Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Thiess Pty Ltd, and I noticed that your username, "Thiess-digital", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. 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, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

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, 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. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Diamond Blizzard talk 02:00, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There have been two problems 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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

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

Right, and your job as Thiess's Senior Communications Specialist has nothing to do with that... Yunshui ^雲 _水 08:06, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I don't believe the content requested is for advertising purposes. I would like to share the history of the business. Could you please share with me the process of creating a wiki page for Thiess ? We have a lot of requests from colleague family members and school students looking to access the history for Thiess. I appreciate your help and understanding.

Decline reason:

You are confused, this is an encyclopedia rather than a business directory. See WP:NOT. You've also been violating WP:COI and WP:PROMO. Put simply, if your only goal is to write about Thiess, you won't be unblocked. If you are interested in writing about other subject areas, areas for which you have no conflict, tell us what they are. Yamla (talk) 00:23, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
