 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, organisation, group, or 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. 331dot (talk) 08:08, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Please review the username policy; this username is not acceptable. If you want the name of your journal as part of your username, you may format it as "JohnDoe of VLR" or "JohnDoe of VermontLawReview" or something similar. Please review conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 08:44, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I would like to request my block be appealed. I appreciate the admins helping me through this process and I'm not sure what next steps I can take. I do not receive any compensation for my contributions to Wikipedia. I am a technology editor with the Vermont Law Review, which is an unpaid position, and I hold this account in my personal capacity. I understand I was initially blocked for my username and promotional edits. However, I have since changed my username. Also, I will be careful not to use promotional language and when I edit Vermont Law Review's page. Among other changes, I will be especially mindful to stay away from unnecessary descriptors. In regard to future contributions, I wish to update the "notable contributors" section with the most recent authors published in Vol 45 of the journal. I also wish to update the various types of publications VLR offers, mainly its new legal blog which is composed of short academic articles from various authors. I did not intend to violate Wikipedia's guidelines, and I have taken steps to ensure that I will not violate the guidelines again. Thank you for considering my appeal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kent Ledger of VLR (talk • contribs)
 * You already have an open request, only one open request at a time is needed. Admins are volunteers who do what they can when they can, so you will need to continue to be patient. I can't review a request by you, so it's not up to me, but I would submit that you are unlikely to be unblocked if you only intend to edit about your journal. 331dot (talk) 22:18, 9 April 2021 (UTC)


 * , I am considering your unblock request. I am willing to unblock you on the condition that you agree to not directly edit pages related to your conflict of interest (that is, the Vermont Law Review and anything/anyone substantially associated with it), and instead make edit requests for the changes you want added. Is that an acceptable condition? GeneralNotability (talk) 22:45, 14 May 2021 (UTC)


 * , Thank you for working with me through this process. I think this is a fair solution. I accept your conditions. I will not directly edit pages related to the Vermont Law Review or anything substantially associated with it. Instead, I will make an edit request for the changes I want to be added to those pages.Kent Ledger of VLR (talk) 06:35, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
