ObservableHQ

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username indicates 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:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
• 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.
• Provide a new username.

To do this, 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 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 go here to search and 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 available to be taken.

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. Hammersoft (talk) 23:15, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Such as Draft:ObservableHQ (now deleted)? Our username policy does not permit an account name that represents a company, as yours clearly does. Even if you changed your username, we would not permit you to write an article about your company, as you have a direct conflict of interest. --Hammersoft (talk) 23:21, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for sharing these resources. I was unaware of the COI guidelines until now. If I have a new username, I can proceed with editing other pages? ObservableHQ (talk) 23:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Is there a disclosure process I could follow? ObservableHQ (talk) 23:28, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

If you intend on attempting to edit about your company, you need to comply with WP:PAID. --Hammersoft (talk) 23:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
