May 2024[edit]

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 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. Bbb23 (talk) 13:08, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking to be unblocked to request a change in username.

Requested username:

DHSmith77 (talk · account availability check · rename user)

Request reason:

Happy to change username. It was not associated with any current business or meant to be promotional. I am new to creating whole articles and thought that referencing the subjects own work was acceptable if it shows proof that they actually created it. However, if referencing the subjects own work is deemed too promotional then I will happily delete those references. I will also be glad to review the tone of the text to not sound self-serving if that is a problem. I had intended to submit the article for review which I will do after editing. I added the paid contribution disclosure once I understood how to do it. Wikipedia editing is not a service I promote for myself.

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please place {{subst:Unblock on hold-notification | 1=Dsnewmedia}} on the administrator's talk page. Then replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=DHSmith77 | 3=Happy to change username. It was not associated with any current business or meant to be promotional. I am new to creating whole articles and thought that referencing the subjects own work was acceptable if it shows proof that they actually created it. However, if referencing the subjects own work is deemed too promotional then I will happily delete those references. I will also be glad to review the tone of the text to not sound self-serving if that is a problem. I had intended to submit the article for review which I will do after editing. I added the paid contribution disclosure once I understood how to do it. Wikipedia editing is not a service I promote for myself. | 4=~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=DHSmith77 | reason=Happy to change username. It was not associated with any current business or meant to be promotional. I am new to creating whole articles and thought that referencing the subjects own work was acceptable if it shows proof that they actually created it.

I added the paid contribution disclosure once I understood how to do it. Wikipedia editing is not a service I promote for myself. | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=DHSmith77 | reason=Happy to change username. It was not associated with any current business or meant to be promotional.

Is the business now defunct? You declared a paid editing relationship; I gather it was not via the business? 331dot (talk) 22:48, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The username was chosen years ago and no longer related to any business. The paid declaration is because the client paying me for the creation of the page is a client of my current business. Dsnewmedia (talk) 10:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
