I/O Bio Merino
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of I/O Bio Merino, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://bouldercyclesport.com/product/features/i-o-bio-mens-contact-long-sleeve-zip-1570-4532.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:03, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. 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 or organization. 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 below this message box.
 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:06, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

I am try to add a page similar to Smart Wool listed under Merino Wool Clothing. Am I going about this the wrong way?

Unfortunately, yes, you are. First, your username is promotional, and that is not allowed at Wikipedia. It would be best to choose a username that is not associated with any corporation or product with which you are involved. Secondly, please note that articles at Wikipedia cannot be copyright violations, that is, you can't just copy and paste from somewhere unless you are the original author of that content. In that case, you will probably have to self-identify through OTRS to confirm that you do actually own the content. Otherwise, articles should be created using your own words, but relating ideas from reliable, independent sources. You may find the information at Starting an article useful.
