User talk:VGlobal project

June 2023

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
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.

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 reviewed|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. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:04, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

maria-pigaki (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

VGlobal Project is an Erasmus project to create the methodology for virtual field trips for higher education. I did not know it had to be a personal account: please change the user name to the one proposed: I am professor at National Technical University of Athens.

Decline reason:

That would be fine as a new username if you want to use your real name- we advise against it for security purposes, but you may if you wish. Your username is only one aspect of the block, you need to address your deeply inappropriate edits that violated our policies, including WP:PROMO, WP:COI, and WP:PAID(if you are editing as part of your job). 331dot (talk) 17:19, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about something, and more narrowly is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves and what they do. The main purpose of Wikipedia is to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. 331dot (talk) 17:19, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
