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 website, 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. Fathoms Below (talk) 05:01, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear administrator,

It has been 3 weeks since I've sent you my request to unlock the block from my account. I know you're loaded with work and didn't want to bother you too soon and give you more time for the review. As you've requested I want to change my username by: LouiseT51. (This is my name and year of my birth)

And also, again, I'm stating and confirming that I am not receiving any compensation or distribution to create the page for a film director Beka Sikharulidze. This is my good will to create this page, which I truly believe deserves it. And lastly, please allow me to continue my edits; Per your request I would like to make more concise language for his biography and remove several articles from one and the same newspaper, not to give and impression I'm promoting any website or a magazine here. I would be very appreciative if you review my request and consider unblock my account for continued edits to Beka Sikharulidze page. BekaFilmProductions (talk) 23:37, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Your reason here - Dear Wikipedia editors,

I would like to state again that, I do not receive any compensation for creating the page. If the editors decide to unblock my account, I would be more careful with adding the information, and specifically the links form the news and social media. I will absolutely remove 2 links from the newspaper (I have added 3 from the same online magazine, all articles about the person’s film and its achievements), because it was considered the advertising of this newspaper, which was absolutely not my intention. The page will be purely informative with the most important details, links and other information about Beka Sikharulidze.

Best regards,

Dear Wikipedia Editor,

I hope this message finds you well. I sincerely apologize if my actions caused any misunderstanding or gave the impression that I was attempting to promote a commercial website or content. That was never my intention.

The page I am working on is about a film director and actor who has been active in the field since 2006. I have included references to credible articles from newspapers and only two websites that are directly linked to the individual's activities in entertainment and sports.

If my username has unintentionally given the impression of representing a business entity, I am more than willing to update it to reflect that I am an individual contributor. My name is Louise Tsaria, and I am an independent editor seeking to create a meaningful and accurate Wikipedia article.

Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate the opportunity to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Please let me know if there are any further adjustments I can make to align with the platform’s guidelines.

Best regards,

You have proposed your username as "Your proposed new username- LouiseT51". I assume you do not want "your proposed new username" as part of your username. I would also advise you that it is extremely unwise to identify the derivation of your username, if it involves personal information, in this very public place. 331dot (talk) 01:11, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It appears the user may not be a paid editor (in which case, what an unfortunate choice of username!), but does have something of a conflict of interest which would need to be disclosed. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:09, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Hi @BekaFilmProductions:, it's obvious that you're very passionate about this director - unfortunately that's going to make it really difficult for you to create a neutral, objective encyclopedia article - at least until you build up a lot more experience on Wikipedia. This sort of thing is hard for even experienced editors to do well.

Would you be happy if an admin suggested unblocking you on the understanding that you avoid anything to do with this director, at least for now?

Once you've got a decent history of unrelated editing under your belt, you could use that evidence to show that you understand how to edit and create well-written & objective articles on Wikipedia - but I'd wait at least six months before asking, to give your appeal the best chance.

In the meantime, I'd also recommend exploring the WP:NPOV tutorial and how-to guides in the Community pages. Looking at your sandbox I think you've got potential to become a great editor, if you're willing to contribute towards the project as a whole.

If you're happy with this suggestion and were unblocked to work in unrelated areas, which topics would you be interested in? This information will help an admin to decide if they're happy with the idea, and give you guidance on what to do next. Blue Sonnet (talk) 14:16, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Blue-Sonnet,

Thank you very much for your response and all the suggestions you provided, it is greatly appreciated. I really thought I had created an objective and unbiased article and very sorry if the editors had a different impression. I put all the facts, supported with various articles and after going through the guidelines and numerous pages, I tried to do my best to be precise, brief and concentrate on the most important facts. During all the conversions I had with editors, no one even once gave me a concrete example or indication what was wrong or biased, only the comments were regarding the username. But anyways, thank you very much for taking the time to review my article and give me your honest answer and valuable recommendations. Can I please ask you about my request on changing the username?

Thanks! BekaFilmProductions (talk) 03:45, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When editors see a promotional draft or article, they often check to see if the creator has a username that indicates a conflict of interest or paid editing. In this case, your username prompted a specific type of block for editors whose username appears to be a business and who have made promotional edits. As such, you were blocked before receiving feedback on your work.

That said, editing neutrally is a tough skill, and it's one of the reasons we only recommend new article creation for advanced editors (see WP:TASKS). It becomes even more complicated when you have a conflict of interest. One of Wikipedia's foundational pillars is that it is written from a neutral point of view, which in part, means refraining from editorializing and peacocking.

Looking at the draft you were writing, I quickly noticed some key words that tend to stand out as promotional, which I've bolded: Beka Sikharulidze was born in Tbilisi, Georgia into an artistic family (1). His father, Givi Sikharulidze, is a renowned Georgian actor, writer, and choreographer, while his mother, Rusudan Sikharulidze, was a medical doctor and the nurturing force of the family. While the bolded phrases can sometimes be acceptable, they often indicate a specific perspective the writer is giving.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 06:35, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Hey again @LouiseT51, I'm not an admin, just another editor who's floating around helping where I can! The tutorial I linked to is really helpful with understanding how to work neutrally on Wikipedia, so please take a look when you have a moment.

Would you be happy with staying away from article creation for a little while, until you get more experience? Are there any subjects or topics you're interested in working on in the meantime? Blue Sonnet (talk) 10:27, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Blue-Sonnet, thank you very much again for your help, of course I will go through with details, it's very helpful indeed. I read a lot for the last few weeks on wikipedia regulations and I clearly see the mistakes I've made. Thank you so much for taking the time and explaining further, I really appreciate that! Thanks and wish you all the best! LouiseT51 (talk) 19:58, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Significa liberdade Thank you very much for your explanation, which is extremely valuable for me. I went through the Wikipedia's foundational pillars as well as information on neutral point of view. I absolutely and clearly understood my mistakes and honestly I was referring to other details and not so much in the actual style of text. You are absolutely right, it indeed sounded and looked like a promotional biography, which is not my intention. I worked on my text and would love to make all the corrections very much if I would given only one more chance to do it. I would really appreciate your opinion on the possibility to make the updates and corrections according to the Wikipedia regulations once again. I received lots of suggestions and yours was extremely important and valuable for me. Thank you so much again, I look forward to your feedback. Kind regards.

Hi again! Are there other topics you're interested in editing on Wikipedia? Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 20:09, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Yes absolutely, I'm a very long time Wikipedia user, probably from the day one of its existence. But I never thought of contributing. I'm thinking of several topics as well, but as I'm film and production industry, I thought it would be great to start my contribution by an emerging filmmaker. LouiseT51 (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So an "emerging" anything is unlikely to merit a Wikipedia article. A subject must have already arrived and be noticed by independent reliable sources. A filmmaker would need to meet the definition of a notable creative professional. Not that you can't try, just that it's not easy. And your edits in your field would need to be consistent with WP:COI. 331dot (talk) 20:44, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot Yes, absolutely, I agree. And I also understand and acknowledge the definition of a notable creative professional, which I read very thoroughly. I want to assure you that I clearly realize and understand the importance of consistency with WP:COI. I do appreciate your guidance a lot, which makes all the process so much easier to navigate for me. Thank you! LouiseT51 (talk) 20:59, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
