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 forbidden by policies, and also violates our username policy.

However, if you feel that there has been a mistake in your blocking, please appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or email 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). Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list. Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle friendly) 15:25, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

You were advertising your company. You may not continue to do this on this or any other account. Your username just made it all the more obvious that this is what you were up to. Mangojuicetalk 21:26, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply


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.

I am just trying to put more accurate information about my company on your website than what was already on there. I don't understand why you would just block my entry and my account with out taking into consideration my previous message. I didn't realize that it was unacceptable to create a username based on a company and I apologize for missing that. Could I just re-enter the page with a new username?

Well, yes, but we commend your attention first to our conflict of interest policy, which would pretty much preclude you from editing that page were it to be recreated, now that you've made this disclosure. And regarding recreation, please review our notability policy for businesses and organizations and consider whether yours would meet it. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
