Blocked
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jayron  32  21:20, 1 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I have blocked this account because the entirety of its contributions has been to add links to and about the Chicago Manual of Style, and your username implies a direct connection with that publication. This is expressly forbidden by Username policy.  If you are associated with that publication, you should not be editing Wikipedia to add links and references to it.  If you are not associated with that publication, you should not be representing that you are through your username.  -- Jayron  32  21:20, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The "entirety" of my first contributions belonged to one topic. Yes, very interesting. The "direct" connection is via the internet, I use my eyes, a computer, a web browser, Google and then the website of the Chicago Manual of Style. Why is that a problem? I am not associated with that publication in so far, as I am a user. Why is that a problem? CMoSO (talk) 21:33, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * If you are not associated with them, you should not have a username that reflects that you are. Choose a different username that does not imply you represent them.  -- Jayron  32  01:45, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
