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

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

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.

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?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:50, 24 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your email, in which you indicate that you do not think the article Corgan China was promotional. If you can write an article containing such language as, for example, "Corgan's exquisite design and attentive services have allowed the company to win over 50 years of loyal customers", and sincerely not see that as promotional, then I can only assume that one or both of the following applies to you. (1) You are so closely involved in the business that you are unable to stand back from it and see how what you write will look from the detached perspective of an outsider. (This is, in fact, one of the main reasons why Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline strongly discourages us from writing on subjects to which we have a close personal connection. Even with the best of intentions, it is very difficult to write about things one is closely involved in objectively.) (2) You work in marketing, and are so accustomed to marketing-speak that you have become desensitised to it, and don't see it when it is there. If either or both of those does apply then it is improbable that you will be able to write a suitable encyclopaedic article on this subject. However, if the subject is genuinely notable then very probably someone else, not involved in it, will write one. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:15, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
