Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 18:01, 19 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Dear Alexf,
 * please unblock our username. According to the article "Wikipedia: Naming conventions for companies" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(companies)), it should be possible for us as a non-profit organization to use the name "Deutsches Institut für Normung".
 * Many thanks and best regards
