[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. WaggersTALK 11:54, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:IQGlassWiki/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

waggers mate, im just trying to sort out wikis for our brands. No CTAs are involved so its not promotional. Just a bio of the company IQGlassWiki (talk) 12:13, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, it is not a web host for brands. Thanks for confirming that you have a conflict of interest, please read that linked policy carefully. You should also read our criteria for inclusion of articles about organisations which you will need to demonstrate for any article you think should be created about an organisation. There was no evidence in your draft article of your company meeting those criteria. WaggersTALK 12:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
waggers cmon now. By "brands" i am referring to our various company names that house our various glazing systems. IQ Glass is a company with several sub-companies below it. We have our own websites regardless. We are using wikipedia to just provide some SEO value to our company while also providing our customers with an insight into the company and its structure IQGlassWiki (talk) 12:33, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is deeply inappropriate to abuse Wikipedia for SEO. You will not be unblocked to do that. --Yamla (talk) 13:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Request reason:

Blocked for writing an entry on the largest glazing company in the UK. Everything written is facts as I work at the company. Not once was there a CTA to try and get IQ Glass leads.

Decline reason:

That username would also be inappropriate. You don't seem to understand WP:COI and WP:PROMO and won't be unblocked to promote your company. If you aren't interested in writing about subject areas for which you have no conflict of interest, this is the end of the line. Yamla (talk) 12:31, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
