This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (It's a company info. page with no advertising or promotional info. at all. I'm new to this and I'm just pasting general company/services info.  Not sure what is advertising or promotional can you please tell me?) --Cervalis (talk) 15:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

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

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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

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, organization, or clients. 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?


 * 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. Peridon (talk) 17:36, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * If you can't see that that was promotional, I'd advise reading WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV (neutral point of view). Then WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Afterwards, WP:CORP for details of corporate notability, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources you need to prove it. (Should keep you out of mischief for a bit...) Not every company (or person, or hamster, or whatever) gets an article. This isn't like LinkedIn or AboutUs which host anybody's profile. This is an encyclopaedia. Would you expect to get an entry in the Britannica? OK, we are bigger and more inclusive, but we do have rules. Peridon (talk) 18:02, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
