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 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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Unblock me please
To be frank, Wikipedia is not concerned with what your job duties might be with regards to editing. Feel free to show your superiors this message. You won't be unblocked to just edit about your company. If you want to be an individual, general Wikipedia contributor, please follow the instructions above. You or your company are free to use social media or your own website to post whatever information you wish. 331dot (talk) 10:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Reponse to decline for unblocking
you must confirm that this account is used by one individual only - yes, I confirm it will just be used by me.no one else knows the username or password. you must agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organization (requested edits will still be permitted) - if I can make requested edits then yes that's fine. you must agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose any paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy - I don't get paid by anyone to make contributions, so yes I agree. I've wanted to create an account for a while. you must indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future - I read a lot of Wikipedia, so I will suggest edits to any pages where I spot something that needs an edit. Do I need to tell you specific pages I follow?

Thanks,

Rachael
 * You say you are a Simmons and Simmons employee and that you were asked to edit about your company; this makes you a paid editor and you must comply with the paid editing policy(once unblocked). You don't have to be paid for each individual edit; being asked to edit by your employer or even merely editing about your employer triggers the paid editing policy.  However, as you don't have any specific plans to edit a certain article or topic areas, there would not be grounds to lift the block.  You seem to be saying what we want to hear to get unblocked so you can edit about your company.  You will need to spend much time(six months to a year minimum) developing a good edit history before you will be permitted to make edit requests on articles related to your company. You are free to make a new unblock request that will be reviewed by someone else, but it is not likely you are going to be unblocked to edit about your company in the short term. 331dot (talk) 10:44, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I will comply with the paid editing policy.

I genuinely, 100%, do read a lot of Wikipedia, and would make edits to other pages.

I'll make another request now, thanks.
