Your account has been blocked indefinitely 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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:
 * 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.

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. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Please understand that while Wikipedia strives to be accurate, it is not intended as a source of up to the minute current information; that's something you can provide on your own website. Wikipedia is interested in what independent reliable sources state about article subjects. There is a process for users with a COI to request edits, described at WP:ER, but you are unlikely to be unblocked to make edit requests, at least in the short term. As noted by, if there are other topics completely unrelated to your COI you want to edit about, please tell what those might be. Once you spend much time(months, if not a year) developing a good edit history showing that you understand Wikipedia guidelines, you may then be permitted to make edit requests. 331dot (talk) 11:31, 27 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for directing me to the Edit Request, I will use this. Apologies I am new to Wikipedia so was not aware of this process. Can I request that I am unblocked, as I am concerned this ban will affect my whole IP address. I understand that my previous edits were irresponsible as I had a conflict of interest, I am now aware of the appropriate process and will follow them in the future. I am a keen media academic and have a interest for many areas of pop culture for which I may want to contribute in the future. Thank you for your time again — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSyInstitute (talk • contribs)
 * You only need one open request; subsequent comments can be standard comments like this. I will change your username and leave your request for someone uninvolved to review. 331dot (talk) 11:52, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
