcos Academy) and Texas State University (Southwest Texas State Normal School located in San Marcos). In the 1900s and 1910s, it was routine for colleges and high schools to play one another. I proved through newspaper articles at the time and school yearbooks that there were errors elsewhere on the web. I enjoy digging through history and would like to be able to add to this resource.
