December 2017

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.

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 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 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. MER-C 20:29, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

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:

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

Request reason:

I understand that my account was blocked due to perceived advertising and the use of a business-related username. I apologize for any misunderstanding and assure you that my intention is to contribute valuable content to Wikipedia, not to promote my business. I have chosen a new username, “RanjanB_Photographer,” which complies with the username policy.

I understand the importance of adhering to Wikipedia’s guidelines and will ensure that my future edits are focused on providing useful and unbiased information. I plan to contribute to articles related to photography techniques, history, and notable photographers, drawing from my 22 years of experience in the field.

Thank you for considering my request. Ranjanb.in (talk) 00:37, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your proposed name is no better, as it is the name of your business. I get that it's partially your name; if you want to use your real name as your username, you will need to use it by itself without the word "Photography". You'll need to read WP:COI and WP:EXPERT and tell us what will be different about your editing, such as how you will edit about your field without editing about your business. 331dot (talk) 08:11, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
