Request reason:

Please kindly remove the block on this account. I'm an intern working for Raindance Film Festival, and made the same mistake that a previous intern made of copying and pasting from the company website to create an new article on Wikipedia. Before I had a chance to edit my mistake, as I had intended to do before publishing, I was blocked by an administrator. It was a regrettable mistake, and once unblocked, the page will be immediately removed and I will make sure I carefully follow proper procedure.

Raindance is a free, non-profit advise and script consultancy service for independent filmmakers, and we rely heavily on the ability to publish information on Wikipedia. I'd be happy to send you the updated article text to review, prior your decision. Thank You!

Decline reason:

Sorry, but we don't allow organizations, groups, companies, agencies, or whatever to edit Wikipedia, nor do we allow people to edit on behalf of said organizations, etc. If you rely heavily on the ability to publish information on Wikipedia, you're going to be very disappointed; that is not the purpose of Wikipedia. --jpgordon::==( o ) 14:49, 28 July 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.

You would appear to have a major conflict of interest that would prevent you from neutrally editing Wikipedia. Which subjects, other than your company, do you propose to write about? ➲ REDVERS Buy war bonds 11:34, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Thanks for the reply. If providing free information to the public isn't the purpose of Wikipedia, what exactly is?

Decline reason:

No reason to unblock given. To answer your question, wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an information service. There is a difference. Feel free to post a further unblock request when you have answered the question from REDVERS. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 14:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
