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 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, 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. Alexf(talk) 18:01, 25 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reason, I will just add the standard questions we always use in these cases, so that there is no misunderstanding.
 * Here are a few key questions:


 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the three important principles above.  Ron h jones (Talk) 18:50, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I understand now all of the 3 important principles above and vow not to violate them again with a new username.


 * Sounds good. I'd be willing to unblock you and change your username as requested, unfortunately the name "Tellus" has already been taken on the English Wikipedia, and a number of people have created accounts by the same name on other language Wikipedias. To avoid conflicts, is there another name you'd like to use? You can check at Special:Listusers to see if a name is already in use. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 17:29, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for accepting my reason SPhilbrick  T. However, When I went to put in my request at Changing username and tried to use the simple venue for changing my username, it wouldn't let me because it said my username is still blocked and was disabled by Alexf(talk). I'm not sure what I need to do.
