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. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:50, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Please understand that Wikipedia is not for merely telling about a subject. Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(for organization, that is written at WP:ORG). Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wants to say about itself. If you are just here to tell the world about your organization, you will not be unblocked, and should consider alternative outlets. If you want to be an individual, general Wikipedia contributor and edit about subjects unrelated to your conflict of interest, please proceed as stated above. 331dot (talk) 11:32, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm just trying to put some information up about a charity that we run. You can check our website.  If someone else wants to do it that would be great.  We then want to mention a building in Soho we are trying to save.  I've not used Wikipaedia before.   I'm not trying to sell anything.  Can I be given an email so I can talk to someone who can help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sohosociety (talk • contribs)
 * Please click "edit" at the very top of the page and not the section header, or click "edit" by the section header for this section so your post is in the correct place.
 * What I am telling you is that what you are trying to do is considered promotional and not permitted here. Wikipedia is not for organizations to tell the world about themselves or what they do. You may want to direct your efforts to social media like Facebook, which is meant for organizations to tell the world about themselves and what they do.   If your organization gets significant coverage in independent reliable sources, someone else can indeed write about it, but even they can't promote the organization and what it does.  I'm sorry.  As I said, if you want to be a general contributor and edit about subjects unrelated to your organization, please proceed as stated in the block notice. 331dot (talk) 11:54, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
