Conflict of interest policy and Username policy
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. 

See WP:U for username policy --Ronz (talk) 19:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest''.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and forbidden by policies, and also violates our username policy.

However, if you feel that there has been a mistake in your blocking, please appeal this block by adding the text  on your user talk page or email the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  19:39, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, I was about to unblock you so you could make a username change request at Changing username; User:Jeffsixtwofive is available so you should have no trouble. But it is easier, as Oren0 suggests, to simply create a new account by logging out.  The only difference between the two approaches is that if you go through Changing username you get to keep the old edits you've made; in your case, I'd consider that a tossup: since they're bad edits, you might prefer to have a clean slate.  But if you do think it's important to keep your old edit history for some reason post a new request and I think it should be granted.  Mango juice talk 18:30, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
