User talk:Offroader Gib

June 2020
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 other than promoting 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.

 * Wikipedia doesn't accept promotion in any form, paid or not. Your username is also a problem, since usernames can't represent organizations. You will need to choose a new username and to tell us how you plan to edit Wikipedia on subjects that aren't related to yourself or the club's activities. Please read WP:COI.

 * Yes I will use my personal name Alfred Balban as my username and if I can be guided in what I need to delete or change I would be great full to comply with all rules & regulations, which maybe one could be the sponsors which can be deleted without any problems. Our Social 4x4 network is Public and nothing or no one gets paid in any way or form. MarocAtlas Gibraltar 4x4 Club (talk) 22:01, 10 June 2020 (UTC)


 * You may not write about the 4x4 club - at all. It is a conflict of interest - with or without sponsors, you may not write about subjects in which you have a personal involvement.  Acroterion   (talk)   22:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)


 * It seems logical, no problem, thanks for your time MarocAtlas Gibraltar 4x4 Club (talk) 22:11, 10 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I will unblock you so you can request a rename - that should be your only activity until the account is renamed. I would advise against using your real name, though - you might want to choose something else. You can request the rename here   Acroterion   (talk)   22:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
