Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Rodda Paint. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

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 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. Secretlondon (talk) 05:10, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I am trying to update just the history and service specific information for Rodda Paint's Wikipedia page. I did not intend to include content to simply promote the business.

Decline reason:

user name would still be a problem and sentences like "Color inspiration is everywhere! It’s Rodda Paint Company’s goal to make it easy for customers to choose interior and exterior colors for their projects—the possibilities are endless." are clearly promotional©Geni (talk) 03:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
