User talk:CBeresford1

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. Alexf^(talk) 21:56, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

CBeresford1 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am requesting an unblock because I now understand that my previous edits were seen as promotional, which goes against Wikipedia’s guidelines. I plan to make constructive, neutral contributions to articles related to nonprofit organizations, citing reliable sources, and avoiding any promotional tone.

Accept reason:

As you have said you won't edit about your nonprofit or other nonprofits you might be associated with, I will remove the block. Courtesy ping to Alexf. 331dot (talk) 14:23, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this will be okay as long as you don't intend to- at least anytime soon- edit about your own nonprofit or other nonprofits that you are associated with(see conflict of interest). 331dot (talk) 20:13, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You got it. Thank you. CarolBeresford (talk) 20:44, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The account "Carolberesford" (note the capitalization) already exists, which prevents me from renaming this account to "CarolBeresford". I considered overriding but those names are too similar- can you propose something else? 331dot (talk) 10:27, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for helping, of course. "BeresfordCarol" or "CarolBeresford1" or "CBeresford1" 71.26.120.65 (talk) 13:35, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
