Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended 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, organization, or clients. 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, organization, or clients. 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  18:54, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * unblock|I understand that you believe I edited the page as a marketing/promotion tool. But the School is a non-profit organization. Wikipedia has become a very common and reliable source that students use to research colleges and universities. The changes made by my account were to simply ensure that all information on the page is up to date and accurate. As people research the school, I want to make sure they are seeing the most up to date programs, and offerings. The School's goal is to educate these students, not to turn a profit. — Sedcommunications (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * You don't seem to understand. 1) Promotion may be committed by non-profits just as eagerly as by for-profits, in some cases even more so because the non-profits believe it is permitted in a Good Cause; and 2) we don't permit collective accounts for anybody, from the School of Ed there (or here at UW-Milwaukee for that matter) to Apple Inc. to the Congress of South African Trade Unions to me and my little sister and our nephew Johnny. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  19:51, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
