 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. Girth Summit  (blether) 10:06, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Requesting clemency for incorrect username as I am new to Wikipedia for editing purposes and did not fully understand the username policy. I now understand that I cannot use a company name as a username and would like to change my user name to LainieMV if it is available. Thank you very much! This is to disclose that I am a paid employee of The Brian Nimens Corporation Limited, which owns Sound Ideas, SoundDogs.com, Westar Music and StockMusic.com as their Executive Assistant. My contributions are to update facts about these companies, only. I understand the reason for being blocked is that I used a company name as a username instead of an individual's name and I will not repeat the kind of edits for which I was blocked. The intended contributions I will be making will consist of updates to names, dates, and facts about the companies themselves, such as acquisitions, as well as facts about the increased sizes of music and special effects libraries and changes in ownership. I will be updating company logos and photos attached to the respective pages. I will not link any external websites as I now understand that this is considered as advertising. I as new to Wikipedia and was not in full understanding of the policies, but I have since read the policies and hope that I now fully understand.

Thank you for getting back to me. If you are saying that I still do not understand the problem, and I have read the policies and instructions, including about not using Wikipedia for advertising purposes, then can you please tell me exactly what it is that I need to do to rectify this so that I may update the pages for my company? Some guidance or support would be greatly appreciated rather than being told "no" with zero help. Thank you very much!SoundDogsCom (talk) 13:32, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Can someone please review my request to unblock me and provide me with assistance? I just need to update my employer's pages (SoundDogs.com and Sound Ideas) with the correct facts about the change of ownership, change of logo and additional photos. I am a first-time user and I've read the policies to the best of my abilities, yet I am told that I still don't understand the issue. I'd truly appreciate it if someone could please be clear and helpful so that I can carry on with this. Thank you!SoundDogsCom (talk) 21:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
