Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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 Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * 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: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 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bishonen &#124; talk 19:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Two accounts
I'm not sure if this account and User:Granite Countertops Houston are run by the same person, but it seems likely, as they were created within a short period of time and are clearly here to promote the same entity. Please note that Wikipedia is not for advertising. Bishonen &#124; talk 19:26, 20 October 2015 (UTC).

Your account is intrinsically promotional, as is the name of your other account. You may possibly achieve an unblock by following the instructions detailed in the block notification. Note that your chosen username absolutely must not be the name of any company or organization, and it is preferable also that it should not relate to whatever you wish to write about. Also note that because of conflict of interest policy you should not write about anything with which you are closely and personally involved. If you wish to write about your company, which is discouraged but not forbidden, do it via articles for consideration. It will then by assessed by an experienced but uninvolved editor before being posted in article-space. And using two accounts is allowed, so long as this is noted on the relevant user-pages, but they should not be used to edit the same article. One account only is better. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:13, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
