Hello THOR Global Defense Group,

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. 331dot (talk) 19:21, 26 April 2018 (UTC)


 * You were blocked because 1) your username violates the username policy as it is that of a business and 2) your edits were promotional in nature. To be unblocked, you will first need to confirm that only one person is using this account(you use "we" above). You will need to request a new username as described above that indicates you as an individual user. A name in the format of "YourName of THOR GDG" would be acceptable(you don't have to use your real name). You will also need to indicate that you have read and intend to comply with WP:COI and WP:PAID(complying with the latter is required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use if you are a paid editor).
 * You will also need to agree to not directly edit about your company, instead using indirect means to edit about it- but only if you have proper independent reliable sources that indicate how your company meets WP:ORG, the notability guidelines for organizations. Wikipedia has no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself. In order to be successful in writing about your own company, you will need to forget everything you know about it and only write based on what independent sources state. This is usually difficult for people in your situation to do.  If all you want to do is tell about your company and its products, you will not be unblocked. 331dot (talk) 19:57, 26 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm confused, you seem to represent this company. Are you an employee of the company that has been tasked with editing Wikipedia?  If yes, you are a paid editor.  331dot (talk) 21:05, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion, I was also very confused. I had to re-read the WP:COI & WP:PAID since I am totally new to Wikipedia and already stepping on toes. Apologies. I had a misunderstanding that WP:PAID pertained to paid editors who consulted outside of the business or company. I am an employee which makes me a paid editor. I would like to also comply with the WP:PAID terms and clear up any confusion here. Thank you.
 * Multiple unblock requests at one time are not necessary. See WP:Conflict of interest for information on how to disclose this information. —Jeremy v^_^v  Bori! 21:33, 26 April 2018 (UTC)


 * I have globally renamed User:THOR Global Defense Group to User:Alfred Romero of THOR GDG, and someone else will review your unblock request. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:00, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I am inclined to unblock. - what are your thoughts here?  SQL Query me!  02:16, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It would be nice to know what they intend to edit about- but I have no problem with you unblocking as they have said they won't edit about their company. 331dot (talk) 07:57, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
