Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Yunshui 雲 ‍ 水  10:01, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

How to propose corrections
Hello, 16volt.

As an uninvolved administrator reviewing the tag on the article, I noticed that you had commented that your goal had been to correct misinformation in the article. I wanted to drop you a note about the best way to do that to avoid problems.

FAQ/Article subjects talks about the sorts of errors you may and probably should fix yourself as well as the kind you generally should not. If you want to propose larger changes or additions to the article, the best way to do so is generally through the talk page. This allows people who are not connected to the subject to evaluate them and determine if they are consistent with Wikipedia's policies.

As Wikipedia has grown, it's developed greater problems with people attempting to subvert it to promote their own business interests and this has resulted in a great deal of caution around potential conflict of interest editing. Our goal is to have accurate and reliable articles about subjects, but the best way to avoid issues is to collaborate closely with the volunteers in developing it.

You also have the option of reaching out to the volunteer email response team at info-en-q@undefinedwikimedia.org if you have questions about our processes or if there are serious issues with the article that you feel need to be addressed. This is a team of experienced volunteers; Wikipedia is governed by consensus, so they are not authorities over content, but they generally understand policies quite well and can help you determine what is possible under our policies and what is not. If you choose to reach out to them, I hope that they will be able to give you swift assistance. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:42, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
