Hello Wikipedia,

First of all, I received a link to join wikipedia and I thought I was creating a profile for my company. There was never any intention of violating any rules or guidelines here on wikipedia. We simply created a page with our company information. After this issue I am not sure how to use wikipedia but happy to learn. However, I don't believe being blocked is the answer either. We made an honest mistake here since we are noobs on wikipedia and how it works. We are happy to remove any information relating to our company that is not allowed until we understand how to use wikipedia better.

As we are starting to understand a little more about wikipedia since we are noobs at this, we would be writing about how important it is for the media to focus more attention on inspiring and positive news, especially in today's world. Not to mention, children are most easily influenced by all kinds of negative media. This is a subject we would be writing about if that is ok with wikipedia. Our goal is to create awareness about all forms of media and their influences on society, especially the influence it has on children and even grown ups. Humanity needs to be focusing more on positive media and all of the good we are capable of. The problem with much of today's media is we are too focused on the negative, and that is not healthy or good for anyone. There needs to be a better balance and we hope to bring that awareness through our works. This would be the subject area and articles we would contribute on wikipedia or intend to edit. Clearly this is a misunderstanding and our error for not learning more about how wikipedia works. Our sincere apologies for being noobs here. We are Not here to dishonor or violate any rules.

We would appreciate a second chance to correct this and again, since we are new to this we did not know any better. Like I said, we created this like a profile for our company, we did not know that was against any rules. The link we found when entering our quote was to sign up with wikipedia and that's what we did. We were not aware that entering our company information was not allowed. Again, our sincere apologies for not knowing. We would like to start fresh, and please feel free to remove any information we entered that may be in violation of your site's terms. We would like nothing more than to be a good and useful part of your community.

If wikipedia and its community can't see this was an honest error on our part and clearly there was never any intent on violating any terms of your site, then we respectfully ask that you, wikipedia, completely delete our profile and name altogether. We don't believe being blocked or punished for making an honest mistake for the first time serves anyone's interest.

Ps I am not very familiar using Wikipedia - it seems rather complicated. Either way, we kindly ask that this block issue is resolved fairly.

Thank you for your attention in this matter. Have a wonderful day! Jeff

There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group, 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 your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that 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.
 * 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
