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 follow all these steps:

1. Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
2. 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
3. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
4. Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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 search to 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 still available.

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. Red Phoenix ^talk 12:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi Red Phoenix,

I acknowledge and apologize for the actions that led to the indefinite block of my account.

Now I understand now that using a company name as the username violates Wikipedia's policy which is contrary to Wikipedia's guidelines. I assure you that my intention in editing Wikipedia was solely to contribute accurate and neutral information, not to promote any business or organization. I understand the reason for my block and will strictly adhere to Wikipedia's policies in all future edits. I will not engage in any form of promotional editing or any activity that could be construed as such, and I intend to contribute by updating and improving articles within my areas of expertise, ensuring that all edits are neutral, properly sourced, and beneficial to Wikipedia's community.

I kindly request that my account be unblocked to allow me to continue contributing positively to Wikipedia.

Thank you for considering my appeal. 118.140.161.114 (talk) 01:50, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You gravely misunderstand conflict of interest if you assert that you, an employee of Pinpoint Asset Management, don't have one. More importantly, you gravely misunderstand the paid editing policy; if you are staff, you must draw a salary- that makes you a paid editor and the Terms of Use require you to formally disclose that fact. This is mandatory. You do not need to be specifically paid or instructed to make edits to be a paid editor, any paid relationship triggers the disclosure requirement. You won't be unblocked until you understand these things- and even then it is doubtful that you will be permitted, at least immediately, to make contributions related to your conflict of interest. If there are other topics you want to edit about as a general contributor, please tell what those might be. 331dot (talk) 06:45, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Please log in to your account and confirm that you made the above request. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

confirmed the above. Pinpoint Asset Management Ltd (talk) 14:41, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

What edits do you want to make? 331dot (talk) 15:10, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Before any unblock can be considered, I would also want to know what your relationship is with Pinpoint and have you declare your conflict of interest and if you are paid to edit. Here’s the problem beyond your username; you didn’t add “accurate and neutral” information. Your edit to the page was whitewashing; it removed reliably sourced information about the investment fund’s losses. That needs to be explained before any future editing can take place.

Hi, i'm staff of Pinpoint and I declare there is neither conflict of interest nor even paid to edit. We just wanted to correct the content as we saw some of information is incorrect and outdated. I haven't had chance to edit then my account got blocked. could you please reconsider the unblock? thanks Pinpoint Asset Management Ltd (talk) 03:09, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
