Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. 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, website 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 such groups are generally discouraged from using 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, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here 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-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, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I apologise and wish to edit constructively.

Decline reason:

I have reviewed your unblock request and I will not be able to unblock you. Your username appears to represent a company or group, which is prohibited in our username policy. This is for two reasons: first, because our licensing requires all edits to be attributable to one person, which is complicated by an account that represents a group, not an individual; and second, because a username representing a company or group can be considered an advertisement for that group - an advertisement that's re-posted every time that username makes an edit. In addition to the issue of your username, you were blocked for promoting business interests on Wikipedia - adding either spam links, advertising material, or biased content supporting a business, product, or group - and that is a violation of our spam guidelines. As long as we have reason to believe that you will continue to behave in a promotional manner, the administrators of Wikipedia will be unable to unblock you.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

I wish to constructively edit Wikipedia, please give me another chance to do so.

Decline reason:

Per above - you can't use that user name. Suggest a new name not containing the company/site name, and preferably not containing 'official' either, and someone might give you a fresh chance. Use the 'unblock-un' template, and please post requests or new threads at the bottom of the page. It makes life easier by showing the order of posting. Peridon (talk) 08:53, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
