May 2024[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, 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 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.

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

My username was flagged as attempting to advertise, despite the username being a common local descriptor for Devon Wrestling in Devon. It is not a Brand name. I seek to provide further data about Devon Wrestling Wikipedia. Devonshirewrestling (talk) 07:13, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your current username is that of a website that you linked to, that is why it violates the username policy. Your proposed new username is fine, but you will need to disclose any connection you have with this website or the field of wrestling in Devonshire; see conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 07:43, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
