Problem with your account name and editing
HI Pralbtelecom.al. I assume that your account name is supposed to mean "PR for Albtelecom". That is a problem. First, you can't use a company name for an account code, because it looks like the "company" is editing; all Wikipedia accounts must be registered to individuals. Second, if you are a PR agent for the company, you probably should not be editing any articles related to that company. This is explained in our conflict of interest guideline. The edits you made to Eagle Mobile are exactly the type of edits that are a concern for COI editors--the info you added was not neutral (as required by WP:NPOV), and not verified by reliable sources (as required by WP:V). The best step you can take is 1) request a change of user name at WP:CHU, and 2) make editing suggestions on the article's talk page rather than directly on the article. Be sure to provide reliable sources to support your suggested changes. Thanks. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:57, 26 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I tried to explain nicely above, but consider this your last warning: do not try to turn Eagle Mobile or any other article onto Wikipedia into an advertisement for the company or you will be blocked from further editing. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:53, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * 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. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:34, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Responding to your email
Hello again; I received your email and am responding here (I prefer that conversations be had publicly on Wikipedia so that other users can see what has transpired). I think that perhaps you are a little confused about Wikipedia. Our purpose is to be an online encyclopedia. That means that editors create neutral articles about notable subjects based on what can be found in reliable sources. We're not here as a business directory. That is, just because you want to have a Wikipedia page, does not mean you can do so. Similarly, if there is a Wikipedia page about your company or its subsidiaries, this does not mean that you can decide what goes in it. The information you were adding before was basically an advertisement (that is, it wasn't neutral, and instead designed to praise your products), and was unverified. Really, as a general rule, people should not edit articles about companies they work for (per WP:COI).

If you do want to contribute to Wikipedia, you'll have to do a few things. First, you have to follow the instructions in the unblock request above. This includes promising not to repeat the mistakes you made before, explaining how you'll edit differently in the future, and choosing a new username. We do not allow companies to have accounts; rather, each account must be operated by a single individual.

Then, if you are unblocked, you will have to contribute according to our rules. If you still want to assist with pages related to Pralbtelecom, you really should not edit the page directly. Instead, you should go to the article's talk page, and make suggestions there. However, those suggestions will need to be based on sources that are independent of your company—no press releases, not things from your website, etc.

I hope this clarifies the situation. Please ask further questions here—even though you are blocked, you may still edit this talk page. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:47, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
