November 2021[edit]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely 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 name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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. Kinu t/c 20:04, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I have not been compensated, I am just trying to correct wrong information on my now deceased friend of mines wikipedia page. I understand the reason for the block of me editing from the page and will not spam in the future. I intend to make the minor corrections on the page and then I will be all finished.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.
Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 14:03, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

One unblock open at a time please. — Daniel Case (talk) 20:38, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Neil Hirsch[edit]

Hello. I can see that you mean well and that you might wish to make corrections to your deceased friend's Wikipedia article. However, doing so under the username "BlackWatchPolo" where Hirsch was a patron gives the impression of a significant conflict of interest and is not allowed as per Wikipedia's username policy. In good faith, I believe you when you say that "I intend to make the minor corrections on the page and then I will be all finished." If you are willing to specify exactly what it is that is incorrect in Hirsch's article, and if you can provide me with reliable sources to corroborate those claims, I will make those changes for you. Let me know if I can help. — The Most Comfortable Chair 18:39, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
