July 2024
 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it 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 follow all these steps: To do this, insert 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.
 * 1) Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * 2) 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
 * 3) Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * 4) Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to 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 still available.

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. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:27, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Josh,


 * Hi Josh, I hope this makes it to you.


 * Unblock requests are to ask for a third party to review the block. If you wish to negotiate with the blocking administrator, you don't need to make an unblock request. As a third party, I would ask you what your relationship with the subjects of your edits is. 331dot (talk) 15:28, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello 331dot. Thank you. Two years ago I developed a documentary on the 50s country western singer Mimi Roman. I learned about Mimi by accident and felt her story very interesting and notable. I located and contacted Mimi and she agreed to participate. The documentary is based on at least 50 hours of my interviews with Mimi Roman and hundreds of hours of research on my part. I paid for the development of the documentary myself, doing all writing and editing at home. I posted the documentary on YouTube, specifying no monetization. I just wanted to tell her amazing story. I showed an early clip of the documentary in progress to people at Sundazed Records. They ultimately decided to release an album of her earlier work and they offered me a 10% "finders fee" for bringing them the project, which I declined. I wrote the multipage liner notes to the album for free.  I'm nearly 70 years old and wanted to do something fun and meaningful. Money would have ruined it.
 * At this point, my relationship with the subject of my edits is "friendship." I inadvertently jumped into the deep end of Wikipedia by "using an improper username and then took that even further by "pasting" a long draft at the very start. I do have solid references for for basically everything. I'll study and better follow the Wikipedia guidelines and operation instructions if I'm allowed to try again. Thank you for your consideration.  Great Americana (talk) 16:54, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
