Be aware, this user simultaneously attempted to get unblocked at [[User talk:Kumar Vikas Singh]], despite knowing multiple accounts are restricted by [[WP:SOCK]]. –[[User:Yamla|Yamla]] ([[User talk:Yamla|talk]]) 13:22, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:14, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) Hi there! Additionally, could you disclose what your connection to NovoPath is, and why you tried to create a draft about it? Thanks, GoldRomean (talk) 14:05, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
- And one more thing: is the Kumar Vikas Singh user account also yours? —DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:11, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, the “Kumar Vikas Singh” account you mentioned is also mine. I understand that using multiple accounts in this way was a mistake, and I will only use one account going forward. I do not intend to use the “Kumar Vikas Singh” account any more and I am happy for it to remain blocked or unused; I will not create any new accounts. NovoPath1 (talk) 05:00, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- You haven’t answered this question from GoldRomean:
could you disclose what your connection to NovoPath is, and why you tried to create a draft about it?
. –MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:38, 25 December 2025 (UTC)- Thank you for the follow‑up. I am not an employee, founder or owner of NovoPath, and I have not been paid by the company or by anyone else to write about it. My only connection is that I am interested in laboratory information systems and, after reading about NovoPath in independent sources, I tried to help by drafting an article based on those sources. I understand that company‑related topics need to be handled very carefully under Wikipedia’s conflict‑of‑interest guidelines, and if the draft is accepted I will use the article’s talk page for any future suggestions so that independent editors can decide what to include. NovoPath1 (talk) 10:40, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- When you uploaded (using your Kumar Vikas Singh account) the company’s logo c:File:NovoPath Image.png, you marked it as your own work, and added the description “About my company”. How could that be, if you have no connection with this company? — DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:06, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message, and apologies for the delay in responding.
- At the time, I did not fully understand Wikipedia’s copyright and conflict-of-interest rules. I uploaded the logo while testing the upload process and selected the wrong option by mistake. I did not intend to claim ownership of the logo or suggest any official connection with the company.
- I now understand that logos and copyrighted material should only be uploaded by the rightful owner or with proper permission. I will follow all Wikipedia guidelines carefully and will not repeat this mistake. NovoPath1 (talk) 13:20, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
- It’s actually the “About my company” bit which I find more telling. — DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:34, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarifying.
- I understand how the phrase “about my company” could reasonably be interpreted as implying ownership or an official connection. That was not my intention. I used that wording mistakenly while testing the upload interface and did not mean to suggest that I own or represent the company in any capacity.
- I understand now why this was inappropriate, and I will be more careful with wording and process in the future. Thank you for pointing this out. NovoPath1 (talk) 05:16, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, I’m just following up on my response from 30 December.
- Thank you for your time and guidance NovoPath1 (talk) 13:09, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hello,
- I just wanted to gently follow up on my previous responses in case they were missed. Thank you for your time and consideration.
- Kind regards NovoPath1 (talk) 13:47, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
- I haven’t been convinced by your explanations, at least not enough to lift the block which I placed. You are welcome to appeal by lodging another unblock request which will be reviewed by a different administrator. (Your previous appeal was declined on 28 December, and there is currently no open appeal pending on this account.) — DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:55, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:
NovoPath1 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
- I am requesting a review of my block by a different administrator, as suggested.
- I acknowledge that I made serious mistakes while learning how Wikipedia works. I used a promotional-style username, attempted to draft an article about a company, and incorrectly uploaded a logo while testing the upload process. I now understand that these actions violated Wikipedia’s conflict-of-interest, username, and copyright policies.
- I want to clearly state that I do not own, represent, or work for NovoPath. I was not paid to write about it. My actions were due to lack of understanding, not an intent to promote or mislead. I fully accept responsibility for my errors.
- Since then, I have carefully read Wikipedia’s policies, especially those related to conflict of interest, usernames, promotional editing, and file uploads. I understand that I should not directly create or edit articles about companies and should instead use talk pages or Articles for Creation, or avoid such topics entirely.
- If unblocked, I commit to:
- • Using only one account
- • Not uploading copyrighted material
- • Editing only in a neutral, policy-compliant way
- I respectfully ask for one opportunity to continue contributing responsibly and to demonstrate that I have learned from this experience.
- Thank you for your time and consideration.
Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
- Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing “blocking administrator” with the name of the blocking admin:
