 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. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 14:40, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

You forgot to propose a new username, as you cannot use this one. Wikipedia does not allow account names that represent businesses or organizations; they must represent you as an individual. An acceptable variation would be something like "Chris at Spafaxmirrors". --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:11, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

 * You're not doing the unblock requests correctly. First of all, copy the unblock code from the talk page in the regular display mode, not from the editing window. By including the "nowiki" code, it prevents the template from rendering properly.
 * Secondly, put all your new posts at the bottom of the page. This keeps the discussion in the correct chronological order. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:28, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Drm310, they didn't include the nowiki code on purpose, there's an issue with Visual Editor and copy+pasting unblock requests - VPT post. 199.208.172.35 (talk) 21:29, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Chris at Spafax Mirrors. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page User:Spafaxmirrors/sandbox/Spafax Automotive Safety Solutions has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are  unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see this page on citing sources. This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat.

Hopefully this will help avoid the common pitfalls many new editors encounter. -- Deep fried okra  ( talk ) 16:44, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
