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.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * 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. Peridon (talk) 17:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...it merely describes the company. My intent was to provide an informational page, not to promote the business. This business is exclusively commercial services and does not appeal to greater audiences because it does not provide services to residential customers. I hope you will reconsider your decision to block this site. Thank you. --Milano Cleaning Services, Inc. (talk) 17:55, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:CORP. Not every company gets an article here - notability has to be shown, and proven with reliable independent sources WP:RS. A cleaning business with 26 employees is unlikely to meet the notability standards - some types of business attract more coverage than others, and cleaning isn't one that attracts attention. Please also look at WP:USERNAME as user names on Wikipedia must not appear to represent organisations, and this is the prime reason for the block on this account. Despite the comparatively neutral tone of your former user page, I feel that the intent was to bring the company before a larger public, Wikipedia articles are sought after by PR people and others as they are thought to give a business an added notability. We, however, want the notability to be there first, and also prefer articles to be written by people who are not closely connected to their subject WP:COI. Peridon (talk) 18:44, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
