This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

I received ZERO compensation for ANY contributions that I made. I understand the reason that I was blocked and will not make any of the types of edits that would result in blocking again. This will be easy as I was never compensated in any way for any edits in the first place. I only intend to make corrections to articles when I come across them and to link related articles that should be linked if they are not already.

Decline reason:

This account is not directly blocked. If you are unable to edit, please exactly follow the instructions which appear when you attempt to do so. Yamla (talk) 17:23, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

• As far as I can tell, you're not blocked. I suggest you try editing again, and post any message you get telling you you're blocked. PhilKnight (talk) 16:44, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

• My account is definitely blocked with a message stating "Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing..." and listing the steps necessary to get it unblocked. PM (talk) 16:59, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

As per Yamla my account is not directly blocked. Please allow me to make edits again. Thank you. PM (talk) 17:39, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline. You are not giving us enough information to find the block affecting you. You must exactly follow the instructions which appear when you attempt to edit. Yamla (talk) 18:07, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• I'm at a loss. Here's what I get when I try to make edits:

"This account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.

The account ‪QI Macros‬ has been blocked by ‪NJA‬ for the following reason(s):

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:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and

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

Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and

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.

This block will not expire.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

I feel like I have followed these instructions exactly as outlined. Yamla can you or someone else please tell what I'm misunderstanding here? What am I doing differently from these instructions? PM (talk) 18:26, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

• Note: it says "The account ‪QI Macros‬ has been blocked by ‪NJA‬" but I am NOT QI Macros. Why is this showing up? PM (talk) 18:28, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Request reason:

The block is to QI Macros but I am NOT QI Macros. PM (talk) 18:30, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Hopefully the problems won't reoccur. PhilKnight (talk) 18:41, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

• I have disabled the autoblock on QI Macros block. Checkuser confirms you share an IP address. Try editing again. PhilKnight (talk) 18:36, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

• Thank you, PhilKnight. That appears to have done the trick. PM (talk) 19:06, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
