 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, 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.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * 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; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * Provide a new username.

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, 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. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 17:40, 2 May 2024 (UTC)


 * So tell me what I can do to rectify the issue I am trying to help support a band i did an interview with by giving them a reference/citation? Thenwothm (talk) 18:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is specifically not the place to support a band. You need to pick a username that adheres to WP:USERNAME. You need to read, thoroughly understand, and then tell us how you plan to comply with WP:COI. You need to convince us you understand why it was inappropriate for you to link to an interview you did. And you need to tell us how your future edits would differ from your prior edits. So far, the impression I'm getting is that you think you did nothing wrong. Until you understand what you did wrong and convince us you won't repeat that, we need to leave you blocked. --Yamla (talk) 18:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * This is the first time i have used this site in this way and considering im on the spectrum maybe i didnt understand everything that was written. This seems a lot more trouble than its worth. im just going to delte this account and forget this ever happened. Thenwothm (talk) 19:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is indeed weird. It's distinctly unlike most other sites out there. If this is your decision, I (really honestly) sincerely wish you well with your website. Your interviews demonstrate you very clearly enjoy what you do and it's really great to see that. I also enjoy that you interview a whole slew of bands I've never heard of. I'm truly impressed with the amount of content, the number of interviews and reviews, especially given the age of the site. I'm sorry Wikipedia wasn't a great experience. --Yamla (talk) 19:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Its just a shame that i just wanted our reference to be on this list for the band. We are a non profit site so my intentions were pure. But i appreciate your kind words

 * In order to be considered a reliable source by Wikipedia's standards, a source must have an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. your website's "about" page shows that it is barely over one year old, which doesn't seem like enough time to establish that kind of reputation.
 * As previously mentioned, your account name must be individual in nature. Wikipedia's username policy doesn't permit account names that represent companies or organizations. An account must represent a single individual who does not share access with anyone else.
 * Interviews with a subject would be considered a primary source, because they relate material from the people directly involved. While not outright disallowed, primary sources must be used with great care, because the potential for misuse is great.
 * Check out WikiProject Albums/Sources for examples of sources that are (and are not) considered to be reliable sources for music-related topics. The notability criteria for musicians might also be of interest to you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
