User talk:RPM Magazine

February 2018

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.

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 by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:50, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OSHWAH sorry for the errors. I am new to Wikipedia. RPM Magazine is a magazine currently distributed. I am not trying to advertise it. I am trying to make a page for it to make people aware of it and how it started as many people ask how long it has been around and how it started. Please help me make this work. I don't mind changing the username to my name which is Trish Biro or you can change it to something else that would work better. I am not sure how to proceed. It took me 30 minutes just to find where to put this message. Thanks for your help. I look forward to hearing back.RPM Magazine (talk) 20:18, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If unblocked, I would like to change my username but don't understand how. Also, I can edit the text in this page that would make one lead to believe that it is an advertisement. Please provide any assistance you can with regards to how to go about doing this.RPM Magazine (talk) 20:18, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You forgot to address your inappropriate edit. It's unclear if you understand why your edit was wrong or if you have read and understood WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. Yamla (talk) 20:46, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I understand my errors and am prepared to edit the entry regarding RPM Magazine to make it more appropriately worded to not sound like an advertisement. More informational as opposed to a promotional piece. I was unclear on the rules regarding this when I initially entered the information. I also understand the fact that my username cannot be the same as the magazine name. RPM Magazine (talk) 17:13, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did I miss a reply? Sorry, I am new to this. I have not heard anything since I replied unless I locate that in a different area. Sorry for the confusion. Just trying to navigate my way through this.RPM Magazine (talk) 20:52, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see the COI. I will need to only edit on Wikipedia until I am no longer an employee of RPM Magazine or associated with it because it is a conflict of interest and I may provide inaccurate information due to my association. I would like to change my username to the new username that I suggested.RPM Magazine (talk) 20:55, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
