Hello, I'm Joshua Jonathan. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Kriya Yoga (Yoga school) that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 08:52, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first pages you edited was Kriya Yoga (Yoga school), which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that page.
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
If you've had a new article rejected or deleted, new article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chatAgain, welcome! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:48, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
- Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
- 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|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. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:49, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Requested username:
yoga related reviews (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Request reason:
I want to show in my username that I do (critical) yoga reviews.
It is true that I should not have used the name Patanjali as a username because it is the name of the famous author of the Yoga Sutras.
Unfortunately, the name Patanjali is not generally blocked and is also used by other users, so I did not notice the incorrect use.
I have absolutely NO affiliation with Kriya Yoga (Yoga school) before Kriya Yoga and now Kriya Yoga school and I am NOT receiving any payment for my contributions here.
With my activities in the article about this organization, I have uncovered the improper activities of two professional Wikipedia editors.
As a consequence, one of your editors defamed me on my user page with a DS alert because of alleged interests in Pakistan and Afghanistan (see history).
The name of the other professional Wikipedia editor associated with the Kriya Yoga organization is Red Rose 13
Patanjali Project (talk) 09:54, 15 September 2022 (UTC)Decline reason:
-Be careful in tossing around the word "defame". The notice you received about DS seems valid as you were editing about a topic with strong ties to India. (the DS are for topics related to all three countries, there is no way to alter the form message to include only one). Your choice of new username seems okay, but your unblock request should only talk about your actions and what you will do differently in the future. 331dot (talk) 08:39, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:
The claim that I could be involved in the commercial "Kriya Yoga Organization" is absurd and fictional. My neutral point of view and my objective contribution is clearly recognizable on closer inspection. I used Template:Confusing critically to show that the article is hiding its commercial background by pretending to represent a famous yoga philosophical concept of Patanjali. This article describes a commercial product from a commercial organization and meets all of the requirements to be marked as an essay. But instead of tagging the article as an essay, my user profile is tagged with suspicious interests in Pakistan and Afghanistan. That's absurd. A commercial organization might pay the editors of kind contributions, but certainly not me for my criticism. Patanjali Project (talk) 17:51, 16 September 2022 (UTC) I don't want any change in username as Patanjali Project is a fully compliant name and the saga of Patanjali is also part of other usernames. Counterstatement to the accusation uw-spamublock: All three main types of spam on Wikipedia are inapplicable to me because I did not do any a) advertisements masked as articles and contributions to articles, b) external link spamming and/or c) adding references with the aim of promoting the author or the work being referenced. Counterstatement to the accusation of promotional username: The username is used fully compiant to promote the yoga philosophy concept according to the saga of Patanjali. But it does not represent the name of a company, organization, website, product, musical group or band, team, club, creative group, or organized event. Counterstatement on the accusation of promotional edits: My edits were used to promote the yoga philosophy concept based on the saga of Patanjali. But this type of promotion is fully compiant because it does not represent the name of a company, organization, website, product, musical group or band, team, club, creative group, or organized event. Patanjali Project (talk) 11:15, 18 September 2022 (UTC) 2nd counterstatement on the allegation of promotional edits: As I already explained on September 15, 2022, I will make critical yoga reviews that the Kriya Yoga sect will not like. There are an enormous number of yoga articles on Wikipedia, with non-compliant promotional edits from the Kriya Yoga sect. This is also incompatible with the yoga philosophy of Patanjali. With the username "Patanjali Project" I will only do fully compliant edits and show the double problem: The promotional edits of the Kriya Yoga sect are a) incompatible with the Wikipedia compliance rules and b) incompatible with yoga ethics. Clear arguments are required against the Kriya Yoga sect's promotional campaign and my arguments for ending a non-compliant campaign are certainly not forbidden promotional edits. Patanjali Project (talk) 16:48, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Decline reason:
The unblock reason now seems to be that the user wants to counter something--which seems like the user has an axe to grind. Nothing in the user's edits give me reason to believe they're here to improve our beautiful project. For the record, there's no obvious socking (I did NOT look at all the evidence) but any CU who looks at the record will see there's good cause to be wary. Drmies (talk) 16:58, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:
The deacline reason of 27 September 2022 is based on assumptions and a fear that there's good cause to be wary. Although I generally accept this neutral assessment, I will continue the request to unblock my user account: The sanction of my user account block was only imposed as a result of an energetic and factually neutral discussion. I certainly don't have any ax to grind regarding Kriya Yoga; I'm even a friend of Yogananda's Bhagavad Gita. Unfortunately, because of enthusiasm for generally good things, the debate is far too energetic on both sides. Patanjali Project (talk) 19:38, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:
I have just blocked another sockpuppet, Dharma Journal frontal (talk · contribs), so I am declining this unblock request as there are no indications that you will be able to edit constructively if you are unblocked. I agree with Dreamy Jazz below that your talk page access is on the verge of being revoked. DanCherek (talk) 16:32, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

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.
- If you continue to modify others comments and make accusations of paid editing without evidence, I will remove your talk page access. My advice is to wait for the unblock request you have above to be reviewed and not make further edits here until that point or unless you are asked a question.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
