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 other than promoting 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. N.J.A.  &#124; talk  10:55, 20 February 2020 (UTC) Although there was a disclosure of employer, the name is not per the convention e.g. “Ray at Sofigate” or otherwise clearly an account for a person, see WP:ISU, N.J.A.  &#124; talk  10:55, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

But surely there are thousands of pages about companies on Wikipedia? And most of them are most likely written by someone close to that particular company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sofigate (talk • contribs)
 * When we find violations of WP:COI, we resolve them. You are roughly saying, "other pages may be breaking the rules so we should be able to break the rules, too". That doesn't fly here; see WP:OTHERSTUFF. --Yamla (talk) 12:34, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
