User talk:SteamExchange

September 2021

Your account has been blocked indefinitely 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 name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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 Wikipedia: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|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. Longhair\^talk 07:30, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Requested username:

Request reason:

To adhere to the username policy Hello, it appears I have breached your posting policies. I do apologize for this. The article I submitted was unbiased and developed with strong emphasis on information regarding the organization. We do want to publish this article so if you could kindly advise what the best route would be to accomplish this, and going forward, what the best route would be to prevent being blocked again. Again, apologies for not doing my due diligence before posting.

Decline reason:

Your choice of new username would be acceptable. You seem to misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia- it it not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves and what they do. That is considered promotional here, you don't have to be soliciting or selling something. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself and what it considers to be its own history- you can do those things on your own website and social media. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Please read about conflict of interest and paid editing. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your company. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road for your Wikipedia career. If you want to be a general contributor and edit about topics unrelated to your conflict of interest, such as Joe Biden or science or the history of your country, please tell what topics you might edit about. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SteamExchange, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
