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 or other organisation or group or a 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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:39, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hello, I totally understand why you blocked the page. However, this is how things happened: I was exporing wikipedia, reading on what we can write on a page or not, playing around on how a page looks like and what the elements of it are. This was a first step in exploring the wikipedia interface, which I do not know at all, and for this reason instead of dummy text I put text from our website. I thought that the page I was adding content in would be a draft, that I could go back and edit at a later stage, as soon as I had the final text for the wikipedia page (based on the research I was doing), before I submit it for review. As soon as I entered the draft content and hit "next" I saw a box that said "Submit for review", but I didn't click on it because I was still going through all the wikipedia tabs with the instructions I had opened to get all the information I needed. So, I continued reading the several tabs, and as soon as I got back to the tab where my page was, I saw that it has already been blocked (without even hitting "submit for review".) Now that I know how it works, I can ensure you that no such mistake will not happen again. Thank you in advance for your help."

Accept reason:

Now that your user name has been changed, I'm willing to accept this request. Be sure to comply carefully with the instructions at WP:PAID and WP:COI before editing further. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 06:04, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

• You can't keep your current username (or use any variant of it), as Wikipedia user names must not appear to represent companies or organizations. You will need to choose a name that represents only yourself. If you wish, you could use a name like "xxx at Europe Beyond Coal", provided you made the necessary declarations required by WP:PAID (whether you are actually paid or not) and WP:COI. I suggest you edit your unblock request and choose a new username. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:01, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Note: the username was changed by an IP. Europe Beyond Coal, please make sure you are signed in when you edit. Victor Schmidt (talk) 12:07, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Could you when signed in conform your choice of username? Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 17:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Sure, but the system doesn't let me login with the new username and the password I already have, and when I click on the 'forgot your password', I never receive an email to update my password. --Europe Beyond Coal (talk) 14:53, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
