Hello, AutoStore Derry, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:AutoStore Derry/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

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. Kinu t/c 23:38, 23 January 2024 (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. 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:

Hello, I am here to write an entry describing AutoStore, which is a manufacturer of robotic warehouse automation. I would like to appeal my editing block by acknowledging the errors that I have made. I fully understand the reason for your block in that Wikipedia needs to remain an open and objective place for documenting proven and verifiable facts. However, per my editing notes, I did not intend to publish the material in the public domain. I was trying to test Wikipedia's editing functionality in the sandbox environment with the belief that I had created a draft which would be submitted for administrator review. Additionally, I will state for the record that 1.I am a content editor employed by AutoStore and I am therefore disclosing this relationship below. 2.I am requesting that my user name be changed from AutoStore Derry to McBoo, per your directions.

Decline reason:

Sandboxes are not private, and not immune from policies or processes(like deletion). You are in error about Wikipedia's purpose, it is not to "remain an open and objective place for documenting proven and verifiable facts". Wikipedia articles are not place for businesses to tell the world about themselves. Articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about (in this case) a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia does not claim that the information presented is "objective" or "factual", only that it has a neutral point of view and can be verified.
Please read WP:BOSS and have your superiors read it too. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your business. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the line. If you are interested in contributing to Wikipedia more generally, please tell what topics you will edit about in the short term. Once you show us that you understand relevant content and sourcing policies, you may later be permitted to submit a draft about your company, but not now. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:52, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rename

edit

Negative function on McBoo :(. "The chosen username is too similar to an existing username or it used to be username of someone else that got renamed." Please choose again. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 06:20, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
