January 2020
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 about some topic other than 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. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC) I couldn't figure out how to disclose that I work for designs for a cause to write the article. Wasn't intended to advertise the products and services, but rather to note the company exists. I was told I could write and article about a topic I was close to if I disclosed that, but I suppose I didn't do that correctly. Is it possible to unlock my account so that I can attempt to do it again? Also, after reading the link I need to change my username to me instead of the company. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. DesignsForACause (talk) 21:51, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi DesignsForACause and welcome to Wikipedia. To be frank, you have been misinformed. I take it you also did not read WP:COI or WP:DISCLOSE? You won't be unblocked to simply just write about your company. What you were doing was considered promotion by Wikipedia standards. Have you even reviewed our notability requirements for companies? Everyone on Wikipedia must be here to help improve it. You will need to tell myself and another admin (whoever reviews the request) what other topics you will edit if unblocked. Now, regarding the username....our username policy requires users accounts to be made for an individual. So, your username can be JaneDoeAtDesignsForACause or Love2Desin, BostonGirl1234, anything that represents that this account is used by one person.
