User talk:OllieSmith777

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Expertsure", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 10:35, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There have been two problems identified with this account: 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 or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf^(talk) 15:14, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hey, I got the request about my username and made a request to change it. The other issue about 'promotion' is not the case. We are advised by Google to update links when a domain name is changed, nothing malicious at all. You can check all the re-directs are 100% correct. Please check the original domain ecolocalzier.com has now undergone a name change to expertsure.com. We are just updating the link to reflect the actual URL not the old re-directed URL to save users time and provide accurate citations. Please see this video from Google, they specifically mention doing this with wikipedia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wATxftE8ooE and a wikipedia article about link rot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot I have no intention of adding any other content to wikipedia except these edits.

Decline reason:

I appreciate your efforts to combat linkrot. I have dealt with all remaining links to EcoLocalizer. Since you have no intention of making any other edits, there is now no reason to unblock this account. Thanks again for notifying us of this issue. Huon (talk) 21:05, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
