Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy.

August 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 follow all these steps:

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, insert 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.

Marketing and advertising is not permitted on Wikipedia. Cullen328 (talk)

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

Requested username:

OldPlanet (already changed) (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Hi, sorry if this is redundant, not sure if my last attempt went through or not. I wasn't aware of the name policy and apologize for breaking that rule. And I just created the Wiki entry because Sam Seder's entry looked incomplete without something linked to Beat Cops, which I had just watched on YouTube. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever and hope that this block can be lifted. Thanks! I'd be happy to change my name again too if it's still not appropriate for Wiki, total rookie mistake

Decline reason:

Per Cullen below, the username change is not sufficient to address the issues with your editing. Daniel (talk) 08:38, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328: ping, the timeline here is a bit odd with the username renaming etc. so keen for your thoughts. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 06:10, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel, the former username was "Old Planet Media" which is the name of a digital marketing agency in Rhode Island. I find it highly unlikely that this account has no connection to that agency and do not believe that removing "Media" from the username is adequate. This inexperieced account created a highly detailed draft article about a 1999 half hour TV pilot. I find it implausible that an unconnected new editor with only five edits made five months before would expend this much effort on writing about a 25 year old half hour TV pilot without a conflict of interest of some kind. I think that Sam Seder's entry looked incomplete provides a clue. Cullen328 (talk) 06:47, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Seder is from Worcester, Massachusetts and the Rhode Island border is less than 25 miles away. Cullen328 (talk) 07:19, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
