User talk:Runwayreport

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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, or organization. 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 or organization. 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, please see how to appeal a block.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:45, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for email. Several issues.
 * You were blocked from using this account name because it is not allowed to use names of organisations. That is construed as advertising. The box above explains the policy, tells you how to appeal if you think your user name is not that of a company, and how to set up a new username.


 * I deleted the two articles (magazine and TV) because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising platform. Your articles said nothing significant about the company itself, they were written in a promotional tone and looked like adverts for the organisation. Please see this information. Examples of spam include
 * can be purchased at Walgreens, Barns and Noble, Target and many other fine book stores
 * links to Youtube and Facebook spam pages

There was nothing about sales, revenue, stall employed etc


 * You did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines. The company's websites are not independent.


 * Hope this helps  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:44, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
