Blocked
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest''.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and forbidden by policies, and also violates our username policy.

However, if you feel that there has been a mistake in your blocking, please appeal this block by adding the text   or email the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list.


 * You've not been blocked for content, but rather, just for your user name; we don't allow user names that are names of companies (etc.) All you need do is ask for your account to be renamed. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 14:34, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I have changed my user name via the Signature feature. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience.

Note from reviewing admin
You'll have a much better chance of getting unblocked if you say you read WP:COI and will avoid editing articles which give the impression of a conflict of interest. Toddst1 (talk) 08:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. Someone else suggested renaming my account (even though it is my email account name). How do I go about re-naming? Thanks.
