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 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:

• 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, 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.

I receive no compensation for my postings.

My name was blocked due to "advertising" which I disagree with. Is it advertising to create an account under a persona or alias that I use across the web? That's different than my user posting. I would love to chat about this.

Generally speaking, I was planning on making contributions on a few cybersecurity and powershell related pages. Not that I found any errors in them. But I was looking to find ones to contribute to.

If not SimeonOnSecurity, perhaps I can just use SimeonSecurity? That's the short name I usually use.

Request reason:

It is my primary online alias. It just so happens I also run a blog under the same name. But it's a persona. Not a business. The user page I created is separate from the account I created in that regard. SimeonOnSecurity (talk) 08:00, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Duplicate request. Only one open request is needed at a time. 331dot (talk) 08:55, 22 October 2023 (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.

We do not permit website names as usernames, and any account that is a website name and that immediately starts editing about that website is promptly blocked for two policy violations: a username that violates that policy, and self-promotional editing which is strictly forbidden.

@Cullen328

I get the reasons why. But why is it an option to create a User page on my own profile options if I can't add my own accolades. It's a personal page. I'm sure other's have had this argument before. But I'll rest my argument. Please consider the username change below.

The purpose of a userpage is for an editor to inform other Wikipedia editors about their accomplishments, goals and plans as a Wikipedia editor. It is most definitely not for adding one's own accolades off-Wikipedia, which is a textbook example of self-promotion. Cullen328 (talk) 08:40, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

Doesn't Match the Website. Still an alias I use. SimeonOnSecurity (talk) 08:34, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I don't see this as much of an improvement, but maybe others will disagree. We don't care what username you use across the web, on a planet with 8 billion people it is unreasonable to expect to be able to use the same name on every website. We'll also need to know what contributions you wish to make towards building this encyclopedia of human knowledge. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:55, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

You aren't banned, you are blocked; the two words have different meanings here. User talk pages are not typically deleted. You are free to remove content except declined unblock requests from this page per WP:BLANKING. 331dot (talk) 09:08, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

@331dot

I created an account with the purpose of finding pages I wished to correct or improve.

I filled out my profile. It got me blocked. For new users, the distinction between a ban and a block might seem negligible, as they are essentially related consequences. I understand the reasons behind this action, but I am currently not concerned about progressing with contributions. I kindly request a change in my account name.

Wikipedia does not host profiles. As noted, your user page is a place to tell about yourself as a Wikipedia editor or user only. If you don't wish to participate here any more, nothing further needs to be done here. 331dot (talk) 09:32, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Requested username:

Vanished user 239487307 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

To comply with instructions at https://www.wikihow.com/Delete-Your-Wikipedia-Account SimeonOnSecurity (talk) 09:27, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

That third party site is in error- vanishing is requested per the instructions at WP:VANISH, but vanishing is not typically done for users who are not in good standing(blocked). 331dot (talk) 09:29, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

@331dot I'm blocked for a username related issue. Seems to be as good of a time as any. I'm not trying to be difficult. But all you're telling me is to request a username change one more time. Get unblocked and then request vanish.

Requested username:

Simeon65535 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

65535 is the highest number available to open ports for. It's a networking thing. I like the number.SimeonOnSecurity (talk) 09:36, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

As per below. Additionally, at the top of the page, you indicate you are retired from editing. As such, there's no reason to consider lifting the block. Yamla (talk) 09:56, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

You won't be unblocked merely to vanish. You can ask for vanishing even while you are blocked, but it's not likely to be granted. If it is accepted, you will be renamed by whomever accepts your request at that time. 331dot (talk) 09:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
