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. Favonian (talk) 21:27, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

I have read to Wikipedia Username Policy and it is stated there that: Company/group names Policy shortcuts: WP:CORPNAME WP:GROUPNAME WP:ORGNAME WP:PRODNAME WP:SPAMNAME See also: Wikipedia:Sock puppetry#Role accounts Unambiguous use of a name or URL of a company, group or product as a username is generally not permitted. Users who adopt such a username and engage in inappropriately promotional behaviors in articles about the company, group, or product, are usually blocked. Users who adopt such usernames, but who are not editing problematically in related articles, should not be blocked . Instead, they should be gently encouraged to change their username.

This is why I believe I should be able to Change my Username and add the links that I added before to Wikipedia articles. My Videos are of Great Value to people who might never be in Jerusalem. with My Video Blog they could Feel and Experience Jerusalem. MOREOVER, I do not have ADVERTISING in my blog.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

{{unblock reviewed | 1=my website is a private blog JerusalemExp (talk) Now I better understand the reason for blocking my username. BUT if the content that i am offering is VALUABLE???? I saw links to an article "Vid Dolorosa" which are to pages with ADVERTISING while my blog is clean of that.... Maybe you can add me blog to the article... It will bring great value to people who would like to see the real stations of the Via Dolorosa....and in the coming weeks I will have more posts dedicated for specific stations of the Via Dolorosa.... please also watch my OPENING Post to learn more about my blog. It seems that because my user name is the same as my blog create this miss understanding....

I have launched a Video Blog about Jerusalem to allow people who can not travel to Jerusalem, to visit Jerusalem holy sites via my Video posts. I have tried to post a link to my video post about the Via Dolorsa.

In my blog there are no any advertising like the current website that have links to the article "Via Dolorosa".

In the coming weeks I will be posting more videos of stations along the via dolorosa that I believe could be of great value to readers of the Wikipedia.

MOREOVER, I do not have ADVERTISING in my blog.I also so links to other websites that do have advertising on their pages Thanks, EranJerusalemExp (talk) 11:17, 6 January 2012 (UTC) | decline=It's got nothing to do with whether your blog contains advertising. Personal blogs (and Facebook pages, Youtube postings, etc) are not suitable sources for an encyclopedia (which is not a travel guide), and you cannot use Wikipedia for promoting yours -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:38, 6 January 2012 (UTC)}}
