User talk:A TO Z INDIA

August 2018

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:

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.
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}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike | Talk 22:19, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

A TO Z INDIA (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

This is not an advertisement or promotion but a monthly magazine page published from Chennai, India. There are many magazine pages in wikipedia so kindly unblock this page.

Decline reason:

You created the page on your user page, which is not article space. Your username cannot be that of a business or product per the username policy; you will need to select a username that indicates you as an individual user. Please read WP:PROMO, WP:COI, and WP:PAID, which will explain why you will not be permitted to edit about your magazine. If you would like to edit about something else, you may make another unblock request. I am declining this one. 331dot (talk) 22:52, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have a common misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. It is not a forum to merely tell about a business or product. This is an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources to be notable as Wikipedia defines it. Wikipedia has no interest in what a business wants to say about itself. Not every business or product merits an article here, even within the same field, see other stuff exists. 331dot (talk) 22:52, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Respected Sir/Madam, We are a not-for-profit magazine based in Chennai, India and we are promoting Indian Culture throughout the world. Being a respectable media house in Chennai, India, having a Wikipedia page helps us promote our authenticity. That is why we created a wikipedia page, it is not for commercial motive. So please help us

Decline reason:

Wikipedia is not to promote your organisation, and accounts may not be shared. I strongly suggest reading the information you have been given above. stwalkerster (talk) 23:15, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"We are promoting Indian Culture....." is a promotional purpose as far as Wikipedia is concerned. You don't have to be making money. If you only want to promote Indian culture and/or your magazine, please make use of an alternative outlet. If you as an individual are interested in being a general Wikipedia contributor, you must follow the instructions on this page. 331dot (talk) 23:45, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not exist in order to promote your cause, however noble you believe it to be. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:39, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am new to wikipedia, so by mistake created the magazine page as an user page. Kindly help me change it as an article and unblock. Thanks.

Decline reason:

You have been told several times now that you can not have A TO Z INDIA as your username, as accounts in the names of companies, organizations or groups are not allowed. You must select a username that represents only a single individual. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:24, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
