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.

Request reason:

Please accept my apologies. It was not clear to me that I should not create/select a username that suggested it was done by the group for unethical purposes and to evade identification. I am happy to change the name to something more appropriate. I will review all of the guidelines and make sure that I am in compliance with Wikipedia guidelines. I am interested in assisting by writing articles, since I am employed as a writer for a major corporation and enjoy using the skills on personal projects.

Decline reason:

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.

  • Since you have very few contributions, it'll be easier for you to wait a day until your automatic IP block expires, and then create a new account. In the meanwhile, you can review the guideline on conflict of interest - it is strongly recommended that you do not create an article about yourself, your organization, or a similar topic. (And please do not publish your password anywhere on Wikipedia or elsewhere on the Internet - it'd make your account insecure and liable to be blocked.)
