User talk:Firefighter4

August 2020

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, FireRescueHub, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.

Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a ”Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or “FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice,. GeneralNotability (talk) 14:28, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.

Hi there, Could you elaborate as to which particular edit you're referring to or how I am spamming? I am simply adding statistics/information (or updating outdated info) and inserting a relevant reference (my website). Does this mean that I can't make any further edits with a citation to firerescuehub.com ? Firefighter4

Per WP:EL, we don't permit single-purpose link spamming accounts. See also WP:COI; given your unblock request above, it would appear that you are a representative from that commercial site, which represents a clear conflict-of-interest. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:08, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
