User talk:DoreenSkitude

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. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:36, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

user blocked
Hello, I understand my user was blocked because I started editing a page for the brand I work for, Skitude. I find Wikipedia terribly complicated to create an article, but I'm trying. I was just checking how this works and just wrote two lines of text in order to have something, but we are working on a more elaborate text and it is definitely not the idea to make it a promotional page like you suggest. Can you please give me access again and give me at least a chance to make it up instead of just blocking me indefinitely without any warning? I don't think that's really fair. Thanks


 * If you want to be considered for an unblock, you must follow the procedure in the box above, no one will see your comment above except me, and I won't consider any unblock request since that wouldn't be fair on you. You ignored, or didn't read, our guidance on choosing a user name, which specifically bans using a company name, you also ignored, or didn't read, our guidance on writing articles, which includes conflict of interest and paid editing. I'm not clear why you feel that it's unfair that you are blocked when you have made no effort to follow our rules


 * You should be aware that you will not be unblocked anyway if your only aim is to write about your company. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  14:50, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Wow that's rude...I feel like I'm accused of a serious crime here. But I'll ignore that. I only want to know why we wouldn't be allowed to have a Wikipedia page, if Strava (among many other brands) has one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strava) and Skitude is basically like Strava but for skiers. I would appreciate if you could explain that to me. Thanks DoreenSkitude (talk) 15:10, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


 * An account user name that represents a company or product will be blocked for that reason alone. If it has been used for promotion as well, it will be a hard block, which prevents creating a new account. That's what happened here. The article you mentioned doesn't help you It has proper references, a fairly neutral tone and a controversy section, so it's reasonably balanced. It was not created by a user with a banned user name. Anyway, if you think I've got it wrong, please read the pink box carefully, and if you still wish to appeal write below this line. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:55, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
