[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, website, or role, 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. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:12, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I understand why my account "Think Patented" was blocked. It gave the impression that I was promoting a business, which is against Wikipedia policy. I will not repeat this behavior. I am disclosing that I was compensated by Think Patented to create content, per Wikipedia's paid-contribution disclosure requirement, and I will follow all rules regarding neutrality, reliable sourcing, and avoiding promotional language. If unblocked, I intend to contribute in a neutral, policy-compliant way, focusing only on verifiable facts supported by reliable secondary sources. I will avoid using Wikipedia for advertising or promotion. I would like to continue contributing under the new username "OhioEditor23".

As your draft stands now, it is not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. You have a fundamental, if common, misunderstanding about Wikipedia in that Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell about themselves, their offerings, and what they do. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it is a notable company as Wikipedia defines one. Awards do not contribute to notability unless the award itself merits an article(like Nobel Peace Prize or Academy Award). Most of the rest of the draft just documents the activities of the company, not a summary of what others have said about it. Do you have any independent sources with significant, in depth coverage of your company? 331dot (talk) 19:56, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
