User talk:Paper and Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council

June 2020
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Paper and Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it resembles a company. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. {&#123;3125A &#124; talk &#125;} 13:44, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

The user name Paper and Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council is a Canadian Packaging Industry Association that has been in use for 30 years. I may have created a page five years ago but I could not find it. I did create a page Ppec-paper but we need the page to show our full name as PPEC is very commonly used for several different companies and not for profits.

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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting 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 it. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

 * I agree with . People who have a conflict of interest do not count in the say. (Correct me if I'm wrong) {&#123;3125A &#124; talk &#125;} 14:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I believe that you have been told to create an account to write an article about your company. Well, your company is not even notable enough for an article! Try telling that to your Executive Director. {&#123;3125A &#124; talk &#125;} 17:58, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
