User talk:SLDurham

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. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 14:52, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

There is a "Sarah durham" account already, so you will need to choose something else. No need to make a completely new request, simply edit your existing request to replace "Sarah durham" with a new choice. You will also need to address the issues I raise above, though someone else will review your request. 331dot (talk) 11:12, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

rename request
I assume that you do not want "your proposed new" as part of your username? 331dot (talk) 14:28, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * , pretty sure they just copied the example from the block message including "Your proposed new username" and replaced "username" with the desired username. I guess it's a reasonable mistake to make if you don't know that we use the pipe character as a parameter separator. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:10, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've fixed this unblock to request username change, it's available. Anyone have an objection to unblocking so she can make that request? @331dot @Daniel Case @HJ Mitchell? —valereee (talk) 12:05, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I have renamed, she still needs to address the promotional aspect of the block. 331dot (talk) 15:55, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

unblock request

 * Hi, SLDurham. I'm willing to discuss this. We don't want you to directly edit the article about your employer or articles associated with them, or to make direct edits about the it/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:SLDurham (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)
