Username blocked
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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, please see how to appeal a block.

Your real name is certainly OK, but your request seems to indicate that you would edit in ways contrary to our external links policy. Daniel Case (talk) 17:04, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Under the conflict of interest guidelines, we all agree to avoid writing about or linking to our web sites. Knowing that you'll be avoiding the subject of your forum, do you still want the new username?  What other subjects do you think you'll be working on? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:37, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, sorry about the misunderstanding. With a new username I can focus on family travel in general, not on the forum. External links would only be used for citations on statistical data. I am interested in working on other travel / family trends articles as that is the field I know best. Kyle McCarthy Family Travel Forum 15:46, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
