User talk:ShonaliSabherwal

May 2019

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, ShonaliSoulfood, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. NJA | talk 12:55, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Renamed and unblocked. Note that you have a clear conflict of interest with regard to macrobiotics, healthy lifestyles, etc. You will need to avoid violating our policies on conflicts of interest, so should avoid editing in these subject areas and avoid linking to your site. You are welcome to suggest edits, after disclosing your conflict, on an article's discussion page, and you are free to edit areas unrelated to your conflict of interest. Happy editing!

You are also required to avoid any more editing on Shonali Sabherwal. That was a blatant violation, both of WP:COI and of WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 13:57, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
