User talk:Ryan Ferrier

January 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy, which is summarized here.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and 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 available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Hi @331dot

Thank you for all of the valuable information and for the precise outline on how to resolve the block.

I will submit the change request and continue to improve my contributions to Wikipedia's community.

Your draft is not the most promotional I have seen, so I haven't deleted it- but your sources are completely inappropriate for establishing that your company meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. It likely far too soon for your company to have recieved the signifcant coverage needed- routine coverage does not establish notability. The vast majority of companies on this planet do not merit articles(even some that may have them, but probably shouldn't). 331dot (talk) 09:05, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I created an account under the name Packhorse Moving. The intent was to create an article under this name. I am looking to update my username from Packhorse Moving to Ryan Ferrier.

Accept reason:

Renamed so unblocked. You are required to read and comply with WP:COI and WP:PROMO before editing further. In particular, WP:COI requires that you disclose your conflict of interest prior to making any further edits. You are expected to refrain from creating an article on Packhorse Moving and in general, should avoid editing in subject areas for which you have a conflict of interest. So long as you comply with these, you are welcome to edit. Yamla (talk) 14:49, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
