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 follow all these steps:
- 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, insert 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. DanCherek (talk) 12:24, 28 June 2024 (UTC)- I am very sorry for violating the Wikipedia editorial policy. It was not my intention - I didn't fully inform myself of the requirements before attempting to update the page. I do work for Bowmans. Now that I understand what is required I will limit my edits to providing factual updates/ corrections.
- The username I request is my name: Alice Andersson. If it is not available, then I would like to request Alice M Andersson

Requested username:
Request reason:
- Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement: I am employed by Bowmans and receive a monthly salary in compensation. My role is to manage external communications including what is said about Bowmans online.
- 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. I understand that the reason I was blocked is because (a) I created a user name that implies that the company is updating the information and (b) I published promotional information in the form of a company profile on the page.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked. I intend updating factual information about Bowman Gilfillan including the number of lawyers, number of employees, the name of the chairman and senior partner, updated information on the firm including the fact that it now has an office in Namibia. I would like to remove reference to the matter on the page because it is so outdated.
- Provide a new username. Alice M Andersson Bowmans Law (talk) 14:45, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
