Hello. I have seen your editing, and there are a few things you need to know about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
 * 1) Any kind of advertising or promotional editing, such as you did in the sandbox page you created, is not allowed.
 * 2) It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. In practice, material about a business copied from its own web site is scarcely ever acceptable anyway, with or without copyright permission, as it is virtually never written from a neutral point of view.
 * 3) Before doing any more editing about your business you should read the guideline on conflict of interest, which indicates that you should either not edit in relation to your business or do so only in a very constrained way.
 * 4) Wikipedia policy requires that a user account must be for an individual person acting in a personal capacity, and must not represent a business or other organisation, as your user name indicates your account does. You should therefore not continue to edit under your current user name, but something like "Martin at Euro Ceramic Centre" would be fine, and have the advantage of transparency about your connection to the subject you are writing about, at the same time as indicating that the account is an individual one. -JBW (talk)

 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. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:13, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
