User:CaroleHenson/VP proposal

If I understand correctly, the two templates under "Starting points" are good templates to use for changes to other existing block templates. The other three templates are ones that could be improved and are replicated (somewhat, the best this non-techy person can do) and the verbiage changed under the "Drafts" section.

Thoughts and questions:

• I am not quite sure that I understand, though, when the {{Blocked user}} template should be used; It kind of looks like an indef scenario.
• I don't know if the email address is correct on the indef block. And, would anyone have their talk page blocked if it was just for a period of time.
• Would it be helpful to add the link to Commons:Blocking policy#Appealing a block? It was mentioned as an option, and seems to make sense for the indef block, but I know the advice was also to keep it simple. Feel free to edit for this - or let me know your thoughts and I'll make the edits. added to the templates per discussion page.

Feel free to post comments at User talk:CaroleHenson/VP proposal if they are lengthy... and feel free to make edits for improvements.CaroleHenson (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

{{Promotional user block}}

Your account has been blocked

Blocked Indefinitely

There have been two problems with this account: The account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is against policy and outside the project scope of Wikimedia Commons. The username indicates that the account represents a group or company and considered a promotional username which is also against the username policy. As a result of these 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|Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. If unblocked, you may then request to be renamed to a username in accordance with our username policy. If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block using the same method. See block log.
