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

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Because Wikipedia does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Using Wikipedia for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
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 instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Wikipedia:Appealing a block for more information. Smashville^talk 14:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|This page is not for promotional purposes. It is supposed be educational. Please change my user name to smalljessica. I misunderstood the username policy, but I understand the problem now.}}OSUHSCGH (talk) 14:59, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I actually removed the portion preventing account recreation. You should be able to create that account. The main reason this one is unacceptable is that it implies it is under control by more than one person. You are free to create your own account, however. --Smashville^talk 15:00, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure that I understand. What did I do to imply that it is being used by more than one person? Do I need to set up a different account?OSUHSCGH (talk) 15:04, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The account implies it is in use by the entire OSUHSCGH as opposed to just one individual. If you go through the same steps you used to set up this account and set up and individual account, you will be allowed to edit, as long as it isn't promotional. I haven't blocked your IP, only this particular username...and not through anything you've done wrong, just because it's against username policy to have accounts such as this that imply that more than one person might be using them. --Smashville^talk 15:09, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize and understand. Is it possible to change the user OSUHSCGH to smalljessica so that I retain my auto-confirmed user status?OSUHSCGH (talk) 15:10, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave your unblock request up so someone can get to it. I admit that it's not my area of expertise. --Smashville^talk 15:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked and found a page that says I can do a user name change request by entering the text below, but I couldn't because I got a blocked user, IP, IP address message. How should I resolve this?

OSUHSCGH → Jeds79

Current name: OSUHSCGH (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google) (ping user)
Requested name: Jeds79 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · target logs · block log · list user · global contribs · central auth · Google)
Previous renames: current user, target user, Queue: open req, closed req
For global renamer: rename user
Reason: Need new username that isn't a company name. OSUHSCGH (talk) 19:25, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I have unblocked you to request the above username change at the appropriate location, which is at WP:CHU. Please make the request there. Also, changing your username does not eliminate your Conflict of Interest. You should avoid editing or creating articles about people or organizations with whom you are closely involved; regardless of the nature or purpose of those organizations. Since this username is not compliant with our policies, you should not edit any articles until the username request is filed and completed at WP:CHU. --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 01:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

{{helpme}}I would like to delete two images. How can I do this? They keep coming up in searches that I do.OSUHSCGH (talk) 12:24, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, you were unblocked only to allow you to request a username change. Please do not make any edits outside your user pages until your username has been changed.

If you are referring to images you uploaded, then you may request a speedy deletion of the images under criteria G7, which allows an author to request deletion of a page he or she created as long as no other substantial content has been added. To do this, add {{db-g7}} to the top of the image pages, and they should be deleted by an administrator.

If there are images that you have not uploaded yourself that you want to delete, there are two options. If the images meet certain criteria like being redundant, empty, or a copyright infringement, then you may request a speedy deletion. The list of criteria for speedy deletion of a file can be read at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files. In an image you haven't uploaded doesn't meet one of these criteria, then you can request a deletion at Wikipedia:Files for deletion by following the instructions there.

Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao ^talk 12:57, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
