User talk:ShahnawazEditor: Difference between revisions

I view it positively that you have said you will not contribute about your company/its services, but you still have a conflict of interest with regards to your general field. If you also agree to disclose a conflict of interest and pursue edits in your field as the COI policy describes(via [[WP:ER|edit requests]] I would consider removing the block.

:I now disclose this COI as required by policy. I will not directly edit pages about my company, related services, or the broader web design industry. If I think an edit is needed, I will use the edit request process on the article talk pages, as the COI policy describes, so that neutral editors can decide.

::Not every statement needs to be an unblock request; I’ve removed the request formatting. Using the “reply” function also interferes with requests(the automatic indenting and signing is placed outside the request), I’ve fixed this.

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:

1. Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
2. 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
3. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
4. 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. Glen (talk) 07:40, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I apologize for my earlier edits that were promotional. I now understand that Wikipedia is not for advertising but for neutral, well-sourced content. I also realize that my username “Smartdesignly” gives the impression of representing a business, which is against policy.

I would like to request a username change to “ProposedNewUsername”. I confirm that I have read the conflict of interest and username policies, and I will not attempt to recreate promotional pages.

If unblocked, I plan to contribute constructively to topics where I do not have a conflict of interest, such as general web design, technology, and related subjects, while following Wikipedia’s rules. Thank you for considering my request.

Decline reason:

Requested username:

Request reason:

I understand that my previous edits were promotional and that my username “Smartdesignly” gives the impression of a business, which is against Wikipedia’s username policy.

I also disclose that I was editing in connection with my business, and I did not make that clear before. I now understand this violates the paid-contribution disclosure requirement. I apologize for not doing this earlier.

If unblocked and renamed, I will avoid editing topics where I have a conflict of interest, such as my own company or services. Instead, I plan to contribute neutrally to general technology and web design topics where reliable sources are available.

Please consider this request for a fresh start with a neutral username. Thank you. Smartdesignly (talk) 10:26, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
