There have been two problems identified 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, 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 this 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.

Requested username:

Sera Cherian (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand the reason for the block and that I will not repeat the same. I will refrain from posting any promotional content on the page

Decline reason:

You forgot to do this: "Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked." Our concern is that you plan on still editing MetricStream and given your history, and your violations of WP:COI and WP:PROMO and WP:PAID, that would be inappropriate. You are welcome to make another unblock request, indicating what you'll be editing in the future and whether or not that would include MetricStream. Hint: After reading the policies I've linked to, you'll know the answer we are looking for. Yamla (talk) 12:50, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
