User talk:DaveGeeWales

August 2019
There have been two problems with this account: 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 also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

As a PS... If you do get unblocked, and wish to edit constructively, having regard to all the guidance and policies to which I directed you above, please ensure that you do not mark your edits (such as this) as "minor" when they are quite obviously not. See WP:MINOR for guidance. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:28, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

This is not a response to your unblock request, but among the many links I provided earlier there is WP:NOTPROMOTION - which I suggest you read. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:41, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

This proposed username is too close to that of an existing user. Please select a different username - you can modify your request, above, in order to do so. Yunshui 雲 水 09:08, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
