User talk:ProperProgrammingLLC

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Longhair\talk 09:34, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

You are blocked, not banned(they are different here). A company presenting facts about itself is considered to be promotional on Wikipedia; you don't have to be soliciting or selling something. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company says about itself, but in what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. You also have not proposed a new username as instructed. 331dot (talk) 09:40, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I see no request of a new username (as instructed) and your rules do NOT say that. It says that all conflicts of interest are to be disclosed (done) and it says that facts, not opinions must be submitted (done).  Notable companies is akin to saying Microsoft/IBM/Etc.  You have no evidence to support that I don't meet the needs of a notable company.  I guess you only support paid for articles, as that is common in the industry to get around your rules.  I request instructions on what needs to change from my username, and if this will change the fact I can't edit ANY page, regardless of its a COI
 * The block notice explains how to make a request that proposes a new username; business names as usernames are not permitted. Usernames must indicate a specific individual is exclusively operating the account(your real name is not required, just something unique). It is not up to me to prove that your company meets the definition of a notable company(please review); it is up to you as the person writing about it. Not every company merits a Wikipedia article, even within the same field.  As I tried to block you at the same time as the admin who actually did, I won't actually review your request, but typically in these cases we want the editor to work in areas completely unrelated to their conflict of interest in order to demonstrate that they 1) want to contribute to Wikipedia more broadly and 2) demonstrate through their edits that they understand Wikipedia content guidelines and things like notability. You probably won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your company, but if you want to edit in unrelated areas, please tell what those might be. 331dot (talk) 10:02, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

So how much do I have to pay to get the article to be written? Do I pay you? This is a racket. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.21.9.14 (talk)
 * Please log in before posting. Wikipedia does not charge for articles. Third party companies claim to offer Wikipedia editing services, but these are not endorsed by Wikipedia, and such services can make no guarantees(such as writing an article that will not be deleted) despite what they might say. I think you misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia and how it operates. Articles are typically written by independent editors who take note of a subject in independent reliable sources and choose on their own to write about it.  This is an encyclopedia, not a place for companies to write about themselves. 331dot (talk) 10:12, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
