There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

• 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Request reason:

This is a mistake, I'm on WikiPedia 20 years now, my username is a username that I use 25 years ago and I promote nothing commercial on WikiPedia, I'm just a developer, I let all my stuff free, see my Blog https://www.digital3d.com, you do not found anything comercial, all are free! I give donation to Wikipedia, I support Wikipedia, I don't see what's my fault here ? Thanks to unblock me.

Decline reason:

This account was only created today and has made only one contribution prior to being blocked. And promoting your website is prohibited, even if what it offers is free. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:30, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

I do not promote my web site at all ! I'm the creator of SubViewer since 1999 and the link before was an old and wrong url, I correct just the old url to the new one ?? Do you prefer to let wronk links in wikipedia or let me as the author to correct this ??

Accept reason:

Renamed and unblocked per the discussion below. Welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:14, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

• I'll add that I have nominated SubViewer for deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SubViewer, as I don't see any evidence of notability in the form of in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:58, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
• I've consulted with the blocking admin, User:Yunshui, and there are a couple of problems here, even if all you just did was correct your URL. One problem is that, as you are using Digital3d as your URL, your username falls foul of Wikipedia's username policy which prohibits usernames which "only contain the names of companies, organizations, websites..." Also, you should not be directly writing about your own products (even if they are non-commercial and free), as that can be seen as promotional and a violation of conflict of interest policy. I would be prepared to unblock you (with Yunshui's approval) on two conditions...

1. You agree to change your username in accordance with Wikipedia policy.
2. You agree to not directly write about your products, but only via the WP:AFC process and/or by requesting changes at article user pages.

Of course, I can change if you want my username on wikipedia, no problem and if you check my web site, it's a blog, all my software is free, it's still sad that in 20 years, I never win a penny on my soft but I'll be punish on wikipedia because we don't trust me. Before we don't have all this rules, it was simple and I never profit on Wikipedia to win something. SubViewer is a old software, the precursor of all subitles for series now, i never won a penny for this. Thanks anyway. Please change my username Digital3D to DolinskiDavid. Thanks

I've renamed your account and I'll unblock you shortly. But I just want to respond to your thoughts here too. Please don't take it personally, as nobody is trying to punish you or suggest that you can not be trusted. What has happened is that you have come across rules introduced and expanded to help us deal with serious problems of attempted promotion, and it unfortunately affects well-intentioned people like yourself too. Years ago, when you first started here, Wikipedia was more relaxed with far fewer rules. But as Wikipedia grew in popularity and has become one of the world's top websites, it has attracted hordes of advertisers, promoters and spammers, who want to abuse our goodwill to push their own interests - and it extends to non-profit organizations too, who still want the publicity, so we can't restrict the prohibitions to commercial interests only. You'd probably be surprised by the massive volume of promotional material we have to deal with every day. That's why the current rules have been developed and expanded, and why we now have prohibitions on usernames that suggest a conflict of interest, and we prefer editors to not directly write about themselves or their own wares. Rules on notability have also been tightened up greatly, and these days we're generally looking for in-depth coverage by multiple independent reliable sources - and there are many articles that were fine years ago but would not be accepted today. Anyway, I'm sorry you have fallen foul of this, and I welcome you back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:13, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
