Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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 against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  18:54, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

If you are an employee of Bepro, you are a paid editor, you do not need to be specifically paid or directed to contribute. What do you intend to edit about if unblocked, since you won't be unblocked to continue to violate WP:COI ? 331dot (talk) 17:10, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi there. Ok, I see your point, thanks for the feedback. The primary reason I have joined the Wikipedia community is to create a simple page about Bepro which I would then continue to manage. Alongside this I intend to review content (created by others) on a monthly basis to support with editing. If I were to add more COI content to my account and the article I created about Bepro, would it stand a chance of being approved? Everything I included in my article is objective and I am happy to update it if it is felt that this would then allow it to be published. Thanks!
 * In my experience, when people in your position say they want to create a "simple page" they don't realize that is considered promotional on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place for businesses to tell the world about themselves, even if they are not soliciting customers or selling something. Wikipedia is also not a place to just tell about something. This is an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the definition of a notable organization). Wikipedia much prefers that this be done by independent editors completely unconnected with the subject. Usually people in marketing aren't able to follow these guidelines, because their goals and those of Wikipedia are fundamentally different. 331dot (talk) 12:27, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I would add that any article about your company would not belong to your company, you would not have exclusive control over what it says, and you could not prevent others from editing it. Any information, good or bad, can be in an article about your company as long as it appears in an independent reliable source. See WP:PROUD. 331dot (talk) 12:30, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you again for your guidance - it is very helpful. With regards to your second series of points, are you suggesting these with regards to any employee writing about their employer, or about the article I created specifically? I ask because I am very happy to add notes about me not owning the article and others editing it. Appreciate your help!
 * It is not necessary to add any notes to that effect; that is the working assumption with Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
