 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. 331dot (talk) 14:33, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

I fixed your request; you posted it with "nowiki" tags that prevented display. The list article you posted to is not a list of all gay bookstores that exist; only those that merit Wikipedia articles or at least have the prospect of one. You have the additional complication of being the business you are posting about, which is a severe confict of interest. If you own or work for the bookstore, you must declare as a paid editor. You have not proposed a new username as instructed. 331dot (talk) 15:01, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Fixed the template. Q  T C 15:10, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * As I said above, list articles are not for merely documenting existence. Typically a list article should not be added to until the topic being added has a Wikipedia article. It doesn't matter if the store is physical or virtual. To merit an article, the store must receive significant coverage in independent reliable sources that shows how the business meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable business. 331dot (talk) 17:37, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
