Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Wig. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Annh07 (talk) 11:55, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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, website, or role, 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. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:56, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Account Unblock Request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Andrew-pritcherd (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am writing with a deeply sincere heart to request the reconsideration of the block on my Wikipedia account. I understand that I made a mistake by including a link to a collection page from my website, which violates Wikipedia’s policy on promotional content. Please accept my wholehearted apology for this action. I want to clarify that my intention was never to misuse or disrespect the integrity of such a respected platform. As someone who values knowledge, transparency, and global collaboration, I’ve always admired Wikipedia as a symbol of free information and community-driven effort. Unfortunately, due to a lapse in judgment—and perhaps a lack of thorough understanding of the guidelines—I added a link that was perceived as promotional. I now fully recognize how that was inappropriate, and I accept full responsibility. Since the block, I have carefully studied Wikipedia’s guidelines on conflict of interest, external linking, and notability. I am now better informed and more committed than ever to uphold Wikipedia’s standards. I promise never to repeat the same mistake and to contribute solely with neutral, verifiable, and encyclopedic content in the future. Wikipedia has always been a source of inspiration for me. I grew up relying on it for learning, and I genuinely want to give back—not take advantage. Being blocked from editing has felt like losing access to a community I deeply respect and wish to be part of. I kindly ask for your forgiveness and a second chance to prove myself as a responsible, policy-abiding contributor. Thank you for reviewing my appeal with an open heart. I humbly request you to consider unblocking my account. I assure you of my absolute commitment to the rules and values of Wikipedia going forward.

This was written by an AI(100% certain according to zeroGPT). You are blocked, not an AI, so we want to hear from you directly. An AI cannot capture the specifics of your situation or tell us what is inside your mind. Please write in your own words without the aid of an AI. 331dot (talk) 13:52, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I've made a change on wikipedia in the last week. During the wikipedia editing I've pasted a link or collection page which show the promotional intention. My personal intention was only ad the value not to gain benefit. After the reviewing of team they removed my edit and block my account from editing. Its my humble request to unblock my account. Wikipedia is my personal inspiration for learning from start. I've read and understand the policies in detail of the platform. I kindly ask for your forgiveness and a second chance to prove myself as a responsible, policy-abiding contributor. I assure you of my absolute commitment to the rules and values of Wikipedia going forward. Thanks

Decline reason:

You were blatantly spamming. As you still claim you weren't, there's no possibility your block will be lifted. Yamla (talk) 18:44, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Account Editing Block - Please Lift the Block

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Andrew-pritcherd (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

My account is blocked from editing. I was made a change on an article on Wikipedia and pasted a link of a collection page of a website. At that time also my username was with a brand name and that was also a reason to show promotional intention. That was my mistake and when I know the pattern of Wikipedia I made that mistake. So now its my humble request to lift block from my account. I will be thankful to Wikipedia team and next time I will be careful and avoid these kinds of mistake I made before. Andrew-pritcherd (talk) 09:29, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I have unblocked. Welcome back. PhilKnight (talk) 10:52, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What edits will you make instead? 331dot (talk) 09:40, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will edit grammar, citations, and like these minor edits. Learn about technology trends and topic on Wikipedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew-pritcherd (talk • contribs)

Would you specifically agree to not edit about your website or topics for which you have a conflict of interest? 331dot (talk) 09:56, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes off course I agree to not edit about my website or topic for which we have conflict of interest Andrew-pritcherd (talk) 06:59, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will feel grateful and soo much thankful to you and Wikipedia team

So, Its my humble request to lift ban from my profile Andrew-pritcherd (talk) 12:25, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello HJ Mitchell

Please review my request and unblock my account

I will update minor edits and not do like before Andrew-pritcherd (talk) 13:52, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Your unblock is just one of many in the list of unblock requests. Requests are reviewed in no set order, and no time frame is promised. Administrators, like all other Wikipedia users, are volunteers. It may take several days or even weeks before your request is evaluated. Until then, there is nothing for you to do except be patient and wait your turn. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:37, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@PhilKnight happy to defer to your judgement. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:00, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
