User talk:PerpetualTraveler

August 2024

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. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 11:36, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

First and foremost my apologies for breaching the rules around usernames and promotion. It was not the intention to breach these rules, I simply didn't read up well enough, being more enthousiastic than thorough on the rules. Regarding the required steps: 1: There is no compensation to the contributions done so far (and won't be for upcoming contributions). The website that the previously chosen username refers to is a non-profit platform for photographers to collect and present their work and offer it out for general use under (primarily) CC BY-SA 4.0 license. I am in that way affiliated to this website, but not getting paid for anything. The initial plan was to post all CC BY-SA 4.0 content from this website through this account but I understand this is not allowed by both being a promotional account and also a shared/non-personal account. I'd like to request a username change to PerpetualTraveler, I have verified this username is not in use at the moment. This will from now on be my personal account only and I will only share my own content without making references that would constitute a breach of the rules. And I will let other photographers who would want to share their content to the wikimedia or wikipedia pages create their personal accounts and explain them the rules regarding promotion and non-shared use of their account. Again, I'm sorry for this rough start and I'm hoping I'll be allowed to contribute further to the Wikimedia sphere. Thanks for considering this request!

Accept reason:

Thanks for reading up on our policies here. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about editing going forwards :) Elli (talk | contribs) 18:26, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jauerback: how do you feel about an unblock here? The requests here look reasonable to me. Elli (talk | contribs) 18:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's perfectly fine with me. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 18:24, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.
