User talk:Lulemedia

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. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  18:27, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

{{unblock-spamun|Lulemedia|I still don't understand why I got blocked.. I edited in the SANDBOX. If I would name myself as living in my city, would then I be blocked for 'promotion' too?} Lulemedia (talk) 18:42, 26 April 2012 (UTC)


 * But you didn't. You created an account in the name of your organization; and then did an edit which was worded as publicity for that organization. Either of these could have gotten you blocked; the combination guaranteed that you would be blocked. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  18:58, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

You still haven't really told us that you will stick to the guidelines. You seem not to understand that, for inclusion, a subject must meet Wikipedia's standards on notability. Although I'm not making any judgement on your organization's suitability to stay here, you are not allowed to write promotional articles. While the thing you wrote might not sound promotional to you, if you came here thinking "Hmm, if we write an article about our organization, people will read it and get interested", then you can't write an article like that. Also, we will rarely allow you to make a new account, and we can't delete accounts, either. We don't just block people for destroying pages, we also block people with inappropriate usernames, promotional edits, etc. You are blocked because of your username and your edits. First, read up on Wikipedia policies such as What Wikipedia is not, Notability, and others, and then put together a convincing unblock request, and you should have a good chance of getting unblocked. Good luck. Thekillerpenguin    (talk)   23:24, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Killerpenguin, will you look at the user's edits? They were in the sandbox, and they weren't promotional.
