Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

CoolGames01450 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

My Selected Username has been Blocked. Also I want to apologize and have my contributions deleted so as to learn how to edit in Wiki correctly

Decline reason:

I applaud your wish to contribute to Wikipedia in a positive manner from this point on, but the main reason I am declining your request is because your requested user name still matches the name of your organization. You should pick a name not obviously linked to the Cool Games Network. I'll keep a watch on your page if there is another user name you'd like, and you can just write it under this template if you want. If the name seems appropriate I'll unblock you to allow you to request a username change, but please keep in mind our guidelines on promotion. -- Atama頭 17:41, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I believe I am doing this correctly. I am asking for the name change. Where will I find & use the new name once it is approved ?

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. You should see instructions at that link, if you have questions you can post them here (I'll keep watching your page for awhile) or ask on my talk page. -- Atama頭 18:57, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
