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|I did not promote any company or group; my only change was to the article on bees, since I found two lines were biased and exhibited awkward phrasing. My username, likewise, is a personal nickname, and is not affiliated with any group of which I am aware. My replacement username will be w5f5skel1, if this has not been taken.}} 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. Cirt (talk) 10:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
