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

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
• 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; and
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
• Provide a new username.

To do this, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

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|reason=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. Secretlondon (talk) 20:48, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Requested username:

Request reason:

I understand why I was blocked and the reasons to change username. I was under the impression the username had to match the company I work for to create a company page. My intention for editing is only to support historical facts and create a company page like many others. I do not intend to promote, my only intention is to create a page of factual information and historical facts on spring manufacturing in America. I also thought the code I added as a paid employee was correct. moving forward I will make sure I am within all guidelines per Wikipedia support articles.

Decline reason:

You only added a portion of the paid editing disclosure coding(I think you're just missing the brackets). We don't have "company pages" here. We have articles about companies, typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves, their own history, and what they do- that's what your company website and social media are for. Wikipedia articles about companies should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. We want to know what others say about the company, not what it says about itself. That other articles exist does not mean that they meet current guidelines- it only means that they haven't been addressed by a volunteer. You won't be unblocked to make edits for which you have a conflict of interest(at least in the short term). If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you want to edit about topics for which you have no conflict of interest in the short term, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:25, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
