User talk:AV-Portal

There have been two problems identified 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, 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 this 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. Alexf^(talk) 14:55, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

If our contributions are regarded as spam, we would like to apologise for our edits and will stop adding links immediately. However, we believe that the edits are in accordance with the purpose of Wikipedia and add relevant information to the respective articles. This account has been verified in the german Wikipedia as an account of German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) (see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:AV-Portal). It has been used to share video content from the scientific open video repository "AV-Portal". As all videos in the AV-Portal are quality tested scientific videos hosted by TIB they are reliable sources. All links added to Wikipedia are set by librarians working at TIB (not by bots) and add information on the topic of the respective articles. All videos that were linked are scientific or educational videos treating the respective topic. We do not pursue any commercial interests but believe that the content linked to, is a useful contribution in accordance with the purpose of Wikipedia.

Decline reason:

As already explained above, this username is unacceptable, and you will not be unblocked unless you propose new username. Wikipedia does not allow wp:shared accounts, only accounts used by individuals are permitted. English Wikipedia has different rules compared to German Wikipedia.

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.
