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. If you are having trouble, you may want to try using the unblock wizard.
Before requesting a new username, check if it is still available. If the search says “There is no global account for [username]”, the username is free to use.
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 edit. Alexf(talk) 00:20, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

It’s me Syed Zulfiqar Gilani
If you are unblocked, what topic areas will you edit in?
I just want to edit my article which is already on Wikipedia
Is there anything else that may be helpful to your unblock request?
Please give me a way to edit my article. Please also guide me that whether I can include my YouTube channel name in my article or not. Gilani Logs (talk) 05:38, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Please confirm that you want the entirety of “Zulfiqar Gilani, Gilani Syed, Syed Zulfiqar Gilani” as your new username. If not, please choose one of those. Please review the autobiography policy and tell us how you will contribute about yourself in the future. 331dot (talk) 09:21, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- I want entirety of Zulfiqar Gilani.
- This was my username in 2012 when I uploaded my article which is still on Wikipedia.
- I am a history vlogger at YouTube under the title of “Gilani Logs” (my YouTube channel name). I visit several historical places and talk to authentic sources about these archeological sites and heritage of Pakistan for my channel. I can contribute this information for Wikipedia. Gilani Logs (talk) 10:05, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- “Zulfiqar Gilani” is taken; if you’re saying you created that account, you may use it once this block is removed(not before); if you have forgotten the password you may be able to usurp that username but that is not done via this process; please propose something else.
- I didn’t ask you to tell me about yourself, I asked you to read the autobiography policy and tell me what will change about how you edit about yourself.
- Note that your interviews and YouTube content would not be acceptable sources. Interviews are not independent sources(being the subject speaking about themselves) and social media like YouTube is not a reliable source as it is user-generated without editorial oversight and fact checking(unless the channel belongs to a reputable news outlet and is verified as such). 331dot (talk) 10:11, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- I want to remove my date of birth and place of birth from my article and also add the word “Vlogger” to my profession. Along with this, I also want to add the name of my YouTube channel “Gilani Logs”.
- If it is according to Wikipedia policy.
- Apart from this, I do not want to edit anything in my article.
- As for the authenticity of Wikipedia, I have proven it wrong many times with the help of ground realities in my vlogs. Many Wikipedia articles about Pakistan Heritage are based on old information and when I go there, a lot has changed which Wikipedia does not update.
- But this is not my discussion, my aim is only to correct my article. Gilani Logs (talk) 10:59, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- Your date of birth is not presently in the article about you as far as I can see. I removed your location of birth.
- Now that you’ve read the autobiography policy, how will you contribute to the article about you? 331dot (talk) 13:46, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- I have read the autobiography policy thoroughly. I agree with the Wikipedia policies about bios.
- Thank you very much for correction and editing. Can you please make another correction in my article
- My name is Syed Zulfiqar Gilani. Can this be added to the name given in brackets?
- Syed is my cast and I would like to add it to my name.
- There is no mention of my profession as a “History Vlogger” or adding my channel name “Gilani Logs” to the article.
- Here is the link of my YouTube channel link so you can verify it.
- www.youtube.com/gilanilogs
- If possible, please reply. Gilani Logs (talk) 14:05, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- My photograph is authenticated and confirmed. You can identify it through my videos on YouTube. Can it be included in my article? Gilani Logs (talk) 14:10, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
