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. Alexf(talk) 19:33, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

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) 22:31, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions: Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory? Yes I do. Parsons Dance IS an artistic Dance Company that contributes Intellectual Dance Property to the world. I just wanted to update the current list of Dancers and include the newer choreographies created here at Parsons Dance, by David Parsons. I am working as an Intern at parsons dance, and saw that the information was incorrect, outdated, and piecey.

Do you understand conflict of interest? Yes, I realize that the external links were inefficient for wikipedias purposes, and do not intend to load the article again with these links. I wanted to provide pictorial representation of the art discussed and realize now I can upload these photos AND create new articles to accurately describe and represent these artistic works. I am seeking to provide information about the company, the work, and the history-not promote our shows/brand/sell tickets. My apologies if the links seemed to suggest otherwise.

Do you understand that to be considered for an encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable? The subject of Parsons Dance, David Parsons, and his related choreographic works are considered notable. I am also currently a BFA student of dance in New York City, and I must, as a requirement of my program and classes, conduct research on dance companies and choreographers all the time. There is an entire library dedicated to the performing arts at Lincoln Center that catalogs modern dance history in visual and written formats back the the very first clip of Isadora Duncan dancing in a garden. Parsons Dance has a current and modern working place in modern dance history as new choreographies are being created as we speak. I am not seeking to promote these dances, rather I am looking to catalog them on wikipedia for future students, appreciators, researchers, and critics of dance to have accurate information about Parsons Dance so that they may include facts when writing, quoting, and gaining knowledge about this company.
