User talk:Gennabrand

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 04:50, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your user name and conflict of interest[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "InnoAfrica", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Diannaa (talk) 00:14, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

Requested username:

Request reason:

Your reason here more suitable username for personal use

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from Wikipedia:Changing username and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Note that you are required to read and abide by WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. This is important; this restricts or prevents your ability to edit articles related to Inno Africa.

Hi. I've done the rename for you, so there's no need to make any requests anywhere else. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:14, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I warned you that you had to read and abide by WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. You have failed to do so. As such, I'm afraid I had to block your account indefinitely. Once you have read those policies, you are welcome to request an unblock. I suggest any admin is free to lift the block (without consulting me) if you agree to refrain from any further direct edits on Innovation: Africa. Note that this is not the only way to be unblocked; the policies I have linked to (twice, now) go into more detail. --Yamla (talk) 21:43, 8 September 2017 (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).

Decline reason:

No reason given. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:15, 21 September 2018 (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.
