There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

 * Each language version of Wikipedia is its own project, with their own editors and policies. Some other language versions allow and even encourage business/organization names as usernames, but that is not allowed on the English Wikipedia.  This was made a little more complicated when usernames were made global across all projects.  Using your own name is acceptable as a username.  Regarding your edits, Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself.  Wikipedia articles should only summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about companies, showing how the company meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company.  This is usually done by independent editors, not company representatives.  As a company representative, you have a conflict of interest and are a paid editor; if unblocked, you will need to review and formally comply with those policies(the latter is a Terms of Use requirement).
 * Your draft was problematic because your language was promotional("Componenta is the leading manufacturer of cast and machined metal components in Finland" is an opinion) and your draft only told about your company. As I indicated, Wikipedia article must do more- only telling what others say about your company, not what it wants to say about itself- which it is free to do on its own website or social media accounts. Do you want to edit about any other topics besides your company? 331dot (talk) 09:45, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
