User talk:Kiosk guides

June 2023

Your account has been indefinitely blocked 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 username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of 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 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|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. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 23:58, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Mistaken attempt at creating a username. First searches were unsuccessful and I tried a more intuitive--for me--but then it came up against the rules. I tried a username--but didn't understand the response: josfland. The Website I developed is not commercial, rather educational, with 200 study guides in English with 1200 translations in 38 languages, all by volunteers. There is not copyright and visitors can freely repurpose the content, edit, retransmit, print, etc. Kiosk guides (talk) 17:07, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You haven't proposed a new username. Whether your website is commercial or not, you still won't be permitted at this time to edit about it, so we will need to know what you will edit about instead. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 17:30, 4 July 2023 (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.

Requested username:

josfland (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Please provide your response to your block. by changing {{unblock-spamun|josfland}} to {{unblock-spamun|josfland|your response here}}. If your response contains a URL with a "=" in it you will need to add "2=" to the start of your reason or else it will not display correctly.

Decline reason:

As you know, your username is only one small part of the problem here. You haven't addressed your violation of WP:COI and WP:PROMO and you haven't told us what you plan to write about instead. Yamla (talk) 21:26, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
