Request reason:

Hello, I am requesting for this block to be removed as it is not a sockpuppet. The subject of this wikipedia page, Indra Dassanayake is deceased and as her only next of kin I, Vathsala Dassanayake, have been running this page. I am her only child. :Someone has created the original page (may be wiki it self) with incomplete information with minor mistakes. Upon coming across the page, I as the only child and next in kin to Indra Dassanayake, wanted to edit it as the wiki allowed me if I logged in. To do so, I created the user ID and password. Being new and not familiar with wiki, I made a mistake by creating two different user ID’s, because the first ID was not working for some reason. Therefore, I used 'Vathsala Dassanayake' to manage the page. After a few months, recently, I wanted to do some edits, including adding children's information and editing some information on her awards and education background. :As soon as I added the details on children tab, it warned me because, child’s name and the user name was the same. Even though I tried to delete the child's name it did not allow me. So, to avoid any issues, I logged out and re-logged in using Indra Dassanayake’s credentials. Then, edited the other areas, where it needed some information. Then logged out leaving the rest for the next day. However, the next day, when I logged in using Indra Dassanayake's credentials, I found it’s been blocked. :I apologise for the inconvenience caused by my actions. I did not intend to mislead the community or to violate the WiKipedia rules. Everything happened due to my limited knowledge. Could you please remove the blocking status and let me help the wiki community to have a better understanding about this acclaimed person; Professor emeritus Indra Dassanayake, and her exceptional work towards the world. I kindly request you to let me manage the page on behalf of late Prof Indra Dassanayake. :If having two user’s is an issue and against guidelines, please delete the username 'Vathsala Dassanayake' and leave 'Indra Dassanayake' for future needs. :I look forward to receiving your help in regards to this issue. :Thank you in advance for considering my appeal. :Written by Vathsala Dassanayake, only next of kin to the page owner

Decline reason:

Wikipedia doesn't have page owners. This unblock request raises serious WP:COI problems in addition to your abuse of multiple accounts. Yamla (talk) 19:46, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
