[edit]
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 go here to search and 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 available to be taken.
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. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 19:23, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
I work for Amazfit full time as part of their branding team, and we want to update the Wikipedia page with accurate information, as the current page is very outdated and inaccurate. The initial edit that was blocked was simply our brand boilerplate that we add to PR releases, but we can modify it to something more suitable.
Decline reason:
That choice of new username is fine. Wikipedia is not interested in what companies want to say about themselves, or in aiding branding/marketing efforts. Wikipedia articles primarily summarize what independent reliable sources say about a topic. If there are inaccuracies or errors in the article about your company, we want to know what those are, but this must be done in the proper manner. Please review conflict of interest and paid editing(which includes editing as part of your job) and tell us what will change about how you contribute. If you want to edit about any topics other than your company as a general, individual contributor, please tell that as well. I am declining your request, you may make another for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 08:22, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- okay, then who can apply the updated content if i'm not allowed to do it myself? pretty much everything on the current article is wrong, so it all needs to be updated. you can go to PR Newswire and see some recent press releases for some updated information, if we can't apply it ourselves. Amazfit Brand (talk) 08:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not interested in summarizing press releases or other materials from your company; the main purpose of a Wikipedia article is to summarize what independent reliable sources say about a topic. Primary sources are only acceptable in certain situations. If you review conflict of interest and paid editing as I indicated, those will help you learn how you can properly propose changes to the article about your company. Please understand that while we strive for accuracy and are interested to know any errors, Wikipedia articles are meant to provide a historical overview and are not necessarily intended to have up to the minute current information- that's for your own website and social media. This does not mean that we don't want to know what corrections are needed- we do- but this needs to be done in the correct manner. 331dot (talk) 09:25, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- okay, but i can't update my edits to fit your guidelines if i'm blocked out of wikipedia. so i need you to approve opening the account and i will redraft it. Amazfit Brand (talk) 09:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- You need to make a new unblock request placed below for someone else to review. My review puts an end to my involvement with this matter, a new admin will review your next request. 331dot (talk) 09:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
Username has been changed, and now i need the account reopened in order to update the content for publishing in a manner which suits the update guidelines
Decline reason:
This does not tell us what you'd write about instead. In fact, I'm pretty sure you plan to continue writing about Amazfit. You won't be unblocked to do that. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the line. Yamla (talk) 11:52, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- the previous message explains it. yes i want to update the amazfit page because all of the content is inaccurate. so i need to update the details to follow your guidelines while also reflecting updated information.
- there is no reason to decline the request if you have any interest in unbiased moderation. it seems like you're managing it like a reddit moderator rather than having an interest in accurate information. Amazfit Brand (talk) 01:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- What we are saying is that we need to first see evidence that you will follow our policies before we permit you to indirectly contribute about your company. That evidence is provided through edits in areas unrelated to your conflict of interest(like your company and its field). We can't just rely on your pledge to abide by guidelines; our experience is that doing that is a waste of time for all involved(including the editor). If your only interest here is in editing about your company, you won't be unblocked. No, we aren't "unbiased moderators"; we're administrators who have been entrusted by the community with certain tools to be used for protecting Wikipedia. Yes, we are biased towards protecting Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 08:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- it's ok i will get another moderator to approve it. it makes no sense to waste my time editing random pages just to get access to the one that actually needs updating. you aren't entrusted to do anything - you're on a power trip, so i'll find someone else. Amazfit Brand (talk) 08:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Name calling is the refuge of people who lose logical arguments. This has nothing to do with power- I have no power. Just extra tools. If you want to make another request for someone else to review, you can- but it is highly unlikely you will find someone willing to unblock you to make edits about your brand in the short term. 331dot (talk) 11:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Entrusted, eh? Then please read and heed WP:PAID and WP:COI. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:21, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
