 Your account has been indefinitely blocked 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 username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of 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: 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. JBW (talk) 12:21, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 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.


 * There's no suggestion that what you posted was fake news, or that it wasn't how it happened. The problem is that Wikipedia is not a medium for companies to publicise information about themselves. Almost all of us when we first edit Wikipedia do so without knowing anything about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and so many of us (including myself) unfortunately do things which are not permitted by Wikipedia policy. In your case, you have unfortunately gone out of line with policies on promotion and on accounts representing businesses. If you would like to start contributing to Wikipedia in a neutral way on topics unrelated to yourself and your company, then you are of course totally welcome to do so, but if your only interest is in telling people about your business, then Wikipedia isn't the place to do so.
