[edit]
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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. In your reasons, you must:

  • Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
  • 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.
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|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. Longhair\talk 18:41, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

The previous name goes against the policy, so this one is ok

Decline reason:

Your username was only one small part of the problem. You have not addressed your violations of WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. Yamla (talk) 11:49, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I missed this on my initial post Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure, am not directly connected to the article, am a page creator, though i was given a reward of N20,000 for my time in writing this article for the company page. I know understand better now the reason for blocking my account and such won't repeat itself. If my account get unblock, it will be a guild for me and i will always let novice user of Wikipedia on what to do to avoid their account being block and to follow all the rules stated by Wikipedia.

Decline reason:

"3chub" is not acceptable as a username either, as it is the name of your business. Please review the username policy. The last part of your request is difficult to understand. To be unblocked, please tell exactly what edits you want to make, which will demonstrate your understanding of the reasons for the block. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 16:10, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I will strictly follow all guideline of wikipedia, and will also use the paid template as instructed.

Decline reason:

Everyone says they will strictly follow every guideline. Please be more specific. We'd like to know that you understand our policies and guidelines. For example, it is difficult for new editors to strictly follow our rules on paid editing and editing with a conflict of interest. They don't disclose all the information necessary, or they use words that are too promotional. So, please take the time to carefully read the rules, tell us what went wrong, and what specific steps you'll take to follow them. Don't just tell us that you'll follow every rule because even the administrators have trouble doing that. There are a lot of rules. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:17, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed your request so others will see it. 331dot (talk) 21:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The required paid editing declaration is not a license to edit about things for which you have a conflict of interest. If that is your only goal here, you won't be unblocked. 331dot (talk) 21:07, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
