User talk:RWMIF

February 2022

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.

Requested username:

RWMIF (talk · account availability check · rename user)

Request reason:

I created this username (Mo Ibrahim Foundation) without realising that it violated the guidelines. Thanks for flagging that, it's my first time attempting to edit Wikipedia. I am Robert Watkinson, the Director of Communications at the Mo Ibrahim Foundation. I would like to make some factual updates to Mo Ibrahim's page and several other pages relating to the Foundation, as these are currently incorrect or out of date. Thank you, and please let me know if I can provide any further information about who I am and what I am seeking to do to ensure that these Wikipedia pages are accurate and complete.
