GEM MGMT

May 2021

Your account has been blocked indefinitely 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 name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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 Wikipedia: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|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. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:36, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi guys, Luk3, Victor Schmidt and Cullen (jim) , guys thanks for your help, wow i had no idea this was going to be this difficult but i do respect what youre doing. Thanks in advance. This is all a little foreign to me and Im certainly not trying to cause trouble. Just putting a friends bio up on Wiki. He was my boss about 15 years ago. no im just helping him update his bio. Certainly didn't mean to cause harm by also adding his current company as the username. I will change that BUT its stating my ip address is blocked...help me! you guys if you can dumb it down for me, this is not my first language- computer that is.

If you unblock me, I will work to follow the stipulations, add correct dates and highlight companies etc...I am not a paid employee. I am not receiving any monetary compensation for this. Im donating my time.

thanks so much for any help, i just want to get this straight but also want to follow the rules! Can yall help me move forward? What do you suggest I do first? Thanks in advance, GEM MGMT (talk) 12:33, 26 May 2021 (UTC) GPF (redacted)

Decline reason:

You have not proposed a new username as instructed. Wikipedia does not have "bios", it has articles. Even if what you say is true, you are clearly too close to your friend and the company to be able to edit about it properly. Please review conflict of interest. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term at least, edit about those topics. If there are other topics you want to edit about, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 14:50, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

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.

331dot what do you suggest I do first? Where do I begin to make this better?(talk)

{{|GPF20202|I did a search of this username and there wasnt any others. Im assuming I can use this name? I would like to start with the username, then I have general qiestions regarding the proposed article, I would propose that someone else edit it, BUT still have questions that need to be answered. Cant do much by being blocked and IP addy blocked can we start here?}}331dot
