Hello, Rock and Soul Equipment and Records, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Rock and Soul Equipment and Records/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Helpful Raccoon (talk) 22:57, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Rock and Soul Equipment and Records/sandbox

edit
 

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Rock and Soul Equipment and Records/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

You are still blocked and you should wait for an admin to respond to your unblock request. Please don't open more than one unblock request at a time: your request is already in a queue, and adding more requests won't get an admin to respond faster. It's also unclear which username you want since you have two different usernames in your unblock requests. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 22:16, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

edit
 
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:

  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.

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

Requested username:

Request reason:

Attempt was made to add details about oldest record store and record store day, for an apprenticeship learning purpose and was not intended for monetary purpose. Efforts are made and will be made to add the researched content with reliable supporting links for enriching the Wikipedia content base. Rock and Soul Equipment and Records (talk) 01:51, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Your choice of new username just drops "equipment and records" from it- that is not acceptable. Please read the username policy. Your username must reflect that a specific individual exclusively operates this account(your real name is not required). Your draft was a clear promotional piece for your business. Please read WP:PROMO, conflict of interest, and paid editing("paid editing" includes employment/ownership). You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your business. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you want to be a more general contributor and edit about topics for which you have no conflict of interest, in the short term, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:14, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Can you please guide me to change my User name it has been blocked due to inconsistency with the rules which was unintentiiona, the aim was to include some topic that included some links which were considered promotional. I make sure this is regretful and will not be repeated. I would like to contribute to certain topics which was not there in music equipment pages like Vinyl records for example.l Rock and Soul Equipment and Records (talk) 22:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

After raising the request, new User name was changed to Rock and Soul which was considered dropping from the other name (Rock and Soul Equipment and Records), will consider another user name which satisfies the guidelines. Thank you! Rock and Soul Equipment and Records (talk) 22:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please place new posts at the bottom, so they stay in order of posting. This may be easier to do if you click "edit" and not "reply".
You already once made a request, just do so again with a different choice of username. Your username needs to represent you as an indivdual, not your company. Your real name is not required. If you want the company name in your username, you may propose a name in a format like "JohnDoe of Rock and Soul" or similar. 331dot (talk) 07:05, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I would initiate "Sharone Bechore of Rock and Soul" as the new username,

requesting you to unblock my IP address, for which I have raised a request for my personal research and writing purpose.Effort was made to understand and follow the wiki guidelines. Rock and Soul Equipment and Records (talk) 15:43, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Unrelated, but I fixed your help template. It was surrounded with <nowiki> tags which prevented it from working. This problem occurs when using the visual editor in a reply instead of the source editor. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 07:36, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Just as a heads-up, you may wish to reconsider using your real name as a username - assuming that is your real name. Anything you ever edit on Wikipedia is visible to anyone who looks at your Contributions log, and that might not be something you want to have happen. It's now very common for recruiters to Google candidates' names during the hiring process, among other potential concerns. 'Sharone of Rock and Soul' might be better for your privacy. This is only a suggestion, but I've seen many editors who used their real names get very upset when years later they learn it's impossible to erase their name from everything they have done on Wikipedia. No matter what you choose, I wish you well and also happy editing! StartGrammarTime (talk) 07:53, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Note that you have an account, so you can forget about your IP address and focus on your account. Attempting to edit via IP would be block evasion. If others on your IP are affected by this block, they can request unblock themselves. 331dot (talk) 08:39, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Appeal Key expired for my request to unblock my IP address and new user name Rock and Soul Equipment and Records (talk) 14:50, 15 August 2024 (UTC) Thank you, I am not sure as this is an account I volunteer for,I have requested them to check and try for their user name, but I need my Ip address to get unblocked to create my own User name (Vidya) wiki account to write, how will I know my IP address is unblocked and the other user name is changed. I am stuck to use my username or my IP.Rock and Soul Equipment and Records (talk) 14:13, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

You will know when your account is renamed because this page will be under your chosen new name. You should not attempt to create a new account until this block is removed. Again, forget about your IP address, you have an account. I was going to rename it to the name listed under the open request above, but you seem to be suggesting you want a different new username here. What is the name you want this account renamed to? 331dot (talk) 08:56, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
