November 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 website, 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. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 17:03, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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:

Chipmonk561 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

User name is changed due to that it seems like a business and I do not intend to represent any. I am just a traveller in Sri Lanka. I definitely understand the reason and I know where it was triggered, when I saw the issue, I refrained from publishing the edit and it was never made public. I will be mostly talking about travel and business as they are my field of employment.

Decline reason:

You say you don't represent a business but you took a website name as your username and attempted to link to its website. You also say travel is your field; as such you have at least a conflict of interest. Please tell in a new request what will change about your editing. 331dot (talk) 00:01, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I was not aware of the naming conventions at that time and let me correct you; I did not PUBLISH any of the edits I did. As soon as I realized that there was a contradiction, I paused and refrained from publishing. What I will do in the future is that I am not going to link to this particular website, while talking in travel in General CeyloTravels (talk) 04:13, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please explain what your relationship is to the ceylotravels.com website? Thanks. -- asilvering (talk) 04:34, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CeyloTravels (talk) 04:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)In facts its a conflict of interest. Around a few years ago, I was writing articles for the site as a blog writer, now I do not - although I write travel blogs as a profession (I will not link to any of the articles I have written in any website in the future as a precaution). I took the name CeyloTravels as it shows like a traveller; not as a direct affiliation to that business.[reply]

By "write travel blogs as a profession", I understand you to mean that you write freelance travel content for various different blog websites. Is that correct? -- asilvering (talk) 04:18, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct CeyloTravels (talk) 08:28, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, CeyloTravels! Can you tell me what type of edits you would like to make in the future? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 04:34, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CeyloTravels (talk) 04:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Already answered above. Pasting the same thing below; What I will do in the future is that I am not going to link to this particular website, while talking in travel in General.[reply]
