User talk:Pizzaiolo - The Pizza Maker's Pizza

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Pizzaiolo - The Pizza Maker&#39;s Pizza", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 14:03, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

 Many people come to edit Wikipedia with mistaken ideas as to the nature of Wikipedia, and in perfectly good faith do things which are not in line with Wikipedia policies, and unfortunately you seem to have done so. The account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy, and both your editing history and your username indicate 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 this page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. 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 kind of edits for which you were blocked. To save wasting time asking for a name that's already been taken, go to Special:CentralAuth, type your name in the box, and click on the button. If the name is already in use you will see some details about the account with that name, and if it isn't in use you'll see a red message telling you there is no global account with that name.
 * 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 below.

Before making any unblock request, you should read the guide to appealing blocks. JBW (talk) 14:12, 5 September 2022 (UTC)


 * The username you requested still violates our username policy. Please refer to the note at the topmost of this page.
 * If your company's registered name is different from what is shown on Wikipedia, please provide a secondary and reliable source that supports the claim you just made. &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 15:04, 5 September 2022 (UTC)


 * To help you, I am correcting the formatting of your unblock request. In the way you wrote it, it would not be included in the list of pending unblock requests, so it is likely that no administrator would ever have seen it if I hadn't come back to see whether you had posted any response. I will also give you the following word of advice. In its present form your unblock request has no chance at all of being accepted. Did you read the information in the block message above about what you needed to do to request an unblock? Did you take the advice to read the guide to appealling blocks before making a request? If you didn't do both of those then I advise you to do both now, and then adjust your unblock request, so that you do have a chance of being unblocked. JBW (talk) 19:00, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

You are
mistaken, I should suppose, mistaking WP:article names with WP:user names. Sorry this is confusing for you. You are blocked because your user name is the name of a company. This is explained in the message at the top of your talk page. Please follow the instructions for changing your user name. Also, you should not create or edit articles about your company as you would have a conflict of interest. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:58, 5 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, since it appears that you represent this company, you should be aware that you have no right of ownership or control over the contents of the article about your company. Wikipedia is a collaborative project - anyone can edit any article at any time, and content is owned by no one. The article is not for you to use as part of your marketing or advertising.


 * If you decide to return, then you should learn the procedure to create edit requests when you want changes to any article where you have a conflict of interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:43, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
