 * Hello, Pichemist. Thank you for your response. I see now I entered the citations and references incorrectly. I hyperlinked the references instead of "citing" them using the drop down menu. Apologies. However, when I try to fix it, I receive a message that I have been blocked because I'm "advertising" or "promoting." This is a movie called The Harbinger. I titled the article "The Harbinger (movie)" because there is another article titled "The Harbinger (film)." I tried my best to duplicate the formatting of their article and will continue to improve. I assure you this "Harbinger" is a legitimate movie just like them, with a more prominent cast, better distribution, more feedback from audience, and more views from the world. In fact, we have worldwide distribution and they only have domestic (US). I graciously and humbly request that you please unblock this article so that I can correct the formatting and citations. Thank you so much. Jay Mills Veteranfilms (talk) 20:06, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Your email
Hello. I received your email, but there is nothing in that email that requires confidential communication. Wikipedia is a project built on transparency the vast majority of the time. Your username is a policy violation and you attempted to promote the company that your username represents. Accordingly, you need to submit a fully responsive unblock request that addresses these issues. As for your draft article about a film, I do not have the time on New Year's Eve to do a detailed analysis, but on first glance, your draft is a terrible mess with many problems, and it is nowhere near ready for inclusion in the encyclopedia. I recommend that you spend several hours reading and re-reading and pondering and studying Your first article. Cullen328 (talk) 03:06, 1 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you truly for your response. As I stated, when I attempted to submit an "unblock" request, I was hit with a pop-up message that says the account is blocked. How do I submit an "unblock" request when I am blocked from making the request?
 * Regarding your comment about the article being a mess, I 100% agree. However, I am unable to edit the article, because when I attempt to, I am again hit with the same pop-up that the account is blocked. Nothing has been edited since the first draft, because the account was blocked.
 * Regarding the username being a policy violation and promoting the company, this confuses me. The only goal is to set up an article about a film called The Harbinger. There is another film with the same title. That film also has a wikipedia article, and yet the film my article is about has more notable cast, distribution, and a higher quantity of positive feedback from audience on legitimate film websites like imdb, rotten tomatoes, Amazon, etc. How is this violating the policy or promoting, or any different than the other film titled The Harbinger?
 * I don't expect you to look at this on New Year's Eve. Thank you so much. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Veteranfilms (talk) 07:50, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * If you can comment here on your own talk page, as you have clearly have done in response to my message, then you can assuredly also file a properly formatted unblock request. Just follow the directions above and file it correctly. Cullen328 (talk) 09:48, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Talk, yes. Request an unblock, no. I wish I could show you a screenshot. I will try other avenues. Thank you and Happy New Year. Veteranfilms (talk) 21:27, 1 January 2023 (UTC)


 * This is not a business, nor am I promoting or selling a product. Thank you. Veteranfilms (talk) 18:33, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * To clear up confusion, I have requested a new username: Veteran 1945. I am not a business, nor am I promoting or attempting to sell a product. Thank you. Veteranfilms (talk) 18:34, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 331dot declined also declined my "unblock" request, but I am not allowed to reply to that user. Therefore, I will reply here. The company that made this film is not in business, nor are they promoting or selling anything. Additionally, it is not a violation of wiki guidelines for a film production company to ask someone to set up a Wikipedia article. Many films on Wikipedia were set up this way. A Wiki article has facts, not opinions. The facts are backed up with citations. Hopefully 331dot will see this response, as I am blocked from responding to them. Thank you.

 * I have no idea why you are unable to copy, paste and fill in the unblock template right here on your user talk page. I have never heard of this problem before. Try WP:UTRS instead. 21:33, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
