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, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization 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. Courcelles 10:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)


 * On another note, this user may have possibly created at sock, User:MimeKaur. Created today at 08:43, 20 September 2010, about 6 days after this original user was blocked. This users only edit was to recreate that page to more or less the same version at the deleted version that this user created. Don't know if a CU is required, but I may suggest further blocking if this is proven to be a sock. The  Helpful  One  17:33, 20 September 2010 (UTC)


 * What about User:MimeKaur? ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 09:16, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
 * A new editor creates, word-for-word, the same article that a recently blocked editor created, and the use of the same IP is admitted. How WP:DUCK do you have to be? --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 13:40, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

It is very remarkable that two colleagues, without one another's knowledge, should independently create an article on the same topic, within a few days of one another. That virtually the whole article which these two colleagues created independently, without one another's knowledge, should be word for word identical, makes this remarkable coincidence almost uncanny. That one of them opened an account and created the article while the other was blocked makes it truly astounding. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:55, 21 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Part of the problem is that you seem to have a relationship with this organization; we ask editors closely related to a subject to avoid writing articles about the subject. It's called a conflict of interest and causes problems judging the importance of a subject and can often make it seem biased. If we unblock you, would you agree to not write articles about Total Sports Asia? Hers fold  (t/a/c) 01:39, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, i'll agree not to write an article on Total Sports Asia where this will violated the rules for promoting or advertising purposes. That's a reason i requested to change my username to my suggested username (Soonkies). I wouldn't want my username to be block for such mistake again. I just wonder how we can avoid someone from the same organisation use the wiki as we use the same IP address? Totalsportsasia (talk) 07:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC)


 * No; the question you were asked was "would you agree to not write articles about Total Sports Asia?" No conditions; just a yes or no will do. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:45, 22 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, please put any new unblock requests at the bottom of this page, not at the top. --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 07:34, 29 September 2010 (UTC)


 * An additional important point: if others from your office make the same or similar edits, this could quite conceivably be considered to be the use of meatpuppets, and you may find yourself blocked for the use of socks. As you now understand WP:COI/WP:PROMO - and you apparently are aware of the personnel in your organization who hold the other accounts, it would be wise for you to inform them of the same things - their actions will reflect on you.  Does this make sense? ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 12:19, 30 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, i understand. Totalsportsasia (talk) 18:48, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
