Not sure where to put my proposed new username "Bill Spadea" please advise - thanks Buildingthenewmajority (talk) 21:50, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Addiitonally - can I just change the username to Bill Spadea? lemme know - thanks!

OK Orangemike - I just want to change the links and correctly attribute the quotes - no mention of the group - just want to have my youtube channel as a link so users and vistors can form their own opions about what I'm saying. Not trying to promote the group - or any candidacy - the media appearances are the reason that anyone googles me and finds this site. thought it was important to correctly attribute and to present the reasons I've even got a page - thanks for your quick response - hope I;ve clarified - I understand the rules

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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations 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. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  21:18, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Orangemike - the purpose of the edits to the Bill Spadea page was to correctly attribute the comments made regarding his discussed run for theUnited Staets Senate in 2006. Additionally, Bill is a regular guest appearing on dozens of news programs in the NYC area. This is a part of the narrative as Bill is a likely future candidate for pubic office. Every link provided was a directly attributable quote or organizational background. If Adding the political site of Building the New Majoritu violates the editing policy then perhaps a direct link to the bio page whci discusses Bill's background and reason for starting the group. This is not a soliciation for any organization or business. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buildingthenewmajority (talk • contribs)
