To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
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.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Rename from "Zpearsonbestlawyers" to "TBLIA1981"[edit]

Rename from "Zpearsonbestlawyers" to "TBLIA1981". --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:51, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deepfriedokra, does that stand for "The Best Lawyers in America"? If so, this is still promotion. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:47, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough - would something like peerreview5457 be more appropriate? I really appreciate the help. TBLIA1981 (talk) 20:53, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OMG! I knew it had a ring to it! --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:32, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. Can't you think of a username for a person and not something connected with the job? Random letters and numbers? Not an acronym for a sales pitch? Something unconnected with job or function? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:34, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spam links[edit]

Please do not add links to your website of any other non reliable source. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." Corporate websites do not fit that requirement. Thanks --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:54, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Best Lawyers is a Third-party peer-review publication produced annually with no connection to the subjects. In other words, lawyers can't pay to be listed in Best Lawyers. Lawyers are nominated and confirmed by vote from their peers (i.e. other lawyers practicing the same specialty who are also recognized in Best Lawyers). Rankings are then checked against bar associations and sanctions to verify credentials and accuracy. While it is a corporate website in that a company produces the list, I believe the Best Lawyers publications hold weight as a reliable source as you described it. Can I provide any further clarifications to get my account unblocked? TBLIA1981 (talk) 20:10, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Still a WP:CORPNAME. We'll need something different. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:32, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not a reliable source and a conflict of interest given your connection. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:36, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
