I've read the note which you left on the article which you wrote about yourself (which is also a violation of our conflict of interest guidelines. Articles about musicians in Wikipedia are assessed against a set of criteria which can be found at WP:MUSICIAN and my examination of the article tells me that you haven't met those criteria. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to leave me a note. Accounting4Taste:talk 23:17, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. If you need any help with finding the relevant policies, or advice, any administrator and almost every other editor will be happy to help you. (And, yes, we are fast -- we have to be, because Wikipedia is exposed hundreds of times a day to various lawsuits for libel and thousands of pages are added every day that don't meet our policies in one respect or another... if we weren't fast, we'd be inundated beyond any possibility of catching up. There are dozens of volunteers doing new page patrol every minute.) I'm going to leave you our standard "welcome" message above, which will put a basic toolkit into your hands and give you some options to learn more about Wikipedia as you need to. And if I can be of any further assistance, just click on the word "talk" after my signature and leave me a further note. Accounting4Taste:talk 23:49, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.
