15:59, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Seeing as I’m not yet banned, I just wanted to interject after reading the latest, pompous, prejudicial and patronising contribution of my arresting officer @BrownHairedGirl.was the final nail. You're clearly here to promote Crean, which you have admitted. Continued disinterest in following community norms, guidelines. You're welcome to promote Crean elsewhere and if someone independent thinks more of your book is worth adding, they'll do so. I'll note that indefinite is not necessarily forever, however at this time you're clearly not interested in editing productively. Star Mississippi 16:00, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am here to enhance, improve and add to the article about Tom Crean (Explorer) and to add articles about other people of interest. I had an issue with the abrasive, disrespectful and offensive replies of an editor who judged that neither my own research or the publisher of a biography I wrote, were deemed worthy of using as sources of reference for the article. Neither of these assumptions are true. If the editor in question, @ BrownHairedGirl ceases to interact with me on Wikipedia then, having declared a COI on the subject matter, I will help editor/s to improve the article, the subject matter of which I am an expert authority on. When that project is complete I will then proceed to add further article about other people who I believe should have a page dedicated to their lives. Timfoley50 ( talk) 17:59, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I realise you have declared your CoI since long. Yet, I would like to please confirm that you have read WP:COI and WP:PAID and will follow all guidelines and policies that may be relevantly applicable to you. You have financial gains from this topic. You are encouraged to use our standard paid/coi templates to ensure editors realise your CoI clearly. More importantly, will you confirm that you will not edit articles related to this topic but will only contribute in discussions on talk pages? I reiterate, this is just to reinforce the community's confidence in something you have already followed to a large extent. Thank you, Lourdes 08:39, 4 July 2023 (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.
I was not promoting a book and was promoting the man, I retracted this to state I wished to 'preserve his story'is still promotion. You have an open unblock request to which another administrator will respond and if they agree with your request, you might be unblocked. My block has nothing to do another editor's opinion of you, but rather your conduct, which you're continuing here. You might also find WP:EXPERTS worth reading, specifically:
Wikipedia has no formal structure with which to determine whether an editor is a subject-matter expert, and does not grant users privileges based on expertise; what matters in Wikipedia is what you do, not who you are. Previously published reliable sources, not Wikipedia editors, have authority for the content of this encyclopedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Star Mississippi ( talk • contribs) 18:26, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
I had an issue with the abrasive, disrespectful and offensive replies of an editor who judged that neither my own research or the publisher of a biography I wrote, were deemed worthy of using as sources of reference for the article.
it has been published by a reputable, long established publisher whose portfolio of publications have long been considered a reliable source of information and which you have now attempted to discredit.
"general books imprint, Merrion Press, created to develop our publishing to include more popular and accessible titles distinct from the typical academic projection of the IAP format". In other words, Tim Foley's own publishers consider his book to be "popular and accessible" rather than scholarly.
attempt to discreditIrish Academic Press is a grotesque distortion of my words. I am disgusted at being so wildly misrepresented. @ Star Mississippi: is it acceptable for a blocked user to use their talk page to publish clear falsehoods about another editor? BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 21:27, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
besmirching the standing of a highly-regarded publisheris utterly false. I hold IAP in high regard.
@ Smirkybec has reported [2] at WP:ANI that Timfoley50 has been WP:canvassing both on- and off-wiki in ways which had not been previously reported. Smirkybec linked to two tweets:
I stand by my description of this as a "promotional campaign". -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 18:03, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Wiki buddyof Smirkybec is false, and provably false.
It boggles the mind how a simple bronze star on an article can get otherwise rational editors to bend over backwards and lose all sense of reason. It relies predominantly on two memoirs published a century ago, a bunch of random webpages and a book published by a company that describes its central promise as a "passion for the commercial", and yet it is your efforts that get torn apart by your "patronising control freaks" who know nothing about writing content (yes I can say that: I have two more FA's/FL's— soon to be three—than everyone else in that discussion combined). If only they had devoted a fraction of the time they themselves wasted accusing you of various things—none of which, Star Mississippi, were worthy of your indefinite (????????) block—perhaps they could have recognised the faults in the article. But no, much easier to bite, sealion and bring out the mop. I can only offer you my sympathies, Tim, and my apologies for not being able to stop this lunacy.

Hi Tim,
Your statement "I challenge you to repeat these falsehoods outside of your protective space where you won't have licence to say just about anything you wish without some form of legal consequence."
is a
Legal threat. I am revoking your talk page access here to ensure you don't repeat it, as per procedure. Thank you,

Hello. Last month the community became aware that the administrator, User:Lourdes, who blocked your access to your user talk page, had been editing in violation of a ban on a previous account. Several administrators (including myself) have looked through some of Lourdes more consequential blocks to determine if they were blocks that a reasonable administrator would have made. We determined that Lourdes's imposition of the "no legal threat" block shortcircuited the discussion around the initial block. We wonder if we can reconcile the differences in opinion and move past this issue for you to possibly regain your editing privilege on Wikipedia. I have lifted the restriction around your ability to edit your talk page so that you can participate in this conversation. OhanaUnited Talk page 20:35, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
