 Your account has been indefinitely blocked 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 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. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Alexf(talk) 19:37, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * 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.


 * @Thegreatinvertebrate - Are you meaning to post another appeal to your block? If so, you should reformat your post as needed.


 * Also @Yamla - apologies for the ping, but this editor seems to be a genuine enthusiast who could contribute constructively to articles about these creatures (and others). Provided, of course, that they disclose their affiliation with the blog (https://thegreatinvertebrate.com/) and change their username (which it looks like they tried to do above). Perhaps if they cite or link their website again, that can be taken as a violation of their unblock conditions and they go right back to being blocked.
 * Of course I’m not an admin and you guys have the final say, but I think we’d be losing out on a great editor here by blocking them. They make a decently compelling case. —  That Coptic Guy  (let's talk?) (contribs) 22:10, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I have no objections to an unblock, though note I'm not the blocking admin. However, they need to demonstrate they understand WP:COI and WP:SPAM. --Yamla (talk) 11:28, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I do want to note that I don't have an objection to an unblock either, provided that the reason for the block (as Yamla notes above) is understood, so that it does not become an issue if the editor is unblocked and resumes editing. - Aoidh (talk) 04:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
