User talk:OlaFounderNG

August 2026

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, website, or role, 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. If you are having trouble, you may want to try using the unblock wizard.

Before requesting a new username, check if it is still available. If the search says "There is no global account for [username]", the username is free to use.

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 edit. Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:06, 26 August 2026 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hello admins,

1. I have no paid compensation for editing Wikipedia. I am not being paid to edit.

2. I now understand I was blocked for using Wikipedia to promote my business and for having a business-like username. That was wrong. I will not promote any business or organization. I will only make neutral, sourced edits and follow all Wikipedia policies.

3. If unblocked, I intend to contribute by editing articles about Nigerian entrepreneurs, food businesses, and technology in Nigeria. I will use reliable sources and will not add anything promotional.

4. My proposed new username is: OlaFounderNG

Thank you for your consideration. YIVTOL (talk) 00:00, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

• Noting here that the deleted version of this talk page was some of the most blatant spam that I've seen on this project (and that's saying A LOT).-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:50, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
  • I have renamed your account. Another uninvolved admin will review your unblock request. PhilKnight (talk) 01:07, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
• You address Ponyo in your request, but unblock requests are to ask for a third party to review the matter. If you wish to first negotiate with Ponyo, you don't need to make an unblock request. However, looking at this anyway; it is difficult to believe that you didn't found your business to earn a living and not as a hobby in your free time. If you pay yourself a salary or otherwise get income from the business, you are a paid editor, it does not require specific payment for editing(otherwise every paid editor would deny being specifically paid to edit).

I'm kinda curious why you've switched your interest from what seems to be a Chinese business to Nigerian businesses. (you do not need to identify your physical location) 331dot (talk) 08:42, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
