User talk:Ioncounter

September 2014

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

• Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
• Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
• Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 15:06, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

Please unblock my account and change my user-name. I have now read the Wikipedia username policy, spam guidelines and the policy of neutrality. I admit that I was not aware of several aspects explained in your guidlines, but I certainly agree with all terms. I neither intended any spamming, nor did I intend to advertise. The changes I made where intended to increase the informative value of the edited page. Though, I accept that the Wikipedia administration has to be strict with regards to any edits appearing promotional. I assure that any future edits would be according to the Wikipedia guidelines. I intend to edit pages in the future relating to some Chemistry subjects.

Accept reason:

As long as you're willing to avoid making direct edits to the article OpenChrom in the future (requested edits on the talkpage are acceptable, though), I see no reason not to lift the block. You will need to do a couple of things at this juncture. Firstly, please make a change of username request at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Secondly, since it seems that you work for OpenChron, you should divulge your conflict of interest on your userpage. After that, you can carry on editing freely (with the aforementioned exception of direct edits to OpenChrom). Yunshui ^雲_水 10:49, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
