You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! -- John of Reading (talk) 06:45, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Misplaced article
I noticed that you began to write an article at Wikipedia talk:Article wizard. I have undone your edit there, because that page is for discussing improvements to the Article Wizard itself. It is not a good place to submit content for the encyclopedia. I suggest that you look at Your first article and perhaps try again using the Article wizard. For an article to exist, you will need to find independent sources to demonstrate that the awards are "notable" in the way Wikipedia requires. -- John of Reading (talk) 06:45, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

July 2016
There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your 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 kind of 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  03:26, 30 July 2016 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 09:16, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
