This 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:Business' FAQ 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. Ioeth _{(talk contribs friendly)} 19:47, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:

I am trying to follow the guidelines for going about submitting an article for my company. I have moved the content to a subpage of this account and am attempting to cite at least two references.Camsys (talk) 20:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Per FisherQueen. If someone had already written an article on the company, it would be possible under the COI guidelines to engage in some limited editing of it. But creating the article yourself is right out. Please read WP:BFAQ and communicate its contents to your Marketing Department. Mangojuice^talk 20:53, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

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'm afraid there isn't a way to follow the guidelines and still write about your own company; under the conflict of interest guidelines, we all agree not to write about ourselves or our own businesses. Now that you know that you won't be writing about your own company, are you still interested in participating at Wikipedia? What other kinds of edits do you think you'll be making? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:10, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
