 * The username of this account indicates that it is used to represent an organisation or a company, but Wikipedia policy is that an account is for an individual person, and must not represent any company or other organisation, nor may it be shared by more than one person. You should therefore not continue to edit from this account. An account name like "Anne Smith at Mega Trading Company", indicating the company you work for, but also indicating that the account is for an individual person at that company, would be acceptable, and would have the advantage of transparency.


 * Whatever username you use, you should be aware that Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest discourage you from editing articles about subjects you have a personal connection to, such as a business you work for. If there are factual corrections you think should be made to such an article, you may propose them on the article's talk page, putting the tag there, to ask for a neutral, uninvolved, editor to assess your request and decide whether to make the change to the article. Also, if editing Wikipedia is part of work for which you are paid, you must declare that fact, and state precisely what your position is.


 * Finally, please bear in mind that, no matter what username you use and how clearly you declare your interest, editing which appears to be promotional or non-neutral is unacceptable under Wikipedia policy. The editing you have done was to some extent promotional in character.
 * Content of Wikipedia articles should be cited to reliable sources. Wikipedia policy is that material is not accepted merely on the basis that someone who has chosen to create a Wikipedia account says so.  JBW (talk) 21:59, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

 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. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  22:01, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
