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.

 * But do you have any connection to the company? And if, after reviewing our conflict of interest policy (short version), you come to the conclusion you cannot make any edits about the company, what else would you be interested in editing about? Daniel Case (talk) 07:16, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, I do have a connection to the company as I am an employee of the organization. However, I understand that this creates a conflict of interest and I will not make any further edits about the company on Wikipedia.
 * After reviewing your conflict of interest policy, I understand the importance of maintaining neutrality on Wikipedia and will be more mindful of this in the future. If it is acceptable, I would like to continue making contributions to Wikipedia and would be happy to edit topics that do not have any connection to my company or any other potential conflicts of interest.
 * Thank you for your understanding. BolanaOfficial (talk) 17:42, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Just FYI, being employed by the company you're writing about means that the paid editing disclosure policy still applies. You don't have to be paid specifically to edit Wikipedia - mere employment is enough to trigger it.
 * In regards to 's question, can you describe some general topic areas - unrelated to your company - that you would be interested in editing? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your clarification on the paid editing disclosure policy. I understand that my employment with the company means that the policy applies, even if I am not being paid specifically to edit Wikipedia.
 * I am interested in contributing to Wikipedia in areas unrelated to my company, and some topic areas that I am particularly interested in include science and technology, environmental issues, and history. I am committed to following all of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies to ensure that my contributions are neutral and of high quality. 2604:3D09:6282:2A00:64A5:3B49:D1:3A8B (talk) 21:49, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for answering the questions above. Can you please pick a specific article that you would like to edit, and briefly outline (one sentence should suffice) a change or addition that you would make to the article? This will help admin determine if you correctly understand Wikipedia's editing policies and guidelines. Ensure that the source for the information is included in this answer. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 02:54, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
