Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
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.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

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|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. Longhair\^talk 02:21, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

gabriel1525 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I was not aware that the username could not be the name of an organization, but now understand why. I'm requesting the new username to represent myself.

Decline reason:

There's nothing wrong with the new username, but you also need to address the editing that got you blocked, per the block notice (use a new unblock request form, and maybe wait till someone renames your account. — Daniel Case (talk) 04:44, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

The content was used from the QPOD website, but I am currently drafting up new content solely for wikipedia. Is this what you are referring to?

Decline reason:

Please review conflict of interest and paid editing. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your company or its products. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you are interested in being a general contributor and editing about topics unrelated to your conflict of interest, such as Joe Biden or Jacinda Ardern or science, please tell what topics you might edit about. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:27, 13 September 2021 (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.

Yes, that is what they would be referring to. Your page was a verbatim copy of https://www.qpod.nz/. While there is no obviously visible copyright status of the page, it is assumed to by copyrighted where no disclaimer exists and cannot be used per WP:CV. It also used tonality far too promotional for an encyclopedic entry. That's what the moderators are mainly concerned about, however additionally just for the article, the company has no obvious claim as to why it is notable, which is required for articles per WP:NCORP — IVORK _Talk 05:04, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
