User talk:Postscript159

November 2021
 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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:09, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi! I saw your post on my talk-page. Please don't edit while logged out – this page is open to you, you can comment or ask questions here. To be unblocked you'll need to choose a new username that represents you as an individual (no requirement for it to be a real name); and then make a request addressing the three bullet-points in the dirty yellow template above. Each of the three has roughly the same weight, but – for the sake of clarity – if your only interest here is to edit the National Research Foundation (South Africa) page then any request you make is likely to be declined. We don't allow promotion of any kind, and that includes corporate/institutional promotion. Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:44, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi, Postscript. I'm willing to discuss this. We don't want you to directly edit the article about the NRF or other articles associated with it, or to make direct edits about the NRF/its employees/etc on other articles. What we'd like you to do is make edit requests at the article talk pages, which you can read about at Edit requests.
 * You'll also need to disclose your conflict of interest on your User Page, which is at User:Postscript159 (if you click on that redlink, you can create that page, or if you'd like me to create it for you, I'm happy to do that). There are directions for posting the disclosure statement at Conflict of interest.
 * Does that sound okay to you? —valereee (talk) 11:53, 2 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Valereee. Your suggestion is fine with me. However, as I am currently under a permanent block, I can't create a User Page for myself so I request that you please create one for me (or at the very least amend the block so that I can). I will undertake the rest of your suggestions. Thanks for your response.

 * @Justlettersandnumbers, do you have any objection to my unblocking this user, who has agreed not to edit directly around their areas of conflict of interest? valereee (talk) 16:52, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking, . Please do whatever you think best here – I have no objection whatsoever to an unblock under the conditions outlined above. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:25, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, JLaN! Postscript, I have unblocked. You can edit your user page to add the COI, or let me know if you need help, and once you've done that you're free to make edit requests at the articles in question. valereee (talk) 18:37, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
