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 or a web site, 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. 331dot (talk) 20:23, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, Yunshui. Can you please help me understand how best to proceed? I see you note that requested edits will still be permitted. This is a company page I am affiliated with, and it does need edits made, as I noted much of the information currently listed is not factual. Can I provide recommended edits here on the talk page for your consideration? Based on the resources and links you provided, it sounds like that is an appropriate course of action. Please let me know. Regardless of who makes the changes, I would think Wikipedia would want to make an effort to provide accurate information. If I have misunderstood the best course of action, please let me know what can be done differently. Thank you.
 * When you are blocked, the only proper use of this page is to request to be unblocked. If unblocked, you will be permitted to make edit requests on the article talk page, but you need to get unblocked first. Part of that is (in another request) you agreeing to the statements mentioned above and compliance with the stated policies. Are you interested in editing about any other subjects not related to your lawfirm? 331dot (talk) 20:20, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

I would be happy to edit other pages, but am not sure how to go about doing so. My primary concern is the glaring inaccuracies on the Armstrong Teasdale page. Is there a way I can flag the page to the editors and ask them to review the page in detail? Multiple attorneys listed no longer work there. The office locations are all wrong, etc. I would think regardless of whether myself or another editor makes the edits, Wikipedia would want to have the most accurate information available. I'd be happy to call out those inaccuracies to another editor via the Talk page. Otherwise, I agree to the information provided above and ask to be unblocked so that I can request edits to the Armstrong Teasdale Talk page ONLY. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkriegel61087 (talk • contribs)
 * You will need to make another formal unblock request in which you describe your answers to 's response above; since the username issue is now resolved you may use the standard unblock request as described at the end of your block notice. We do want information to be accurate, but it must be done in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines.  331dot (talk) 16:06, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Mkriegel61087, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Armstrong Teasdale have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:14, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
