Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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.

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|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. 331dot (talk) 17:21, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I understand the reason I was blocked, and realize that I didn't know I couldn't post as the organization I work for, but I will not repeat these actions again. I am trying to submit a simple information page about the organization (Greater Peoria Economic Development Council) so that people who are searching for us can learn more.

Decline reason:

Wikipedia does not have "simple information pages", because Wikipedia is not for merely providing information. Wikipedia has articles about organizations, typically written by independent editors, which summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, only in what others say about it. If you want to tell the world about your organization, you should use social media or your own website. If you are interested in being a general contributor, please tell what you want to edit about that is unrelated to your conflict of interest and paid editing status(please review). 331dot (talk) 17:37, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
