User talk:Miles Layton

July 2019
There have been two problems with this account: 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 also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 15:08, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Chowan Herald
UNBLOCK Chowan Herald is the newspaper for Chowan County, North Carolina.Chowan Herald (talk) 15:45, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * To make a formal unblock request, and for it to be properly seen, please follow the instructions above. Note that business accounts are not permitted, accounts are for individuals only. 331dot (talk) 16:52, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Per unblocking, I'm trying to create our newspaper's wiki page. I'm not a business, I just want to create the wiki page same as any other newspaper in the country. Do I have to log in as an individual to do create the page? Is there a way I can change my USER ID so I can do this? System says I'm blocked. I can't even use this computer because of IP address. Thx -- mlayton@ncweeklies.com

And is there a way to get the work I put in the system back so I can create this page? It is saved somewhere? Chowan Herald (talk) 18:13, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * What was the name of the page? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it is not an advertising venue. Please see the relevant notability requirement-- WP:NCORP. If the page was deleted under WP:CSD, it will need to be created from scratch. If you only purpose is to write about the Chowan Herald, the you probably will not be unblocked.

 * I've located the content. I'll email it to you. I don't know if you're interested, but I've just learned of a site with less stringent requirements than Wikipedia, Wikialpha]. Hope that helps.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:04, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Someone else will review your request, but please note that newspapers do not have "wiki pages" here that are controlled or created by them; newspapers have Wikipedia articles about them here, if they meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization, written at WP:ORG(please review) as shown with independent reliable sources. Wikipedia has no interest in what an article subject wants to say about itself. Please read WP:COI and WP:PAID. You will need to indicate what you want to edit about other than your newspaper to be unblocked. 331dot (talk) 18:38, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
