[[File:Ambox warning blue.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, “<strong>SpringerCommunicationsDirector</strong>”, may not comply with our [[Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]]. Please note that you <strong>may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website</strong>. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include “XYZ Company”, “MyWidgetsUSA.com”, and “Foobar Museum of Art”. However, you are permitted to use a username that <em>contains</em> such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as “Sara Smith at XYZ Company”, “Mark at WidgetsUSA”, or “FoobarFan87”, but <em>not</em> “SEO Manager at XYZ Company”.
#”’Disclose”’ any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|paid-contribution disclosure]] requirement; and

#”’Describe”’ in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
#”’Provide”’ a new username.
To do this, insert the text <!– Copy the text as it appears on your page, not as it appears in this edit area. –><code><nowiki>{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}</nowiki></code> at the bottom of your talk page.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can [[Special:CentralAuth|search]] to 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 still available.

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, website, or role, 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 follow all these steps:
- 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.
To do this, insert the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} 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.
Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to 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 still available.
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 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} 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. Mfield (Oi!) 02:59, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
