 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. 331dot (talk) 16:25, 6 September 2022 (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.

This edit is promotional, and you clearly edited about your organization. 331dot (talk) 16:52, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Your username suggestions that you work in communications with the National Propane Gas Association. If this is true, then you are considered to be a paid editor according to Wikipedia's paid editing disclosure policy. It is therefore mandatory that you openly disclose this information.


 * You should also take time to review Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Wikipedia has little interest in what a business or organization wishes to say about itself. We rely on what independent writers from reliable sources have chosen on their own to publish about the subject. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:26, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
