Username
Hi there, you may want to consider changing your username, as business names are not allowed as usernames. Usernames implying shared use are also prohibited, per the username policy. Thanks. — AP 499D25  (talk)  12:07, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. 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  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: 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  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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:35, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the 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.

I have merged your requests, only a single open request is needed. 331dot (talk) 19:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

In your deleted draft, you declared a conflict of interest, but here you say you aren't affiliated with the company. Please explain this contradictory information. 331dot (talk) 19:23, 21 May 2023 (UTC)


 * And a simple search does turn up evidence of an affiliation. Please reconsider your words. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 03:52, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I apologize for any confusion and would like to clarify the situation. I am affiliated with the company, that's why I declared a conflict of interest. I want to change the username from AvidBeam to my personal name so, that I can edit as me not with the company name. However, I am not denying that there is any affiliation.
 * I would like to apologize and emphasize that my intention when writing the article was not to market AvidBeam or its products. Instead, my goal was to showcase the technology utilized, its development, and applications.
 * Regarding the previous article, I agree that if it showed any marketing incentives, it should be deleted. However, I would appreciate it if the block could be removed so that I can submit another draft, with a clear focus on the technology and its history. I will take care with my wording and the structure of the article to ensure that it meets the guidelines.
 * I apologize again for any confusion but I would like to request the block to be removed and if the article does not meet the guidelines then delete it but give me an opportunity to re-write it. This was my first ever attempt in writing a wikipedia article and I wasn't done, I just saved it as a draft for me to continue editing and making sure it meets the guidelines.

 * You will need to make another unblock request. In that, you will need to explain why in your first request you were dishonest with us.  This entire matter is going to need to be confronted clearly and with full openness to have any chance at unblocking. If you are an employee, the Terms of Use will require you to make the formal paid editing disclosure.  As you are blocked, you may do so on this page and we can transfer it to your user page. 331dot (talk) 08:40, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't have to get past your first paragraph to see that this was some of the most promotional text I have ever seen on Wikipedia. If you weren't trying to promote, you failed. Note that it doesn't matter if you were promoting the technology itself rather than the company- it's still promotion. You had no independent reliable sources at all. 331dot (talk) 08:43, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Please place new posts at the bottom for proper discussion flow. Someone else will review your request. 331dot (talk) 10:33, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

This does not address why you were dishonest with us, you said initially "So I am not affiliated with the company". It's hard to trust when someone is dishonest. 331dot (talk) 10:35, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I said it was a poor choice of words. What I meant was that I wanted the username to not be the company's name, so it would be my personal username and then that I would edit for the company. I have showed that. I am affiliated with the company from day one when I stated the conflict of interest. But what i meant when i said not affiliated with the company is that I wanted the username to not be the company's name but my own. AvidBeamTechnologies (talk) 10:50, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * If English is not your first language, then I'd be willing to consider that this was a misunderstanding. The reviewing admin can make a ruling based on these discussions. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:34, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
