 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: To do this, 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.
 * 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.

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  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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:05, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Subject: Request for Account Unblock and Reversion of Changes
 * Dear Sir/Ma'am,
 * I hope this message finds you well. My name is Arjun Raizada, and I serve as the current chairperson of SEDS India, an integral part of the SEDS community.
 * Recently, I took the initiative to update the information on our SEDS India page, as I noticed several outdated details that needed correction. Using the official email address of SEDS India, I created an account and proceeded to make the necessary edits. Subsequently, I received confirmation of my email ID.
 * However, despite these measures, I discovered that my account has been unexpectedly blocked, and the changes I diligently made were reverted back. This has left me concerned and puzzled.
 * I kindly request your assistance in unblocking my account and reinstating the modifications I implemented. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated, as it is vital for maintaining accurate and up-to-date information regarding SEDS India.
 * Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly await your prompt response and support.
 * Warm regards,
 * Arjun Raizada

A request for clarification from the blocking administrator
Can you clarify the reasons for the block? In the block log you refer to "promotional edits", and above you say "your account has been used for advertising or promotion", but I am at a loss to see anything promotional about the editing, which as far as I can see appears to consist of factual updates and the like. However, perhaps I have not checked carefully enough, and have missed something relevant. What aspect of the editing do you see as promotional? JBW (talk) 15:02, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think you've missed anything, – if I recall correctly, I hesitated here over hard/soft, and had thought I'd opted for the latter – but clearly not. The subsequent message from the editor puts a slightly different on the question of promotion, but based on the information I had at the time, soft would have been the right choice. Please feel free to change as you think best. As for your reversion, I don't suppose a bit more unsourced content will make much difference in a page that consists of almost nothing else. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * SEDS India/Arjun, you'll need to change your username, as we don't allow names that represent an organisation or group. I can do that for you if you like – just let me know your chosen new name here on this page. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:40, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * thanks for your reply. Make the username @blackholesandsupernova if possible... SEDS India (talk) 18:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * OK. Do you mean that to be @blackholesandsupernova as you've written, or just 'Blackholesandsupernova'? – I won't know until I try whether the system will accept the former. Let me know? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * just 'blackholesandsupernova' SEDS India (talk) 15:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, that's done, Blackholesandsupernova, welcome to your new username. If you'd like your account to be unblocked, please read this page and this one, and then make whichever type of disclosure is appropriate – here on this page is fine for now; please note that I have no idea whether your position is as a volunteer or is remunerated. If you'd then kindly confirm that you understand – and intend to follow – our best-practice guidance for conflict-of-interest editors, I'll go ahead and lift the block. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:10, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for changing the username. As for the disclosure, I am neither a volunteer nor am I getting paid to write, I am the Chairperson for the organisation in question for the current term. Hence I made the changes. Blackholesandsupernova (talk) 18:26, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
