This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Shahidusmanbalwa, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username.

If you choose to keep your current username, please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. Please do not send documentation without being requested to do so.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here:.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page here:.

Thank you. 331dot (talk) 17:56, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Instead of thinking of it as "my own page", it should be thought of as an article about you. It's not any different than the New York Times writing about you. 331dot (talk) 12:01, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Inappropriate edits
Taking a look at your contributions, almost all were inappropriate. Either uncited (WP:CITE) or blatant marketing speak (WP:PROMO). It looks like you were WP:GAMING, trying to get your edit count up. If unblocked, we expect your future edits will be significantly different from the edits you've made so far. -- Yamla (talk) 12:10, 6 November 2022 (UTC)


 * yes i know i was just making edits to get 10 edit counts so i could change my spouse details on the shahid balwa article.  could you just review the correct spouse name as Asimah balwa and update.
 * This was deeply inappropriate of you. The Instagram isn't a reliable source. The account is private and isn't verified. Please reread WP:RS. Additionally, your open unblock request above is inappropriate and you should take it down. --Yamla (talk) 12:22, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

oh my bad i have no idea what to do and how to make changes and just make my wife happy.

i accept that i made really poor edits just to get a certain number which is totally unacceptable as is called game playing. i did not know that i shouldn't have done that just to be able to reach a certain number in order to be able to edit the semi protected article in question. I assure you that is no longer what i would do. Yes please be assured my future edits will be significantly different and will be actual contributions — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shahidusmanbalwa (talk • contribs)

Modifying declined unblock requests
You are not permitted to modify (or remove) declined unblock requests for your currently active block, as you did here. Do not do so again. --Yamla (talk) 17:34, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Identity verified
I will be happy to lift the block if you commit to following WP:SOCK and WP:GAMING and WP:RS. A simple commitment is sufficient on the first two, and a brief explanation on why your wife's instagram account isn't a reliable source would be okay for the last one. This is what I'm looking for in order to lift the block. Other admins are free to review your above request without any further response from you, if they wish. --Yamla (talk) 12:37, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I have gone through everything that was pointed out to me by the admins and specifically yamla admin and i fully see now, the grave errors that i made, i accept that i made poor edits to get which is totally unacceptable as is called game playing. i did not know that i shouldn't have done that. I assure you that is no longer what i would do. the other being socking- i made no other accounts of my own. i asked someone else who i thought knew how Wikipedia works and asked them if they could make the changes for me. I have no other account neither have i made any other account on my own. anyway i further commit that i shall not try and seek to make any additions or changes without accurate source input.
 * And i see now that instagram is not a credible source as the account is not blue ticked or verified. I have emailed send marriage certificate and offered any other legal document required to verify the same
 * Please excuse my naivety on this portal as i did not know how to go about it but now i understand and will duly follow. Shahidusmanbalwa (talk) 12:51, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

thankyouuu for lifting the block but my username page still seems to be blocked indefinitely for sockpuppetery. can you please lift that as well as i understand now what infact sockpuppetry is and for sure won't be partaking in that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shahidusmanbalwa (talk • contribs)
 * You are free to remove that; you are not blocked from doing so. Note that you did indeed violate WP:SOCK but as you are not currently blocked (i.e. are an editor in good standing), there's no pressing need to leave that notice on your user page. --Yamla (talk) 13:14, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
