User talk:Melvswrites

June 2024

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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:45, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Requested username:

Request reason:

I'm just personally contributing about the something I thought it was notable that I have already published a book and more to come. It never even came to my mind to use this as an advertisement or promotional form. This is just the first time I have made any edit or adding an article, so I'm asking for you to reconsider not blocking me, and just declined the article I was trying to add. I will just write about the Philippines History Melvswrites (talk) 23:32, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Duplicate request. Only one open request is needed at a time. 331dot (talk) 06:51, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

It never even came to my mind to use this as an advertisement or promotional form. This is just the first time I have made any edit or adding an article, so I'm asking for you to reconsider not blocking me, and just declined the article I was trying to add. I won't do it again and re check about all the things in the guidelines. What I'm going to edit or add in the future will be in any category that is notable and worthy for people to know about it. And lastly if I add an article or edit an article, it will not involve of me getting any payment. I will just write about the Philippines HistoryMelvswrites (talk) 23:39, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I don't think that you write and publish books for free and give them away. You write to make a living, or at least you recoup the costs of publishing the book; you sell it on Amazon. That makes you a paid editor, any paid relationship triggers the disclosure requirement, it does not require specific payment for edits. Your draft was wholly promotional and unsourced. You seem to be saying that you won't edit about your books further, please tell what specific topics you might edit about instead. 331dot (talk) 06:51, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
