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:
- 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, 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. Alexf(talk) 09:59, 22 August 2024 (UTC)![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0c/Appointment_red.svg/48px-Appointment_red.svg.png)

Requested username:
Request reason:
Decline reason:
- I no longer have access to the account that I used to have. I don't remember what the email address was, etc. I would like to upgrade my Don Robertson (composer) Wikipedia page to provide a discography and to describe what I have done in my life. I would base the final layout on pages that other composers have and provide good citations (there have been articles written about me). If I am forbidden to do that, then I will accept that and assume that someday, others will do that instead. I am OK with that. However, I still would like to have an account to edit other Wikipedia pages. I would gladly either use my old account or this new one if it were available, but I would need to understand whether I am able to edit my own page or not. I would appreciate your comment on that. I read the COI page and I see that editing my own page is not recommended. I am wondering, should one of my accounts be available, if should I continue to edit it, will I be blocked again. Thanks so much for this quick reply. Don Robertson Musical Kaleidoscope (talk) 16:38, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Please make a new request for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 19:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- Whoever deleted the additions that I had made to the external links section on my Wikipedia page also deleted ALL of the external links, including those that were placed there by someone else previously. One of those was the link to my website donrobertsonmusic.com. That link has been on this Wikipedia page for a long time. Is there a possibility that the original links that were already on the page be restored? It looks like I am not going to be given back my ability to edit Wikipedia. 69.130.129.237 (talk) 15:35, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
