:(Query from the blocking admin) I’ll await the decision of an uninvolved admin, but I’d like to just ask: are you seriously saying chose “Qblox” as your username, and yet your only relationship with the company is “just trying to get information about the company’s scientific patents and achievements around quantum error correction”? A company about which you wrote a large, promotional page in a single edit? Might you want to reconsider your reply to that question? Because it’s quite hard to believe your relationship with Qblox isn’t closer than what you say. How is writing up that page going to “get information” about Qblox’s scientific patents and achievements? It looks more like ”giving” information about their patents and achievements. Are you employed by the company, or paid for writing about them on Wikipedia? [[User:Bishonen|Bishonen]] | [[User talk:Bishonen|tålk]] 21:50, 5 February 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. Bishonen | tålk 21:11, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This user’s request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

What is your relationship with the subjects you have been editing about?
I was just trying to get information about the company’s scientific patents and achievements around quantum error correction
If you are unblocked, what topic areas will you edit in?

I have on and off been a consultant to the company. Currently no. I understand and respect what you are saying regarding the commercial nature. May I ask if I can post information that would be similar to this posting, with the focus around the science: Shor’s algorithm Qblox (talk) 22:00, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t know, since the first question is whether you will be unblocked. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for an uninvolved admin to review your unblock request for that. That admin will no doubt notice that you haven’t replied to my question as to whether you are or have been paid for writing about Qblox on Wikipedia. It would be better to give a straight reply to that, because it’s important; see WP:PAID. Bishonen | tålk 22:08, 5 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]

I have not been paid to write about Qblox on Wikipedia Qblox (talk) 22:12, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Now I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait. Bishonen | tålk 22:34, 5 February 2026 (UTC).[reply]
