@331dot: FYI, unblocked following ticket:2023082310008758. User does appear to have a COI with Sharon Tay and has been warned about COI editing. @Sharontayofficial: for reference, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest outlines the expectations of dealing with most conflict situations. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:51, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not Sharon Tay, shouldn't they change their username? 331dot (talk) 18:59, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot did you read the ticket? — xaosflux ^Talk 20:55, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have that level of access. 331dot (talk) 22:27, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot ah ok, in that ticket this user presented real-name info to match this real name. — xaosflux ^Talk 09:00, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was my understanding that "X name official" accounts were not permitted because of the potential for shared use and the fact that they are operated by representatives and not the named person themselves(typically). 331dot (talk) 09:04, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot hmm, if you (or anyone else) wants to block again based on that go ahead. The ticket contains reasonable information that this account is controlled by that that person, and they are the only person using it. Realistically, I doubt this account is going to ever edit again as they only seem interested in the article about themselves and have been told not to directly edit it. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:34, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay, I'm just trying to understand what's happened. No worries. 331dot (talk) 15:36, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
