You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Alexf^(talk) 20:39, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

your info re towing was legally wrong. I corrected it and linked to my site that shows the correct legal info and how to use it. I did not know that this was wrong. I have only just joined and have never used wikipedia before. I am truely sorry for my mistake and won't post links again. I thought that was what you are supposed to do. My mistake. Sorry Richard Wilson. Driver Training Cymru (talk) 21:00, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Hi — while this is an understandable mistake, I have declined your unblock request as your username appears to be a violation of our WP:USERNAME policy. As you only have one edit to this account, the easiest thing for you to do would be to simply review the policy on usernames and WP:FRESHSTART a new account that is name compliant. (Please be sure to read the following first, though: WP:COI, WP:ADV, and WP:RS. Thanks!) Chetsford (talk) 08:05, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• Sorry for giving you bad advice, I didn't note account creation was blocked so my FRESHSTART suggestion is not applicable in this case. Please request a change of username using this template - Template:Unblock-un. Thanks! Chetsford (talk) 08:22, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Requested username:

Rich Justme25 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

did not know trading names were not allowed

Decline reason:

This choice of new username would be acceptable, but I am uncertain as to(though you say you read it) if you understand the conflict of interest policy and what was problematic about what you did. You also don't state what it is you want to edit about, as you won't be permitted to directly edit in the area of your COI such as about your website(indirect edits may be possible through edit requests if there are other things you want to do here). I am declining your request at this time. 331dot (talk) 11:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I hope I have done this right all theses codes to do things confuse me. Driver Training Cymru (talk) 09:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

renaming/fresh start/unblocking

Not sure renaming someone who was blocked for cause is a great idea. The unblock reasons must be addressed first. User must in this instance first expressly agree not to edit about or link to their organization and tell us what constructive edits they'd make. "A clean start is not permitted if there are active bans, blocks or sanctions."-- Deepfriedokra 19:31, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

@Chetsford and Alexf: I'll be back on Wiki Tuesday, if you are willing to unblock and no one else has renamed, please ping me and I'll give it a try. If objections to unblocking remain, not so much.-- Deepfriedokra 19:39, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra and Alexf: - I have no opinion one way or the other on this and will defer to the two of you as to how you feel best to proceed. I just declined the original unblock request as a bookkeeping measure since it seemed impossible to unblock an account if it would have to immediately be blocked again due to the username. But I haven't looked at the underlying question. Chetsford (talk) 20:39, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

I understand the user's concern, but looking at it from the administration side, and rules application, I see the user's first and only edit was blatant link spam. It was clearly a link to their own website, their company, on an account named for said company. There's all kinds of violations here, not least username, conflicts of interest, and paid contributions. I would advise the user to read all the linked pages, so he understands what the project is about, and what the rules are. Making a fresh start would be advisable, after reading the rules and requesting an unblock with a change of username. I would not unblock at this time as the action was blatant and the user must read and state he has understood the rules and the reason for the block. Nothing personal here, just a clear spam violation. A non-involved admin should look into this, after the proper procedures are followed by the user, and decide on the outcome. --- Alexf^(talk) 22:22, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Reply to comments

I would like to reply to some of your comments. Firstly it feels very odd reading you all comment on me personally as if I am not even here.

In my world it is normal to show that you know what you are talking about by linking to articles you have written.

Secondly I have already done most of the things you asked me to do.

My last point is that the info I corrected was legally wrong and could get someone into trouble. I corrected it and linked to a specific page on my site that goes into great detail re how to correctly apply the law as it stands in the UK. This was not to gain sales in anyway. I spend hours giving free help and advice re this very issue. I am passionate in helping people understand the law in this area. Once again I made a mistake. I am sorry. It won't happen again.

Confirm read

I have read the linked articles as requested. Driver Training Cymru (talk) 08:44, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

OK I give up forget it. I have tried to follow each & every bit of advice / request you have made. Then you add more which I do so you add yet more stuff for me to do.

You keep you legally wrong info on that page.

I will just keep correcting it at my end when people contact me to ask why what you have is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4C8:82A:FFC0:55BD:294B:8268:C200 (talk) 15:54, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
