December 2023[edit]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account 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, or web site, 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:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and 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.

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. 331dot (talk) 09:23, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first time editing on Wikipedia. The content that I posted is true and I am not being paid for it. I was only doing research on bathtub refinishing and came across this article. I thought it would be the right thing to do to mention that the entire craft of bathtub refinishing and reglazing was invented by the company I mentioned. It was not as an advertisment or promotion, just simply factual and true. It is a noteworthy accomplishment and I didn't see anythign wrong with documenting it. In fact, i tried to add the resource for the information in the footnotes, but I couldm't figure it out.

Additionally, I used the username to the company I work for because I couldn't think of anything else. It is really second nature to me to tell fun facts. I don't mind changing the username as it is not something I am attached to or concerned about. I was giong to use the term CATORI but it was taken. Catori means "spirit" in the native indian language.

Again, I received no compensation for the information I input and it was not intended to be an advertisement or promotion. Furthermore, I understand the block since your organization thought it was a promotion. Again, it was truly just a factual and informative piece of information as I believe we all should be acknowledged for our unique inventions especially when they are contributions that actually help people and have paved the way for so many to thrive and be safe.

The contributions I like to make are informative and factual, not with a propmotional or advertising intention whatsoever.

For example, my father invented the gourmet airline meal. He is now passed away but what he developed for Pan American Airlines in the 1950's changed airline travel and the experience adding to the desire to travel by plane. There is a whole story behind it and I find it to be noteworthy. Fun fact and a man's hard work and dedication to his culinarty craft. AS a result of his contribution and invention, he had an exclusive catering account with Pan American Airlines well into 1978.

Perhaps Wikipedia can have a fun fact version from which people can be acknowledged and if they meet the criteria for Wikipedia eventually, then they would have earned their way. How great would that be?

If you decide to unblock my account, I would like to request the new username: TruthWayLife

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

I had no idea I was only allowed to submit one request at a time. I am new here and learning the wikipedia way. If you would be so kind as to accept my new username so I may then move forward in handlong the next request. In reagrd to my username change request, as I am new to wikipedia, I did not know that my original username wasnot allowable. I wanted the name CATORI but it was not available. I chose CAtoriAgency because it was available and unique. Now I know the reason per the block notes that the name is not allowed. I do not mind changing it and I hope you accept my new username: TruthWayLife. Thank you.

Decline reason:

Unfortunately, TruthWayLife is not actually available else i would have already renamed. per WP:CORPNAME

"Because Wikipedia's policy is that usernames should not be shared between more than one individual, the following types of usernames are not permitted because they imply shared use:

Usernames that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted (these also fall under Promotional names).
Personal usernames that imply shared access, such as "Jack and Jill", are not permitted.
Usernames that are names of posts within organizations, such as "Secretary of the XY Foundation", are not permitted, as such a post may be held by different persons at different times.
However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc.". You will not be unblocked to edit about CATORIAgency until you can edit non promotionally. Please describe what constructive edits you would make in the mean time. Thanks.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:56, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New User name: TruthWayLife

I was going to use the term CATORI but it was taken. Catori means "spirit" in the native indian language. I didn't know that the term agency was not allowed. I am new here and have never participated before.

Ouch! Those are codewords spammers use to avoid calling their promotional content promotional content. While I'm here, please suggest another new username. The one you wanted is in use. Best.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:12, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to report that TruthWayLife is available. We'll need someone with the Global Renaming permission to perform the rename - unfortunately I no longer have that as I didn't use it enough! Waggers TALK 14:05, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rename not done[edit]

The chosen username is too similar to an existing username. Please modify your request with a fresh choice. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:16, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh for heaven's sake. This one (lebourgeois) is taken too. Maybe add a couple of random numbers or letters at the end so the software will allow me to rename. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:11, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Oh my gosh. Well, how about lebourgeois1969. Does that work? TruthWayLife (talk) 03:20, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And, by the way, thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it :) TruthWayLife (talk) 03:20, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I was told the username I requested is too similar to another one

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Renamer note[edit]

The chosen username, TruthWayLife , is too similar to an existing username or it used to be username of someone else that got renamed. Please choose again -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:45, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
