User talk:EMYAFRICA

July 2019

There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Request reason:

hi. I am a media journalist in Ghana who is just insuring that one of our major award schemes has media presence. I am not being paid to do this as it goes against the honour code of my profession. Please review the block. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Whether you are paid to specifically do this or not, if you are paid by your organization at all you must comply with WP:PAID; you must also read conflict of interest regardless of if you are paid or not. Wikipedia has no interest in the media presence of your organization's awards; we are only concerned with what independent reliable sources state about any subject. If you want to write about something other than your organization or its awards, you may make another request, I am declining this one. You will need to follow the instructions to simultaneously request unblock and propose a new username, as instructed above. 331dot (talk) 12:59, 4 July 2019 (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.
