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, or web site, 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:

• 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, 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.

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. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hey, sorry that my article came across as 'promotional/advertising' - I just followed the format from other similar artists in the hope that I could build a trusted knowledge base for myself as an artist, perhaps my intention to appear on the google knowledge panel could be construed as that, but that isn't my sole drive. Forgive me. As for the username mishap, HARK media is real, it's the company I plan to place everything under as things grow, so figured it might be nice to use that to begin editing. Although it's in its infancy, I wasn't trying to be dishonest, but I've requested a more transparent username! I won't try and submit an article like this again and understand why you would reject it. I don't receive any compensation for this, this was just me trying to collate information in one cohesive place as an artist for people to find out if they were looking, with the intention it would build over time. If unblocked, I would go back to basics and only add credible edits to subjects I know about (mainly other artists most likely) that don't involve myself. Thanks and apologies.

Accept reason:

Since you have said you won't make edits related to yourself, I will remove the block. 331dot (talk) 07:43, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Really appreciate it. Hkendall93 (talk) 08:34, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Renamed. Note that using any random article as a model is not a good idea, as those articles could themselves be inappropriate, and you would be unaware of that. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those that are classified as good articles.

Hey man im josh Since they won't edit about themselves, what do you think? 331dot (talk) 20:52, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the username change! And thanks for the guidelines on good articles, will be helpful. Hkendall93 (talk) 21:09, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

@331dot: So long as "Hark" is actually just meant to represent them / their interests (their name was Hark media and the article mentions Hark records), I suppose I don't see a reason not to give them a second chance. I'd hate to miss out on potentially decent contributors, so you have my blessing. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:07, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Yeah that’s right, HARK is like my joke corp name that I’ll be using to put my creative projects under…(just an amalgamation of my name, Harry K…Hark) sorry for the mishap. Hkendall93 (talk) 05:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
