User talk:Sassastatus

May 2024

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

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:

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, 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.

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. Cabayi (talk) 10:35, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi, I think you blocked me in a error. I read article that related to my edits. My bad that I put user name similar to that. This is my first time actually using the WikiPedia and I would like to appeal to it Hi, I wanted to appeal against the block and deleting my edits. I provided 100% correct information that SASSA has raised its grant to R370 from the month of May 2024. Then why would my edits get deleted and I got blocked. If I don't put the reference in the right way, you should tell me the right way. But deleting my comment and blocking my account is not fair at all. If I put anything wrong do let me know and would like to seek the right way from you. I would appreciate that. Thanks. Sassastatus (talk) 04:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I merged these two requests, only one request is needed at a time, you don't need separate requests for the username and the block. We can rename your account once the block is removed. That your information may be correct is not the issue. It doesn't matter if you work for the South African government or the website you "write for"- it's still paid editing and/or a conflict of interest. You'll need to tell us how you will comply with these policies and what edits you intend to make that are unrelated to your conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 07:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your block was correct because of your username. Wikipedia's username policy forbids accounts to be named after organizations. Accounts are for individuals - not organizations, companies or groups of people.

Do you work for SASSA, or represent them in any capacity? If so, then you would be considered a paid editor by Wikipedia's definition. You would have to make the necessary disclosures as outlined in Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Drm SASSA is a government institution. I don't work for SASSA. But I'm writing for website https://sassacheckstatus.net.za/ and discuss the news and updates about the SASSA grants. Like I noticed that the latest update of grant was not present on the wikipedia.org so I edited and referred to my website. I understand your concern at the same time that, however, you see it's necessary to update the information. I can't be wrong in providing the update about the information but if you think that my user name was wrong, unblock the account to let me change it.

Hi, I got the point that you're saying that to edit resource code as articles of creation. And as a disclosure thing, I'm not getting paid by anyone because I own the site and I write for it. My legal name is Syed Muhammad Saad. I don't run it as a organization and its a private blog website. My future contributions would be that I would to add updates but yeah would I would post it as articles of contribution to get it reviewed. Would let me know if I need to provide anything. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sassastatus (talk • contribs)

Your last unblock request was declined, so you will have to make a new one with the {{unblock-spamun}} template. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:22, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
