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, 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, 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. v/r - TP 18:46, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I've been blocked and need help!
I have been blocked by TParis for "promoting" a business on this site. It was unintentional and I wa simply creating a page on behalf of a company with content they submitted to me.

I can edit the content so it isnt promotional but I need to be unblocked. HELP!!!
 * Wikipedia accounts must be for individuals only, and accounts whose names are those of groups or organizations are not permitted. You can submit an unblock request in order to change username, as described in the block notice above, but here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?


 * You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above.


 * Also, if unblocked, you must not hijack the existing article Stone Academy about a historic building, but use a new title such as "Stone Academy (Blanktown)". JohnCD (talk) 14:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I appreciate your help. I tried renaming my account but due to the block I cant do anything. You mentioned that changing the user name probably wouldnt do me any good but clearly this is all very new to me and I could probably use more assistance.

Would it be best for me to just start over again with a new user name? With the fact that my IP address is the same be an issue? Thanks again for your help.
 * Please sign posts here with ~ . Your IP might be an issue. It is possible to get a change of name - so long as you understand what JohnCD has said above, and so long as you answer right and tell us what sort of editing you'll be doing. Peridon (talk) 20:08, 27 June 2011 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) :No, it would be best to request an unblock in order to change username. As explained in the block notice above, you do that by placing   at the bottom of this talk page; then another admin will consider your request, but you need also to answer the three questions above that start "Do you understand... ", after reading them including clicking on the blue "links" within them. JohnCD (talk) 20:13, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

The new user name is based on the advice another individual suggested to me. How is it not any better??? I've said this numerous times, I have no idea what I'm doing. It would be nice if you could offer a suggestion or a little advice as to how to fix where I went wrong rather than just telling me it's not any better. With all do respect, I'm not sure how you expect me to prove that the content will change if you continue to block me.


 * You're confusing a couple of things. Your user name may not be that of a business, organization, college, etc. Another editor suggested that the article you were working on should be entitled so as not to clash with the existing Stone Academy article. --jpgordon:==( o ) 17:51, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
