Your account has been indefinitely blocked 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of 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 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|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. Lourdes 07:44, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

We have been blocked because we are told that our Username is suggestive of promoting and advertising our business. We wanted to add on to our previous request to unblock our page and reassure the editors that our law firm page is purely informational and provides only facts on who we are and on our history. We have rebranded from Platinum Partners to Touchstone Partners on November 1, 2020. We would like a new page to document Touchstone Partners and have created this page for that purpose alone and not to promote our business. Thank you for your consideration.

We will also change our Username to Karam. We have no intention to misuse this platform or use it to promote business. Thank you. Wikitouchstone (talk) 09:33, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You have two different choices of new username, please settle on a single choice. Your username is also not the only issue here, please discuss your inappropriate edits and connection to the company(since you say "we"). Please read WP:COI and WP:PAID. Please do not use the "Reply" function to make an unblock request, please open the edit window by clicking "edit" at the top of the screen. 331dot (talk) 17:11, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
