Blocked

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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 "NIC" 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

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:

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

Request reason:

National Informatics Centre (NIC) is a Government of India organisation. The information on this wiki page has few sentences which are outdated and show a negative image of the Government of India organization for example, "NIC is said to be unable to scale up", and Rajeev Chawla, additional chief secretary (e-Governance), was quoted as saying "CSG will be an analogue to NIC". In addition to that the way of expressing information needs to be modified and should be error free. . NIC is a non-profitable organization and is not advertising or promoting any content. It provides IT supports to various digital India initiatives of Centre and State government. We need to edit some content including name of the Director General of the organization, update history, infrastructure, network and our services including latest figures.

Decline reason:

The proposed new username is acceptable. However, the other elements of the block still need to be addressed. To be unblocked:

• you must confirm that this account is used by one individual only
• you must agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organization (requested edits will still be permitted)
• you must agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose any paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy
• you must indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future

If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organization, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets.

So we know understanding is mutual, please state your understanding/response to each item in your own words.

I'm sorry that this message could not be more favorable. 331dot (talk) 11:09, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
