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, 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 this 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. Widr (talk) 13:44, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

{{unblock|A CIC is a Community Interest Company and NGO and not-for-profit organisation, based in Colchester that helps the unemployed. We are simelar to the Trussel Trust that manages the UKs foobanks or Citizens Advice. As we are recognised in the UK as a Community Interest Company by the government it is difficult to see how you can arrive at a different decision. We have a social purpose anbd that is monitored by government. My main concern at the moment is paginatioof my page. We are going to derop the word advertising as this might be controversial? Organsations in the UK from the World Wildlife Fund or British Heart Foundation (asd examples) all have charity shops or organisations that sell donor subscriptions. The argument that we are commercial and they are not it rather riduculous. I accept we may have to make some changes, in how we present ourselves but we are a not-for-profit helping the unemployed in particular. }
