Your username

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Godolphin School, and I noticed that your username, "Gomarketing", 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, service, 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 (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. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

[edit]
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:

  • 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 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. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 17:25, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I didn't know I couldn't use the business name as I am new to Wikipedia. Could you please unblock so I can revert back to the changes? How long does it take to get unblocked? I just needed to update some minor details about Godolphin.

Decline reason:

Your username is only one small part of the problem here. You haven't addressed your violation of WP:COI and WP:PROMO. Yamla (talk) 15:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I am unsure then how a business can update important information. How can this be doen without being blocked? Gomarketing (talk) 15:48, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure how a business can update the page. I am new to Wikipedia - can I do my name at the business name to be able to make edits on behalf of the company? Gomarketing (talk) 16:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi I now understand that I have to add to the talk section and add edit COI to the topic for someone to review. I therefore will not edit directly in future. Please could you unblock and change my usernameGomarketing (talk) 13:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Before we permit you to indirectly contribute about your organization, we will want to see some edits from you in areas unrelated to your conflict of interest and paid relationship, as a demonstration of your understanding of relevant policies. Our experience is that allowing people in your position to dive right back into editing is a waste of time for everyone(including the editor). Please tell if there are topics unrelated to your conflict of interest that you might edit about as a general contributor. If you have no other interest here, this is the end of the line. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:50, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Topics unrelated that I might edit about as a general contributor include any technology pages or music pages or drama or theatre.

Requested username:

Guru3000 (talk · account availability check · rename user)
Request reason:
I have understood what the other admins have said and responding to the last one, now that I have got to know how Wikipedia works I would be interested in contributing to other topics and pages for things like music, drama or theatre. I hope this is sufficient evidence that I now understand how Wikipedia works. As I said I was new and didn't understand how this works but I have learnt a lot in the last week about how to use Wikipedia.

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

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=Guru3000 | 3=I have understood what the other admins have said and responding to the last one, now that I have got to know how Wikipedia works I would be interested in contributing to other topics and pages for things like music, drama or theatre. I hope this is sufficient evidence that I now understand how Wikipedia works. As I said I was new and didn't understand how this works but I have learnt a lot in the last week about how to use Wikipedia. | 4=~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=Guru3000 | reason=I have understood what the other admins have said and responding to the last one, now that I have got to know how Wikipedia works I would be interested in contributing to other topics and pages for things like music, drama or theatre. I hope this is sufficient evidence that I now understand how Wikipedia works. As I said I was new and didn't understand how this works but I have learnt a lot in the last week about how to use Wikipedia. | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.
