Am I unblocked??
Well now I see a bot has taken my last line totally out of context and made it appear that I am being argumentative. I am not.
To be clear; my last activity was to try and upload photographs of historical importance. THAT is the activity I would continue if unblocked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:1D10:7EB0:E4FF:A681:7F5F:B950 ( talk) 22:33, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
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 that 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.
{{
unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Request reason:
I edited a location page to include my own business which I didn't know was against the rules. Won't happen again. I have some photographs of historical places I'm trying to upload. EX: the Dixie Court Hotel in West Palm Beach, FL. This location is on the National Historic Register but no photographs exist online. I want to upload the photos of this place as it existed in the 1930's guessing by the style of the automobiles. Can you assist

- Can you explain why you said that your previous user name, "OrlandoBodyguard", was not the name of a business, considering that it is the name of a business, and that you have now referred to that business as "my own business"? I think it highly unlikely that any administrator will unblock your account as long as that matter is not addressed. JBW ( talk) 22:24, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hello, sorry for the tardy reply but I am new to Wiki and didn't understand how the "talk" feature worked. I'm still not entirely positive if this is the right place to post. If it's not, apologies to whoever reads this. To address the questions: There is no business named "Orlando Bodyguard." Orlando Bodyguard is my personal non deplume and has been for 30 years. The name and domain "Orlando Bodyguard" IS associated with my business because I am associated with my business. The name of my business is B6 Security & Investigations, NOT Orlando Bodyguard. I did link to my business website which can be found by googling the name of the business. My business is located up the street from other businesses that have WiKi pages. I have already acknowledged that MY business is nowhere near as important as the businesses up the street. I have already acknowledged that I should NOT have linked to ANY business website for any reason. I have already acknowledged that nobody really cares about my business or anything I may contribute to WiKipedia. I apologized for my transgressions against the WiKi rules. Please unblock if this is an appropriate or sufficient apology
Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
- the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
- the block is no longer necessary because you
- understand what you have been blocked for,
- will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
- will make useful contributions instead.

If you're not going to use Wikipedia to advertise your business, your services, or anything else that you have a potential conflict of interest, I think we can unblock you. The idea of Wikipedia is that you're supposed to volunteer your time to write encyclopedia articles about World War II, windmills in the Netherlands, and the Academy Awards. Although we do have articles on business, they were (hopefully) written by people without a COI, and they are written as encyclopedia articles. Intel, for example, is a history of the company, not a brochure of its products. It often takes a while before you totally "get" how Wikipedia does things, but we come down pretty hard on people who seem to be abusing the website for advertising.

Hopefully this is The right place to reply.
To answer the question, “what would I edit?” I would answer, “items of obscure but historically significant value.” The last attempt I made to edit anything was to add some old photographs of a building that once held a very prominent place in 1930’s Florida.
I come from a family of Florida Pioneers and have inherited an extensive collection of interesting old photographs. I had attempted to edit these photos (mostly buildings, bridges, hurricane damage from the 30’s and 40’ss, etc) into the wiki pages where they would bring value.
If unblocked I would continue that activity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:1D10:7EB0:4D9F:32AC:505:485A ( talk) 04:51, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
