You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used mainly for spamming or advertising. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

My reply that I sent to your email, repeated here for full disclosure:

You are blocked because your first edit was to create a promotional page for your university, from an account that implies that it is editing on behalf of your university. Just because you may be a non-profit doesn't mean that you aren't acting to generate interest in your university.

If you weren't intending to spam the encyclopedia, my apologies. When the autoblock has lifted in 24 hours, please feel free to create an account that represents only you (though it doesn't have to be your real name, and actually we suggest that it doesn't reference your real life identity). While we don't recommend that you edit on subjects that you have a conflict of interest in, if you were to create a neutrally phrased article that is well supported by reliable sources and states why the university is notable I don't think anyone would object. However, if you create an article with similar promotional text to the one I deleted you'll likely find yourself blocked again.

Hope this helps. Syrthiss (talk) 16:28, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
