 Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Account creation blocked, why?
331dot Hi, thank you for the quick answer. I'm not quite sure about this declared conflict. This account was created by another colleague of mine that doesn't for Digital Workforce anymore and now I got the task to create this article for us on here. I'm still new at this and still learning. In this case, would it be better if I created a new account with my name "Oona of DWF" and then write again the article for my office? What do you recommend? Thank you for the help, I truly appreciate it! BR,Digitalworkforce (talk) 09:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Since you did not create this account, it cannot be unblocked. Group/shared accounts/accounts associated with a position are not permitted. We can alter the block to permit you to create your own account, but this won't happen if your only intention is to edit about your company.
 * You and your company seem to have a fundamental (and common) misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. It is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves; that's considered promotional here, you don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something.  This is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about (in this case) a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company.  Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself, only in what others completely unconnected with the company choose to say about it.(so no press releases, brief mentions, announcements of routine business activities, staff interviews, the company website, or other primary sources).  Wikipedia is also completely uninterested in enhancing search results for a company or in its "internet presence". Your company should also keep in mind that a Wikipedia article is not necessarily desirable.  There are good reasons to not want one.  You could not lock it to the text you might prefer, or prevent others from editing it.  Any information, good or bad, about your company can be in an article about it as long as it appears in an independent reliable source.
 * The draft you wrote was sourced to nothing but press releases and routine announcements. Wikipedia is looking for independent, in depth coverage of the company. In order for you to be successful in writing about your company, you would need to forget everything you know about it, and everything in routine coverage of the company, and only write based on the content of independent sources.  Most people in your position have great difficulty in doing that, become frustrated, and fail in their efforts.  If you just want to tell about your company, you should use social media or your company website.   Lastly, and to be frank, Wikipedia has no interest in what your company has tasked you with doing.  Feel free to show your boss or superiors this message. 331dot (talk) 09:48, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

331dot Hi, thank you again! This is very helpful information. In this case, do you think renaming the account to "Oona of DWF" and then writing an article ONLY based on our company information, no promo, is best? Please, I only hope to find a solution to this. It is important for people to find our company also here on Wikipedia, at least the info of it. We have no intention of promoting our company here. Just the basic info.
 * You regrettably have not listened to what I said. What you call "basic info" is considered promotional here. Wikipedia is not a business directory with "basic info".  As I said, we have no interest in what you have been tasked with doing by your employer.  Please show your superiors these messages. 331dot (talk) 10:15, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:DigitalWorkforce1-logo-RGB.png
Thanks for uploading File:DigitalWorkforce1-logo-RGB.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 03:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
