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 follow all these steps:

1. Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
2. 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
3. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
4. 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. UtherSRG (talk) 15:01, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

We sincerely apologize for our initial mistake in choosing a commercial username. We misunderstood the guidelines during our first attempt to create an account. After conducting thorough research, we have selected a new username, "FollicleFocus," which adheres to Wikipedia's community standards. We are committed to contributing positively to the Wikipedia community and ensuring compliance with all guidelines. We kindly request that you reconsider our situation and unblock our account. Thank you for your understanding and support. Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic (talk) 14:13, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

That would be fine as a new username, but you must designate a single person to exclusively operate this account. Please read WP:COI and WP:PAID and tell us what will change about your editing in the future. 331dot (talk) 17:35, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

@331dot:

Dear 331dot,

Thank you for your feedback and guidance. I fully understand the importance of adhering to Wikipedia’s policies regarding conflicts of interest (WP:COI) and paid contributions (WP:PAID).

I have designated a single individual to operate this account moving forward, ensuring no ambiguity in responsibility. This person will strictly follow Wikipedia’s guidelines, including:

Disclosure: She will clearly disclose any affiliations, as required, on the user page and in relevant discussions.

Proposing Changes: To maintain neutrality, the designated individual will suggest changes on the talk pages rather than making direct edits on topics where there may be a conflict of interest.

Transparency: The account will transparently disclose any paid contributions, including the name of the employer and any relevant clients, following the WP

guidelines.

I am committed to upholding Wikipedia’s neutrality, reliability, and transparency standards in all future contributions. I appreciate your assistance and look forward to contributing constructively to Wikipedia.

I appreciate your support, and I look forward to your reply. Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic (talk) 12:10, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

@331dot: In addition to the information provided in my previous message, can you please guide me on how to update the username with the approved one? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic (talk) 12:13, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Please place new posts at the bottom, for chronological order. This may be easier to do if you click "edit" and not "reply"; the reply function is imperfect and does not work well in every situation. You say you've designated someone to operate this account, but still speak as a group- please have that person communicate with us as an individual. Please follow the instructions provided in the block notice to make an unblock request that proposed a new username. My last review puts an end to my formal involvement in this matter, though I am willing to answer further questions from you. Someone else will review any request you make. 331dot (talk) 12:47, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Just so I'm clear, merely being employed by the clinic is sufficient to trigger the requirement to disclose paid editing- you do not need to be specifically paid to edit or specifically asked to edit.(though you have been, it seems) 331dot (talk) 12:50, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

As suggested, I have requested the new username to be reviewed. Although, I'm not sure if there is any additional steps to take to ensure the new username is reviewed and approved.

Also, where the {{connected contributor (paid)}} should be added to ensure it also follows compliance? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic (talk) 14:43, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

@331dot: Thank you for your feedback. The system is a little challenging, and I've struggled a bit to use it. I'll be the one editing the account and as you suggested, I've edited my previous comment to ensure it reflects a single user on the account. I will review the block notice to ensure I follow the instructions for unblocking the proposed username. Thank you again for your support. It is really appreciated.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic (talk • contribs)

@331dot:

Dear 331dot, Would you kindly advise on the below? I've submitted a few times and gets deleted from the talk. I'm not sure what is the proper procedure to ensure it is reviewed and approved. Thank you in advance for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic (talk • contribs)

@Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic: The request you are making is not valid on your user talk page. That request form is only valid on the Rename Request page, which you do not have access to because you are blocked. You must use {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} as described in the block notice above. Also, please sign your talk posts with ~~~~. Your failure to follow instructions and conventions makes supporting your rename and unblock much more difficult. Your unblock request with that username has been previously declined for reasons other than your username. Please re-read the decline reason and comply with our policies. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:39, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I think you've made a good case here so far. Do you know of any articles you'd like to edit if you're unblocked? QwertyForest (talk) 10:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @QwertyForest Thank you so much for getting back to me. I really appreciate your reconsideration regarding unblocking the account. Should I have the opportunity to proceed, I would love to support two pieces of content with edits: Eyebrow Restoration and the Plastic Surgery—Reconstructive Surgery section. Please let me know what steps I need to take to ensure the account is unblocked and the username updated so I can contribute to the edit pages. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic (talk) 08:41, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Reading this, it looks to me like you understand what policies your organisation previously violated and will not repeat the promotion. @UtherSRG, how would you feel about unblocking this user? QwertyForest (talk) 11:59, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

They should avoid topics related to their work. The articles they suggest would be in conflict with that. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:04, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh. I thought that edits relating to their work were acceptable so long as they didn't talk about their organisation. QwertyForest (talk) 12:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @UtherSRG and @QwertyForest I was under the same impression as if the article required additional update, the subject wouldn't be an issue - as long as there were no reference related to my organisation. This would add value to the reader and ensure the topics had up to date information about the content provided. In any case, if the subject is not acceptable as part of the contribution, I can surely support with other topics, such as Fire retardant. It is completely unrelated and the page can be updated with the relevant information. Thank you again for your support, and please let me know the next steps. Wimpole Hair Transplant Clinic (talk) 09:16, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Please read WP:COI. As your clinic is invested in certain procedures, you have a conflict in writing about those procedures. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:40, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, you won't be unblocked to edit about anything for which you have a conflict of interest. This won't necessarily be a permanent restriction, but you will first need to build up a good edit history demonstrating your understanding of relevant policies before being permitted to indirectly contribute about topics for which you have a COI. 331dot (talk) 09:06, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
