 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, organisation, group, or 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. Cabayi (talk) 17:52, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

To be frank, Wikipedia is completely unconcerned with what you have been tasked with doing. Perhaps your superiors do not understand what Wikipedia actually is or what an article actually entails. A Wikipedia article is not necessarily desirable. There are good reasons to not want one. It cannot be locked to the text the company might prefer, nor can you 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. For you to succeed in writing about your company, you need to set aside everything you know about the company and all materials put out by the company, and only write based on the content of independent sources. Most people in your position have great difficulty with that. Feel free to show your superiors these comments. 331dot (talk) 22:52, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

I'd like to apologize for any trouble I may have caused -- however, I feel as if you are being incredibly vehement with me. I am only a 22-year-old intern, carrying out a task, trying to make ends meet. If you could find it to be a little more sincere and honestly a lot less rude, I would be happy to make the necessary changes, and still am. I would rather not feel attacked by the online community at Wikipedia; this space is just as much yours as it is mine. I can assure you, I am not creating a Wikipedia article for any monetary gain, promotion, or anything of the sort. The reason for me doing this is because not only was it a task, but this company is also creating a new lane and doing something no other company has done yet, which is a fact! Also, I have only been an intern for a mere matter of days, so if you think I am trying to use this promotionally you have me dead wrong. This is, like every other sincere Wikipedia article, a tried and true informational piece. As I said, I am sorry to have caused you any trouble. Also, I am happy to make the necessary changes needed to make this work; please let me know what I need to do in a clear, step-by-step format and I will do so no questions asked. I am sorry I didn't provide a change to my current username as I was unclear if I should have done so before hearing back about even regaining access to Wikipedia. Additionally, I am sorry if you think I have great difficulty being honest and writing from independent sources. Furthermore, I can easily find completely independent, non-employees who could write this page. If that is what I need to do, then please just state that without having to ridicule me, belittle me, and completely put me down for not knowing any better. I am sorry to have caused you any trouble. Have a good day.
 * My intention was not to be rude or belittling; simply to be direct and honest and give you information in order to avoid misunderstanding. It's hard to convey tone and emotion through text. If I caused bad feelings, I apologize. That was not my intention.
 * Please note that anyone you find to write for you would no longer be independent and would be subject to the same policies. Please also note that you don't have to be specifically compensated for editing to be a paid editor. Interns count as paid editors and are required by the Terms of Use to declare that paid relationship. Interns are compensated with the experience even if not paid in money. I will note that you say you were tasked with editing, so it is part of your duties as an intern.
 * As I said, merely providing information is considered promotional here. You don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about something or merely providing information. I appreciate that your intern work might be your job, but Wikipedia is not concerned with what people are tasked with doing by their employers. Your company is free to use social media or its own website to tell the world about itself and what it does. As I said, Wikipedia is interested in what others say about your company, not what it says about itself. You are free to make another unblock request for someone else to review, but unless you do as I stated above, the odds of success are low. 331dot (talk) 00:48, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
