Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

1. Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
2. 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; and
3. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
4. Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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.

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

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|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. 331dot (talk) 17:19, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

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.

Requested username:

casjams (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am not attached to any username I was just trying to be consistent, apologies. 1. I am not receiving any contribution, didn't even know that was possible. 2. Now I think I understand what not to do. 3. My contributions will be about cultural topics: philosophy, black celebs. 4. new username: casjams - do you change that or do I? this is informational not promotional...don't really understand how it could be seen as such. I tried to get input before posting but didn't really understand how Happiness4Beginners (talk) 17:51, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Please answer Ponyo's question below (if the rename goes through and you are unblocked, will you agree to not edit topics affiliated with the Happiness4beginners channel and its contributors or closely related topics?) if you wish to be unblocked.

I merged your requests, only one is needed at a time. On Wikipedia there is no distinction between "informational" and "promotional"(see WP:YESPROMO). Wikipedia is not for merely providing information. Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the subject, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability. You were editing about a YouTube channel with the same name as your username, is that your channel? 331dot (talk) 20:21, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

thank you for merging requests.

I have referenced independent reliable sources in the article already

Yes, I am a contributor to this channel. The channel is NOT monetized so I am not getting paid. Actually created this at the advice of Neil Patel. Happiness4Beginners (talk) 21:22, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh but I am working toward a financial stake in the company...I hope I have explained myself properly. Happiness4Beginners (talk) 22:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
