[edit]
Your account has been indefinitely blocked 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 username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of 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 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|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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:22, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I made the page I’m being blocked for back when I was 16, I was a stupid dude and made it to feel cool around my friends. I understand advertising has no place at Wikipedia and I will not do this again. Idiotgang (talk) 13:43, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Your new username also appears to be promotional, can you clarify your intent there or maybe pick something else? Elli (talk | contribs) 02:55, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just use the same username everywhere, it’s not for promotion or anything in that area. Idiotgang (talk) 07:03, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would also be fine with the username ferriswheelmmm, if it’s available. Idiotgang (talk) 16:43, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Elli, any chance you could have another look at this one? -- asilvering (talk) 05:01, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I've done the rename. Elli (talk | contribs) 06:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks. @Jimfbleak, @Significa liberdade, this block was two years ago and I don't see any compelling reason not to lift it. Objections? -- asilvering (talk) 16:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fine by me, @Asilvering. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 18:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you let us know what types of edits you would like to make on Wikipedia if you were unblocked? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:49, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

asilvering, like Significa liberdade (she/her) i'd like to know what edits are intended, OK otherwise Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Since they really didn't get very far before, and they've acknowledged the promo article was not acceptable, I don't know that we need to be all that worried here. They're not some determined SEO farmer, they're a teenager in a band. -- asilvering (talk) 19:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
