Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use 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. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   21:01, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Please help me understand
HJ Mitchell, Please help me understand why you blocked me? Is it my name or link?

My name: CatholicWarfare? I see others use the word Catholic in their name so that must be safe. Warfare? Because I've been involved in exorcisms in the past I know it's a personal warfare for some individuals so I used Warfare. I am willing to change my name to anything you prefer, what my name is is not what matters.

The site I linked to? www.CatholicWarfare.com

I am not an organization, group or club. I'm an individual who has seen and been involved with many exorcisms by Catholic priest. I have researched the subject at great lengths and created a website that summarizes the 50+ books I have used for research to come to the conclusion that evil spirits do exist and, at the will of God, do inhabit a few poor souls on earth.

I and the website www.CatholicWarfare.com sell no products and make no money from this work, research or website - it is purely educational, has always been and will always be so. If you look closely at the site you will find no place that I can profit from this site.

www.CatholicWarfare.com has been an external link on Wikipedia since 2005 - up until it was deleted by a spammer a couple of months ago - Mr. Ray Stedman. Mr. Stedman came in and deleted ALL the existing external links (There were 8 at my last count) from the page and replaced it with ONLY his own - which links to books he sells. Last week all I did was put my link back where it was. I didn't even delete his as he deleted mine.

I did not have a user name before but in case this became an issue and Mr. Stedman continued to delete relevant links, and mine, so that his book would always be the only link on the page, I could contact the admins a Wikipedia and point out his activities. That is the only reason for creating a name in the first place.

Please check the past history of the page and you will see everything I tell you is true.

My goal is just to get the external link back on Wikipedia for www.CatholicWarfare.com as it has been sense 2005.
