Request reason:

I understand the concern that my earlier edits may have appeared promotional. I would like to clarify that I represent a legitimate Australian company (Cubic Promotions Pty Ltd, trading as Cubic Promote), which has operated for 17 years and serves over 4,200 businesses annually.

My intention in editing was not to advertise but to provide reliable references and data relevant to the topic of promotional merchandise in Australia. Cubic Promote publishes statistics and insights based on thousands of transactions each year, which may be useful to Wikipedia readers seeking factual information about the industry, particularly regarding usage trends, turnaround times, and product categories.
I fully acknowledge Wikipedia’s policies on neutral point of view and external linking. Going forward, I will avoid adding any links that could be perceived as promotional. Instead, I will focus on contributing verifiable industry statistics or references only when they are directly relevant and improve the encyclopaedic value of the article.
I kindly request that my editing privileges be reconsidered, with the assurance that my contributions will comply with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Thank you for your time and understanding.

Decline reason:

Both GPTZero and ZeroGPT give this 100% likelihood of having been generated using AI.

We do not consider appeals by AI. You are blocked, not AI, therefore you tell us why you think you should be unblocked. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:03, 5 September 2025 (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.

CharlesLiu2025 (talk) 11:18, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(1) Unblock requests written by AI are not considered. (2) You've already managed to get your site added to our blacklist; we're certainly not going to unblock you if you are only here to make further attempts to promote it. To be unblocked, you'd need to explicitly agree to not write about your company. OhNoitsJamie Talk 11:24, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I agree absolutely. We will not make any edits that will talk about our company. CharlesLiu2025 (talk) 11:26, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Now that I've disregarded your AI-generated appeal, what's left is this very short one, which doesn't convince me that you either understand what has caused you to be blocked, or what you need to do differently going forward if unblocked. It's a good start that you're undertaking (or are you?) not to make any edits related to your business... can you tell us what topics you will be editing on, instead? (You should also see WP:GAB for advice on appealing.) DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:08, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

CharlesLiu2025 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I apologised again for using AI help because I don't want to cause any misunderstanding with my intentions anymore.That is wrong of me, I am reckless about it and will read more about the guidelines you have. I wanted to make you understand that the blocked is not necessary because I have understand why our company is being blocked, because we don't read the rules properly from before and we understand why we are blocked. Right now, we understand not to include company names just for seeking promotion or recognition but we wanted to add some data or statistics in which can help viewers or readers gain more understand when talking about promotional merchandise in Australia. AsI have read more about the rules I understand now how to educate readers more inclined to your guideline. Hoping you will reconsider us and give us a chance again.

And what sites would you use to cite that data? OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:56, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
With the intention of contributing positively to Wiki's aim of educating human knowledge. The citations I will use outside of trade associations (APPA, PPAI, etc.) will focus on the role of Sustainability and certification bodies in the supply chain. Therefore it must include citations from:
-Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
-OEKO-TEX®
-FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council)
-Climate Active (Australian carbon neutral certification)
Other citations will be Trade Events, Statistical sources & Publications (which also has a significant role in Swag and Merch supply)
-Sourcing Fairs (eg, HKTDC (Hong Kong Trade Development Council Sourcing Show)
-ABS (eg, Australian Bureau of Statistics)
These citations are to holistically educate the entire supply chain picture & how it impacts marketing as well as the environment to add to a reader's knowledge. How do you feel about these?

Hi there! I have updated the formatting so you did not submit a new block request. You do not need to use the unblock template in every response. If the unblock request is open, you can simply reply to other editors. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 23:58, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Your right, appreciate that! Is there something else that would help make you comfortable removing the block? 2406:3400:214:B00:4F6:73F:4128:C1D9 (talk) 02:10, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Looking here, it also looks like you previously used multiple accounts to spam links. Can you address this, as well? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 13:34, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I completely understand why this situation would raise red flags for you. Seeing multiple accounts adding the same links would look like coordinated promotion – and I would feel the same if I were in your position.
The truth is, I had two team members who unfortunately didn’t understand Wikipedia’s conflict-of-interest and promotional guidelines. They used multiple accounts and were trying to get our site mentioned – which was wrong and against policy. They are no longer with our company, and I've taken internal steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
What I like now is simply the chance to contribute in a way that actually helps readers – by sharing verifiable industry data with neutral citations, not company promotion. I understand the need to build back trust here.
What would you need to see from me, to feel comfortable that we can contribute responsibly going forward? 2406:3400:214:B00:6134:57E0:5EE1:91B3 (talk) 05:41, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
