Requested username:

Gagein (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

We are willing to change it if the copy from the website cannot be used at all. Also, I am not sure why our name change was denied. It's a grammar change.

Decline reason:

Well, willing or not, we can't reuse copy from most other websites anyway due to the licensing issues. As for "not understanding why the name change was denied"—really? You edit with the same name as the product you're promoting as "Google Alerts on steroids" and then, when it's pointed out to you that this violates both our username and conflict of interest policies, you ask for a change of name where all you did was de-CamelCase it (And that's punctuation, not grammar. If someone is paying you to do this for them could you please let me know their name so I can tell them they're getting ripped off). — Daniel Case (talk) 04:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Gagein (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am not using Wikipedia to promote ourselves nor am I stealing copy from the website. I am simply trying to share how Gagein works on Wikipedia as an extra source. I work for the company and have permission to use the copy from the website, which I am willing to change if unblocked.

Decline reason:

You were indeed using Wikipedia to promote. The copyright violation doesn't matter; in no way would the adcopy from your site be acceptable as a neutral encyclopedic article. Kuru (talk) 22:11, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 20:13, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
