Request reason:

I did not know what I was doing was wrong. My boss told me to update the Wikipedia page for our company. We didn't realize it was against the rules

Decline reason:

You didn't just "update the Wikipedia page" about your company, you added a blatant advertisment to the Wikipedia article about your company. Now that you know this will not be permitted, please describe what edits you wish to make as a general, individual Wikipedia contributor. As part of that, you will need to review and agree to comply with the conflict of interest and paid editing policies. You will also need to propose a new username that complies with the username policy. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 16:57, 11 February 2020 (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.

Please note that the article about your company(not just a "page") should summarize what independent reliable sources say about your company, not what the company wants to say about itself. If there is incorrect information in the article about your company, we want to know what it is, but you should not directly edit the article about your company per the policies I mention above. (compliance with the paid editing policy is a Terms of Use requirement) You may make formal edit requests detailing changes you feel are needed, but advertisements will not be permitted. Feel free to show your boss this message. If you are just here to represent your company, this is the end of the road for your Wikipedia career. If you want to be a general contributor, please do as I ask above. 331dot (talk) 16:57, 11 February 2020 (UTC)Reply


Can I ask what part of my edits was an "advertisement?" So I know in the future.

{{request|edit}} There is information on the Summit Medical Group "article" that was incorrect. I understand no longer making edits that advertise the company but the following information is wrong and needs to be updated. Two new main locations have been added to Summit Medical Group's main locations that the public should know about (Clifton and Fair Lawn). Also we would like to provide a list of the services the company offers so everyone can know. Also the affiliations section has hospitals that SMG is no longer affiliated with. These are the hospitals we are currently affiliated with Chilton Medical Center, Hackensack UMC Mountainside Hospital*, Hackensack University Medical Center*, Morristown Medical Center*, Overlook Medical Center*, St. Barnabas*, St. Joseph’s, The Valley Hospital*. The ones with astericks are hospitals where SMG has a doctor on site. Also something that needs to be added is that summit medical group has merged with CityMD last year.

How do I change my username?
