 Your account has been indefinitely blocked 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 username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of 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: 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) 10:25, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 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.


 * Good day,
 * We are the Drakensberger Breeder's Society of SA, and all we wanted to do, is update the info on Wikipedia because it's not correct. And sorry if we did it the wrong way, but I'm just trying to figure out how to post the correct information? DrakensbergerSA (talk) 10:45, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi! I'll try to take things in order:
 * you say 'we' – does that mean that more than one person has access to this account? If so, it won't be unblocked
 * if there's just one of you, you can submit an unblock request following the instructions above; you'll need to address the three bullet-points (Disclose ..., Convince ..., Describe ...) and also to choose a username that represents you as an individual – not necessarily a real name
 * please read our advice for paid editors and those with a conflict of interest. In either case you are strongly discouraged from editing affected pages (in your case, that'd be Drakensberger and any related page). Assuming you're unblocked, if you receive any payment from the society you'll also need to make a full paid-editor disclosure – I can help you with that later on. You may then request changes or improvements to that page on the relative talk-page, Talk:Drakensberger, always citing solid independent reliable sources when you do so.
 * Lastly, you may not copy non-free material from external sources into this project – we consider that to be copyright violation. It is possible to release such materials for anyone, anywhere to re-use in any way they want (please see here), but I might as well tell you straight away that such material is hardly ever suitable for an encyclopaedia, and is almost never used here.
 * Sorry to bombard you with instructions, but unfortunately you ran afoul of a significant number of strictly-enforced policies. Just out of curiosity, what in that short page is actually incorrect? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:53, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
