User talk:HeurichHouse

October 2011
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because of your username, HeurichHouse, being a group acount or an account representing a business. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Edison (talk) 22:21, 23 October 2011 (UTC)


 * A Wikipedia account is to be operated by an individual, not a museum. An individual is welcome to create an account, and cite the statements added to the Heurich Brewery article to the historical section of the museum's website, or even better to books, magazine articles, or newspaper articles as more reliable sources than historical statements of unknown sourcing on a website.

 * Please only post one appeal template at a time; multiple templates make it confusing for administrators reviewing your block. Thank you. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 02:30, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 02:31, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
