Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. 331dot (talk) 11:02, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

I am aware that the German Wikipedia permits and even encourages company accounts, but they are not permitted on the English Wikipedia. Each account here must be exclusively used by a single individual who can grant no one else access to their account. As I assume that you may not want to rename your company account, I would suggest that you create an account for your exclusive use, and once you do, please review the conflict of interest and paid editing policies for information on formal disclosures you are required to make, as well as how to contribute information about your organization properly. If you don't mind renaming this account, please follow the instructions above- but again, once you do, you cannot grant anyone else access to this account(such as colleagues or a successor to your position). 331dot (talk) 11:05, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
