Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Jay Dillon Rare Books", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies shared use. All wikipedia acounts must be for individuals, and no account name may be the name of a buisness or group. See our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  02:51, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Your new requested username is "still" promotional. Usernames need to represent an individual not a book store. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 20:04, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

 * If by "give information" you mean "add an image caption that comes with a link to my website where people can buy the book, with my catalogue number helpfully attached so they'll find navigating my bookshop easier", that's not the kind of information Wikipedia accepts.

 * This was the edit at Riot Act where you announced the availability of the book identified yourself as the holder of the book and provided an image. The figure caption (which mentions your store) can be seen in this version of Riot Act. See the upper right corner of the page. EdJohnston (talk) 22:01, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Fixed a mistake in my comment per the editor's response below. You were not offering the book for sale, but just stating that it was in your collection. EdJohnston (talk) 04:11, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

 * The username you chose above, JayDillon, is too similar to an existing one, Jay Dillon, so please choose a different one. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:24, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
