User talk:Adicio

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Adicio

Thanks for your email.

The main thing to remember is that you are very strongly discouraged from writing about any company or organisation you represent. The details are under Conflict of interest. Wikipedia is absolutely not for promotion, and the Neutral point of view is essential. It is very hard to be neutral about a company you represent. While not absolutely forbidden it is usually only permitted under exceptional circumstances.

The reason you were blocked is that your username can be seen as promoting your company. That is absolutely forbidden, and the user will not be unblocked. However you are free to create a new username and to edit articles.

I strongly recommend that you do not write about your company. If it is well-known enough to deserve an article, someone else will do it. There are plenty of other articles that need editing, and you are welcome to contribute to them.

I hope that helps. DJ Clayworth (talk) 00:21, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
