User talk:Volucap

January 2024

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account 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:

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. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:20, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Volucap (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I chose to use my real name as a username to remain transparent about my identity. I am the CEO of Volucap, and if my role disqualifies me from contributing to Wikipedia about myself or my company, I understand. However, my intention has always been to provide well-sourced, factual information without using marketing language. I’ve aimed to list projects, awards, and verifiable achievements backed by reliable references. I hope this clarifies my intentions and adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines.

Decline reason:

Indeed, we don't get to write about ourselves or our companies on Wikipedia. If you have no other interests on Wikipedia, there's nothing else to do here. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 16:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user is asking to be unblocked to request a change in username.

Requested username:

svenatvolucap (talk · account availability check · rename user)

Request reason:

Thank you for reviewing my request. I understand the concerns raised about my initial edits and username. My intention was never to use Wikipedia for promotional purposes, and I recognize that my edits may have appeared to violate Wikipedia's guidelines.

I am a professional in the field of volumetric video and camera technology, having contributed to productions such as Matrix 4 and Mickey 17. Given the growing public interest in this domain, my goal was to provide a well-referenced, factual resource for journalists and others to access accurate information about these technologies. Additionally, I noticed several outdated articles in related fields that I hoped to update with neutral, verifiable content.

If unblocked, I intend to:

Avoid creating articles or sections about myself or my company directly. Focus on improving and updating articles about volumetric video, camera systems, and other areas where I have expertise. Provide transparent edit summaries and adhere strictly to Wikipedia’s guidelines for neutrality and verifiability. I also commit to fully disclosing any potential conflicts of interest as per Wikipedia's WP:COI and paid-contribution disclosure policies. My intent is solely to contribute useful, impartial information that adheres to Wikipedia's standards.

Regarding a username change, I propose the following usernames for your consideration:

svenatvolucap or vonderheide352543

I hope one of these options aligns with Wikipedia's username policy and the community guidelines. Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to contributing constructively to the platform.

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).

Hi Sven, both of those usernames are acceptable as far as I can tell - is there one you prefer? I see that ChatGPT agrees to disclose conflicts of interests and follow WP:COI guidelines, but can you tell us how you, specifically, would follow the guidelines at WP:PAID? Thanks. -- asilvering (talk) 03:44, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
