There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

  • 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.
If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 16:57, 28 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please follow the instructions in the block notice to propose a new username. You don't need to actually disclose until you are unblocked. Someone else will review your request. 331dot (talk) 10:33, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

 
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Requested username:

Request reason:

Requesting the name change to comply with the block imposed by 331dot. This change - in addition to the associated email - would give sole ownership to me personally, and not the company anymore. Due to this I'd like to use the account for useful contributions apart from "just" the company I work for. Edit: I am not 100% sure on where I would contribute directly as I'd first have to grow accustomed to the correct way on how to propose new content. At first I'd like to limit myself on editing outdated content on existing pages with a focus on scientific articles in the astronomy area. Additionally, German-specific contents would be my main field of focus as I live in Germany and are therefore exposed to these topics on a daily basis.

Decline reason:

I have renamed your account from AUTO1GroupCommunications and someone else will review your request. It would help if you described what other contributions you wish to make, such as what articles or topic areas. 331dot (talk) 11:14, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Part 2 of the reasoning we can understand and will rectify by changing the account to a personal account of someone in our team. This person will have sole ownership of the Wikipedia account. We were not aware of this Username Policy - sorry! Disclosure of employer etc will also follow on the talk page. Question: Is this disclosure already needed for the unblocking? The first part of the reasoning is incorrect, though. This account has just been created and has not previously been used for advertising etc. Instead this account was created with the honest intention to cooperate with the Wikipedia Community and avoid future advertising content - especially on the AUTO1 Group wiki entry. This part of the block goes against the fourth pillar - assuming good faith.

Decline reason:

We assumed good faith, but you violated that by violating WP:COI, WP:SOCK, WP:EVADE, and our terms of use. This unblock request does nothing to address these concerns. Yamla (talk) 11:40, 29 January 2020 (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.

Request reason:

WP:COI --> This Was (I believe/hope) rectified by un-associating the user account from the company (see unblock-un reviewed) WP:SOCK and WP:EVADE --> I believe the (attempted) edits in February/March 2019 were made by someone in the company that has since left. It is of course natural to think that I am that same person - but that is not the true. My initial reasoning (possibly flawed, but not in bad faith) for creating this account was to come clean with whatever happened in the past and start from scratch with a positive and collaborative mindset. As I never was in charge of the previous accounts I fail to see the connection to sock puppetry - this current account is my only account. Therefore, Evasion can also not take place as - again - I do not controll the previously blocked account.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:18, 4 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dislcaimer: I'm not sure how to bring my previous (so far unreviewed) unblock request to the attention of the moderators. Therefore I'm opening a second unblock request.

You only need one open request, so I removed the formatting from your post. The request is open and visible to administrators. Admins are volunteers doing what they can when they can. Your request will be reviewed in due course, please be patient. You are free to edit your request and attempt to make it more persuasive. 331dot (talk) 16:35, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
