 Your account has been indefinitely blocked 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of 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: 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. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  20:22, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.

 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

MRLA Media LLC (talk) 05:29, 6 February 2023 (UTC) That would at least on the face of it be OK. But what is your connection to Johnny La? Is he a client? Daniel Case (talk) 07:30, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * According to the company's website, Johnny La is the company's founder.


 * You should review the conflict of interest guidelines, as well as the notability criteria for people and policy on biographies of living persons. Wikipedia does not accept articles about people unless there is evidence that they are sufficiently notable for inclusion.


 * If you are Johnny La, then please review Wikipedia's guidance on autobiographies, as well as the essays that explain that Wikipedia is not about you and that a Wikipedia article about you isn't something to which you should aspire.


 * If you are not Johnny La, but are employed by MRLA Media, then you an undisclosed paid editor and need to make the mandatory disclosures that this policy demands. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:09, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello. Yes, I am Johnny La. However, I'm not requesting a an unban for my article. I'm requesting an unban so that I can contribute to Wikipedia, since I've been a user of it for more than a decade now. Should I pursue an article for myself in the future, I will leave that to someone else who will write an unbiased page for me. Thank you. MRLA Media LLC (talk) 21:00, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I would also like to add that I was only expecting a rejection of my article at the time, not an IP address ban. I thought that it was a bit extreme and harsh from the previous moderator. Thank you. MRLA Media LLC (talk) 21:03, 6 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't know of any IP ban. As far as I know, an unregistered editor can still edit the draft. However, blocking your account for its original username was correct in accordance with Wikipedia's username policy. Accounts that are named after a company and create/edit articles related to said company are blockable on those grounds alone.
 * If you're willing to be an individual contributor, editing topics that are unrelated to any conflict of interest you may have, then that would be acceptable. Admins may wish you to state what types of topics you plan to edit before agreeing to unblock your account. Just FYI, I am not an admin user. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:49, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was trying to register with a new username to comply with Wikipedia terms, and it stated that my IP has been banned. But yes, I just want to be unbanned so that I can contribute in the future. The topics are usually in the entertainment industry, since I'm in the acting industry myself. If possible, I would like to request an unban here. Thank you. MRLA Media LLC (talk) 03:31, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * When an account is blocked(not banned, which is different), the underlying IP is usually autoblocked to prevent just what you were attempting to do- create a new account, as that would be block evasion. You may not edit under any account or IP until this block is removed. You have proposed a new username, the account will be renamed before you are unblocked. 331dot (talk) 18:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)


 * the editor had agreed to a name change, and undertaken not to try to create an article about himself again. As far as I can see that covers the reasons for the block. Do you have any reason why the block shouldn't be lofted?
 * Johnny La, I shall be happy to rename your account. However, once it is changed, if you try to log in under your old username, you will get a message telling you that the username or password is wrong, which might make you think that you have lost access to your account. You can in fact simply log in with the new username, and the same password as before, but I like to warn editors before changing their usernames, to avoid confusion. When you have read this message, post a message here telling me that you are ready for the name change to go ahead. In that message include the text and make sure you sign the post by including ~. I will then be automatically notified of your message JBW (talk) 19:31, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi JBW, thank you. Yes, I am ready for the name change and unblock. MRLA Media LLC (talk) 20:24, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You didn't "ping" me, as I advised you to, so I didn't get automatically notified. Luckily, I decided to check back to see if you had answered,  so I did see your message, but you can't assume that people will necessarily look back at your page to see whether you have answered. You should bear that in mind for the future. Anyway, since I did see your message, I have renamed your account from "MRLA Media LLC" to "Heeromyman". As for the unblock, although I don't see any reason not to do it, I prefer to wait to see whether the blocking administrator has anything to say about it. I hope that won't take too long, but you may have to be patient for a little while longer. JBW (talk) 22:43, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to assume good faith here. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  02:32, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Heeromyman (talk) 04:21, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Yes, will keep in mind about the ping. Heeromyman (talk) 04:21, 8 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I have unblocked your account. I hope you will now be able to have a successful time contributing to Wikipedia. JBW (talk) 08:19, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
