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. —Cryptic 12:21, 5 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Per Cryptic. It's obvious you're only editing Wikipedia to shill this token. MER-C 18:20, 5 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • You have not addressed your promotional edits. You will also need to clarify if you are associated with the subject you have edited about; please see WP:COI and WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 12:47, 5 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Give your edits are only to advertise a cryptocurrency token, I don't think it is appropriate to unblock you unless you accept an indefinite topic ban from blockchain and cryptocurrencies, broadly construed. See the below information. MER-C 14:25, 5 July 2018 (UTC)Reply


Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
Aha. I was pretty sure that was the case, but I couldn't find it at WP:AC/DS. Either way, I'm pretty skeptical of a user who needs this done to his first edit but can't figure out how to put braces around his unblock template. —Cryptic 14:37, 5 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hah. Clearly not here to improve Wikipedia, then. MER-C 18:20, 5 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
