Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended 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, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations 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, organization, or clients. 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, organization, or clients. 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 on your user talk page.
 * 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:31, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * We have no control over the policies of the French Wikipedia, just as their rules do not have any bearing on the English Wikipedia. So something that works over there may not be acceptable here. In this case, the article you posted was not a basic profile of a notable company; it seemed very much to be prmotional, going into detail about the business and its operations, even to the point of listing model numbers of its products. This is not acceptable under our policies. At best, such an article would read "Howleg is a French company specializing in the manufacture of equipment and machinery used to make paper bags. The company was founded in City, France in 1889." And then a brief overview of the company. You use "We" in your request, which implies that this account is actually editing on behalf of the company itself - and that, too, is not permitted under our policies. Even if this account were to be renamed and unblocked, do you understand - given your conflict of interest - that you would be unable to edit any page about Howleg?
