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. Acroterion (talk) 14:34, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

HI,

Disclosure:

I am one of the founders of Canobi Technologies Inc., and I am not receiving any compensation for my contributions here (as per your disclosure guidelines). I believe I disclosed this affiliation by adding the appropriate tag at the top of the user article, though I may not have done so correctly and welcome guidance on proper protocol.

Convince :

I have been a supporter and donor to Wikipedia since its inception, fully understanding that it is not a platform for advertising or promotion. My intent in creating this page is not to promote Canobi Technologies but to contribute to Wikipedia’s mission as one of the greatest repositories of peer-reviewed information. I wanted to initiate an article about Canobi Technologies, detailing our history and role in the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) sector, with the understanding that it would be subject to peer review. My plan was to include a link to our website solely to encourage others to contribute to the article’s accuracy and to related topics. As a small business, we lack the resources to hire professional writers for such content. The data in the article was compiled from external AI tools (Grok, ChatGPT, and Claude), reflecting an impartial, third-party perspective. My goal is not to create a promotional piece but to start a transparent, factual conversation about Canobi and contribute to the growing body of knowledge in CEA.

Describe:

After many years of using Wikipedia as a trusted source of unbiased information, I have finally created an account. As a subject matter expert in CEA, SaaS, technology infrastructure, and food security, I aim to contribute more actively across these areas. My goal is to share knowledge and enhance the platform’s coverage of these critical and evolving fields.

Provide:

My username reflects my company’s unique name only because all variations of my personal usernames were unavailable. I now understand this may raise concerns, and I am happy to use Wikipedia’s search engine to find an alternative username. I will propose a new username via the appropriate username change process to ensure transparency and compliance with community guidelines.

This user is asking to be unblocked to request a change in username.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I had originally used our company name as none of the typical personal usernames were available, I did not think to try my full name with spaces.

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=Robin Vincent | 3=I had originally used our company name as none of the typical personal usernames were available, I did not think to try my full name with spaces. | 4=~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=Robin Vincent | reason=I had originally used our company name as none of the typical personal usernames were available, I did not think to try my full name with spaces. | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after “decline=”, a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=Robin Vincent | reason=I had originally used our company name as none of the typical personal usernames were available, I did not think to try my full name with spaces. | decline={{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

Please read WP:COI concerning best practices for editors with a conflict of interest, and WP:CORP, which governs the inclusion criteria for companies and organizations. You will not be permitted to directly edit any content about your company. Please tell us what you would like to do instead to contribute to the encyclopedia.

Hi,

I have read the Conflict of Interest (COI) guidelines, and I am willing to declare my conflict on the original article. I understand that I will not edit any articles directly related to Canobi Technologies or any other entities where I have a conflict of interest beyond this point. Once the article is public, any changes I would like to recommend would go through the talk pages.

For instance, I was about to add a list of third-party references (which to my knowledge have no COI; in fact, many are sources I am unfamiliar with, as they were selected by various AI platforms) to support the information in the article. Assuming the article is approved, do I make these recommendations here? CanobiAgTech (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So, what will you edit instead of articles concerning your company? Acroterion (talk) 16:18, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
