Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. 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 or organization. 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, please see how to appeal a block.

Blocking
Dear Matt,

I don't understand why my user account has been blocked and the article I tried several times to publish is classified as promotional. There are thousands of articles pages regarding to companies like ours, for example "Rainbow S.p.A." is an Italian animation studio that has a close relationship with us (Motion Pictures, S.A.). They are very well known by been the producers of Winx Club and we have make and agreement with them, back in 2008 where we are going to be Rainbow Spain, representing their brands for our territories... I think it's a related and interesting article to read... That one of the biggest independent animation producers of Europe, Rainbow S.p.A. has arranged and agreement with us...

We are now developing the production of a TV animated series that will be a hit for sure! Entitled "Glumpers", already registered an article here at wiki's by someone who founded interesting enough, that is why I liked to link this Glumpers article to our company page, that I tried to contribute with, in order to inform the users about we, the producers of Glumpers. Please could you give me some advices about what I could leave and erase from the page I tried to submit?

Cheers and thanks for your patience! We would really like to be on wikipedia, I tried several times and seems to be too complicated to write an appropriated article...

All the best!

Alberto.


 * Hi Alberto. The main reason I blocked your account is that it doesn't comply with our username policy, as it represents a group or company.  I did not delete the article on Motion Pictures SA on its encyclopaedic merits or general "worthiness", but that it was written like an advert (this goes against one of our cornerstone policies of "neutral point of view".
 * You're welcome to register a new account that represents you as an individual (and not an account representing Motion Pictures SA) – see Username policy for rules on usernames.
 * In terms of writing the article, you're not forbidden to write about your company, but it is generally discouraged as it's a conflict of interest (are you writing for the benefit of the company or for the benefit of Wikipedia?). If you have content you'd like added then I'd gladly help you get a draft to Wikipedia standards.  What you'll need, however, is a number of reliable sources that document the company – such as newspaper articles or reviews, that sort of thing.  Remember that any articles on companies must pass the notability guidelines for organisations.  This is irrespective of whether a similar company has an article or not; each individual page should be judged on its own merits and how it meets guidelines.
 * I hope you understand everything, and I'd be more than happy to help if you have other questions. I've added this page to my watchlist so I can see when you've replied, or you're welcome to contact me at my talk page if and when you've registered a new account.

Hi Matt, many thanks for your fast reply. I understand your point of view. I will register again with another user name, in order to don't get in conflict with wikipedia's username policy and then will try to publish again a company article with some reliable sources. I will let you know when it's done. Cheers, MotionPicturesSA (talk) 10:33, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Please read also the Business FAQ that will be of help understanding the rules. -- Alexf(talk) 17:51, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
