If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP), good luck, and have fun. – S Philbrick (Talk) 11:57, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking

Despite my welcome, it was necessary to block your account for two related reasons. First, we permit a wide variety of usernames, but we do not permit usernames that sound like the name of an organization if that username is used to edit the the article about the organization. See our username policy here: Wikipedia:Username_policy

Second, you are introducing material into the article which is a direct copy of material from a copyrighted site. That is not permitted. In some cases, it may be appropriate to incorporate material from a copyrighted site but we need explicit written permission from the copyright holder. Please contact me if you need more information on this, although I don't think it's likely to be the right course of action in this case.--S Philbrick (Talk) 12:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)--S Philbrick (Talk) 12:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

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

Decline reason:

That's an abbreviation that still appears to represent the organization. You need to choose a username that represents only yourself as an individual (real name not needed, just a nickname of some sort), though usernames of the form "name at organization" are also allowed. Please see Wikipedia:Username policy for more information. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:58, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, for an unblock request to be considered, it would need to address the blatantly promotional material you tried to add. Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral third-party perspective, and not written in a marketing style. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:02, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and you'll need to address your copyright violations too. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:04, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Finally (and sorry for this bit-wise response), as the block was back in 2016, please confirm whether you are the same person who was using this account back then. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:06, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In order to be considered for unblocking, you'll need to address your inappropriate editing. Yamla (talk) 13:09, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I intend to re-write the entire content as it is very biased, I wish to write from a third party view. All of the references and copyright will be altered/fixed. This is the same user as 2016, I have not logged in since to see the block.

I have globally renamed User:Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP) to User:Garybell12345, and someone else will review your unblock request. I'll just also draw your attention to Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest and Paid contributions disclosure policies. The latter encompasses the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use, and explains how you should make any necessary disclosure. You would need to comply with both policies, so please click on those links and be sure to understand them. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:37, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please advise how I can do this without you unblocking me from editing content? I wish to remove the in correct information and update as it's invalid and copyrighted.

You will have to get yourself unblocked before you can, for example, make the required disclosure on your user page. For that to happen, I suggest you make a new unblock request in which you address the full reasons for your block and your understanding of the problems, make a commitment to abide by the policies that have been linked, explain your connection with the Institute of Information Security Professionals, and convince a reviewing admin that you should be unblocked. As for the copyright violations you added, they have already been removed. If you see any copyright violation still in the article, feel free to quote it here and provide a link to the original source, and I (or someone else) will take a look at it.
