Welcome![edit]

Hello, Audiovisual Licensing Alliance (AVLA) Limited, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Audiovisual Licensing Alliance (AVLA) Limited, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

February 2024[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy, which is summarized here.

It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
  • To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
  • If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and 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 available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. 

Thank you. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:06, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Audiovisual Licensing Alliance (AVLA) Limited (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I fear there is a misunderstanding. In reality, there is no conflict of interest. AGICOA is one of the founders and main member of Audiovisual Licensing Alliance (AVLA) Limited. AGICOA established AVLA together with other not-for-profit collective management organisations. Please see under Who we are? at: About AVLA - AVLA Website

AVLA has recently launched an audiovisual licence for the UK. This is of relevance for owners, managers of hotels, aparthotel, B&Bs, etc. It is also of relevance to the creators of audiovisual works (films, series, documentaries, cartoons, etc.) given that AVLA represents most of them.

Please consult the following links to confirm that AVLA is a legitimate entity and that it is of relevance to the hospitality sector:

- Intellectual Property Office of the UK government: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/licensing-bodies-and-collective-management-organisations#cmos-in-the-uk

- UK Hospitality: https://www.ukhospitality.org.uk/guidance/mplc-tv-licensing-and-accommodation/

We would appreciate if you could lift these blockages and allow us to place an entry on AVLA. We trust many internet users would be grateful too. Audiovisual Licensing Alliance (AVLA) Limited (talk) 13:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your legitimacy is not at issue. Your username violates our username policy. Accounts are for individuals, not organizations, and this needs to be indicated in your username. A specific individual should be exclusively operating this account and they may not give others access. I think you may have confused creating an article with creating an account. You edited your user page, which is not article space, but a place for the named user to tell about themselves as a Wikipedia editor or user. New accounts cannot directly create articles. Please propose a new username as instructed. The name of your organization can be a portion of your username, such as "JohnDoe of AVLA" if you desire. Your real name is not required. You also gravely misunderstand conflict of interest, please review that policy. If you work for the AVLA, the Terms of Use require you to make a formal paid editing disclosure as well. 331dot (talk) 07:33, 22 May 2024 (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.

Please place all edits in the larger edit window, not the smaller section header window. You can avoid creating a section header entirely by clicking "edit" and not "add topic" or "new section". Your initial statement should replace the words "your reason here"; I've done this for you above. 331dot (talk) 07:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
