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.

A tag has been placed on User:E+E Leader Awards/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled “Contest this speedy deletion”. This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — ERcheck (talk) 17:58, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking to be unblocked to request a change in username.

SarahR-EEL (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

Request reason:

I understand that my original username made it appear this account represented a company. I am requesting a username change to SarahR-EEL. I also understand that Wikipedia requires a neutral tone and independent sourcing, and my intent is to contribute factual, well-sourced information about sustainability and energy management topics, not to promote any organization. I have already disclosed my affiliation with the Environment+Energy Leader Awards on my user page and will continue to follow Wikipedia’s COI and paid-editing disclosure policies.

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=SarahR-EEL | 3=I understand that my original username made it appear this account represented a company. I am requesting a username change to SarahR-EEL. I also understand that Wikipedia requires a neutral tone and independent sourcing, and my intent is to contribute factual, well-sourced information about sustainability and energy management topics, not to promote any organization. I have already disclosed my affiliation with the Environment+Energy Leader Awards on my user page and will continue to follow Wikipedia’s COI and paid-editing disclosure policies. | 4=~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=SarahR-EEL | reason=I understand that my original username made it appear this account represented a company. I am requesting a username change to SarahR-EEL. I also understand that Wikipedia requires a neutral tone and independent sourcing, and my intent is to contribute factual, well-sourced information about sustainability and energy management topics, not to promote any organization. I have already disclosed my affiliation with the Environment+Energy Leader Awards on my user page and will continue to follow Wikipedia’s COI and paid-editing disclosure policies. | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after “decline=”, a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=SarahR-EEL | reason=I understand that my original username made it appear this account represented a company. I am requesting a username change to SarahR-EEL.

@E+E Leader Awards – It appears that you may have had assistance from AI to write your reasons. Please use your own words.

It is not just an “appearance” of an account that represents a company. On your user page – “This account is operated by representatives of the Environment+Energy Leader Awards” – you declared this as a “group” account operated by “representatives” (plural).
Your sandbox page promotes your company.

yes, and I will update that as soon as you approve the user name change. With the user name change, the description will then reflect my role as an administrator. E+E Leader Awards (talk) 19:02, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have renamed your account. Another uninvolved admin will review your unblock request. PhilKnight (talk) 19:11, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Hi @SarahR-EEL, can you please explain how you’ll follow the policies you’ve mentioned, in your own words? Also, how many people have access to this account? Blue Sonnet (talk) 02:57, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One person has access to this account (me). I’d like to help update some things I have seen that are several years out of date. Such as this page: List of environmental awards – Wikipedia. While it continues to rank pretty highly on search, it is very outdated. As someone who works in editorial in this space daily, I have updated insights that could be invaluable for updating some of these things. ~2025-31977-95 (talk) 19:41, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @ERcheck, do they definitely need to open a second unlock request? The open request for a username change is showing up on RFU pages, so perhaps they could just add an updated/expanded answer to the questions in a reply below?
