Hello Erasmus Sydney. With this edit you modified the archive of the AN3 noticeboard. There is seldom any reason to edit an archive. Could you undo your change and make the same request on my talk page? Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 15:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:
This block is unnecessary. As can be seen from all the source pages for these uploaded images, they all come published under the required creative commons licence. I can now see that argument @ Nick-D: is making, and, in that regard, I thank the administrator. I need to find the original source of the images and whether they were made under creative commons licence. I am upset by the language used in this statement above. I find it unkind to have motivation attributed to my actions, that I am "motivated by an utter disregard for copyright rules." If I may speak for myself, I can say I am motivated by a desire to have clearer information about the world I care about on wikipedia, which, I hope all can see, includes biographies of important figures in Australian history and contemporary political life, from both sides. I know what motivates me. I like to assume good faith wherever I can. I can see I have made an error. I am not an expert in copyright law, and I can see that, something that looked really easy to do, was actually a mistake. I have taken this opportunity to become more familiar with both the law and the policies on copyright. I am very sad about the tone of aggression in this matter. It's completely un-needed. A note pointing out the error would have been more than sufficient. Erasmus Sydney ( talk) 00:17, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Unfortunately, as copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, we must take copyright violations seriously. You will need to demonstrate your understanding of copyright and when and how copyrighted content can be used on Wikipedia before unblocking you. 331dot ( talk) 08:37, 25 May 2021 (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.
From following up further on some of the images, I am also concerned about the Andrew Hastie article. You have edited this article very heavily (adding 53% of the edits and 61% of the content ever added there), and long-running concerns have been raised on the talk page about this material being balanced towards the subject. From looking at some of the edits, I tend to agree. I also note that you have uploaded images to Commons under ORTS releases and then added some to the article which can only have been taken by people closely associated with Hastie. In particular, File:Rep Mike Gallagher with Andrew Hastie standing with statue of Sir David Stirling at Campbell Barracks in Western Australia on 10 August 2019.jpg was apparently taken at Campbell Barracks, which as the headquarters of the secretive Special Air Service Regiment is most definitely not open to the public, and I am surprised that anyone was able to take photos there. Other photos depict Mr Hastie in his parliamentary offices or conducting electoral and parliamentary business, and are typical of PR-type images of politicians. I think it's safe to say as a result that these images must have been taken by members of Mr Hastie's staff and/or other people with an association with him. The photos you have uploaded are credited to multiple photographers which demonstrates that you are in contact with multiple people associated with Mr Hastie. Taken together, this indicates that you have a relationship of some kind with Mr Hastie and/or his office and/or other associates of him. Can you please tell me where you disclosed this relationship as part of editing the Hastie article as required by WP:COI? Nick-D ( talk) 11:01, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

I think that the above unblock requests do not sufficiently address this editor's actions in arguing that this account and The Little Platoon ( talk · contribs) were unrelated at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/The Little Platoon/Archive#09 October 2020 - in particular, this comment. Similarly, they also argued that what proved to be justified concerns were "harassment" at User talk:The Little Platoon. Moreover, based on what they have disclosed to me by email and above, any unblock would need to be subject to a condition that they do not edit articles on Australian politics, broadly defined, given that they have a COI with this issue that they have not successfully managed. In particular, The Erasmus Sydney account has been used to make a number of edits on topics with which the Little Platoon had a declared COI that were sympathetic to one side of Australian politics. Nick-D ( talk) 10:02, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
Just some comments which I hope make the conditions under which I will agree to an unblock clear:
