User talk:HejRonja

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. Bishonen | tålk 20:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am very confused, did I successfully send my request for unblocking? HejRonja (talk) 12:03, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently not. Please follow the instructions in the block notice. Click the "edit" button and paste your request at the bottom of your talk page. The "reply" button and the visual editor mangle unblock requests. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:21, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! HejRonja (talk) 12:35, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello.

I read the Wikipedia policies and don't understand why I got blocked.

1) Username:

My username is not connected to any business, just to my personal Instagram account which has a similar name. I don`t understand how this violates the username policy (Wikipedia:Username policy). However, I would be willing to change my username if it did. Please let me know.

2) Editing behavior:

I did not add any links to external sources or add/edit a Wikipedia article about myself (or any related business). I just added two illustrations to the corresponding Wikipedia articles. I donated these illustrations to Wikimedia Commons to help making the Wikipedia articles about these persons more visible since they lacked an image of the person. I am not related to those persons (Dayo Gore, Eunice Newton Foote).

Could you please explain how this violates the polocies (Wikipedia:Spam, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not)? I could not find a reason for this.

Thank you for your time.

Decline reason:

Your username is that of your social media account so every use of your username advertises your social media account. Social media accounts are often monetized as well(even "personal" ones). I also concur with Bishonen that your social media account seems promotional as were your edits(we don't put credits in articles, they are on the page for the image). I'm also curious what you based your illustrations on(especially for Foote who is long dead). 331dot (talk) 15:31, 22 November 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.

hejronja.illustration at Instagram[1] looks more like promotion than a "personal Instagram account" to me, especially considering the way you put it into the Wikipedia image captions here and here. But I'll leave this to the reviewing admin. Bishonen | tålk 13:23, 22 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]
