User talk:Hstakast
is closed. User is clearly a WP:sock puppet and, if the unverified UTRS ticket is from them, is an undeclared paid editor. Paid editing is not against the rules if the user reads and heeds WP:PAID. If this is actually the same person as the sock master, user should request unblocking on that account. In any event, user will not be unblocked to make promotional edits. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:04, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- How do I give proof that I am not a sock puppet? Is there a way for me to retrieve my account back? Hstakast (talk) 03:58, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I previously created a account to create an article, and I didn't realize it was prohibited to upload the same article with multiple accounts. It was my mistake not reading the Wikipedia guidelines beforehand. I have read the guidelines on editing and creating articles as well as on how to respond to blocked and deleted articles. If my account is given the second chance, I would like to use this experience to educate myself and others on Wikipedia guidelines as well as contribute and edit articles on Korean content.
Decline reason:
No thanks. Nothing here convinces me you'd contribute appropriately. It looks like you simply plan to continue spamming articles on Korean scientists. Yamla (talk) 10:38, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I have read articles on writing biographies, on what conflict of interest means, on paid contributions, and on how to edit sources as well. I understand I had previously written the same article from a different account and posted the same article through a new account, not realizing this was prohibited and was enough reason to get my account blocked. I respectfully request to unblock my account, as I will now take more caution in posting not only about scientists but other topics. I also take this opportunity to say that I am not in any way related to the people I'm posting about and I will follow the guidelines to make sure I comply with the paid contributions guidelines. Please kindly reconsider my request.Hstakast (talk) 10:14, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You will not be unblocked to make promotional edits. I am not convinced you are not a paid editor. I am declining your request. PhilKnight (talk) 13:04, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I recently joined an event-planning startup in Korea which organizes domestic and international conferences in the medical and scientific fields. There are 4 of us in the company, and I was recruited as the translator/interpreter as no one else speaks English in the company. Then during one of our events, I read a scientific journal introducing world-renowned scientists, and I proposed an idea to the company to post articles about a few scientists, as I didn't seem to find any Wikipedia page on them despite their contributions. My boss thought it was a good idea and I created an account under the name KJ커뮤니케이션, to represent our company and posted 2 articles, which I researched and gathered information from Korean websites and articles. It was rejected due to a conflict of interest, in which an admin stated it lacked objectivity. I did not quite understand and I had not read the guidelines until then. I proceeded to open my personal account and upload the same article, not knowing this was a violation of role accounts, sockpuppetry, paid contribution, and lacking in objective posts. I wanted to delete the KJ account because I created it in my current company while having a personal account, but I learned it was forbidden due to license issues, so I read the whole guidelines and asked the English Wikipedia Help Community as well. I fully disclose that this is a paid contribution, and my employer is the CEO of a event-planning startup in Korea. I regret committing sockputtery, posting the same articles from different accounts, but neither of the accounts I'm holding were role accounts. I am the only one with access, and it will remain so. I kindly request that my request to unblock my account be reviewed. Hstakast (talk) 09:04, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
