Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended 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, organization, or clients. 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, organization, or clients. 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. TN X Man 21:50, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Unblocking page.
Can someone please contact me about this page? I'd like to know what I can do to have it unblocked. Thanks!


 * As the block message indicates, your username is not acceptable. Even in the case of a demonstrably worth-while cause, using an organisation name as your username is not allowed. To request unblock, use unblock-un. But you will almost certainly not be allowed to edit about your own organisation; see conflict of interest guidelines. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:59, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

James, I can understand your argument. However, I have seen many nonprofit organizations with pages with similar content as the one I submitted. For example, consider Bread for the City: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_for_the_City. This is a nonprofit that my organization works with regularly. It is unclear to me why this page can be published but not my organization's. I'm happy to make any changes that you recommend to meet similar standards. Any insights you can share would be appreciated. Thank you.
