Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

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, organization, or clients. 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?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Peridon (talk) 12:11, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia, talents for asia is not spamming your site, we are a simple platform fighting for musicians rights and would like to see equality and slavery type treatment stopped in the bands for hire segment of the entertainment industry. It is owned by my self an in the last 5 years since incorporation has been run by three people, we are not a huge corporation but are a business that helps. You can check out our articles at www.tfanews.blogspot.com. As such we don’t have a ton of money to spend on SEO’s and writers to write for us, I write everything all on my own which keeps cost down and allows us to reduce profits an increase musicians salaries because of our low over heads As such we kindly appeal to your esteemed site to please allow our post to go through so more people will understand that we are not a money hungry corporation but a simple platform /brand created with good intentions and are focused in our direction as to where we want to go. As such we hope you will allow our recent information to be published an be kind to people like my self who started this business only with 25 usd 6 years ago and still fighting every day to do right in helping musicians get legally employed an to have employers follow the standards of human rights as stated in the united nations declaration of human rights. Many people don’t know the pains musicians face from discrimination to even slavery type employment an we are fighting so hard an using every free platform we can to reach our goal of one day becoming recognized brand that places humanity above profits.

 * The writing was purely promotional in both versions - you have also previously posted it as User:Talents For Asia TFA. I would point out that using multiple accounts is not allowed for trying to evade a block or for abuse of editing privilege such as advertising. Wikipedia is not for advertising. It is also not a 'free platform' or a directory. It is an encyclopaedia and articles are on subjects with shown notability (see WP:CORP which are referenced to reliable independent sources (see WP:RS) and written with a neutral point of view WP:NPOV. I think that you, like many others, have mistaken what Wikipedia is. 'Free to edit', yes. But there are rules and policies that should be adhered to. As a musician, I applaud any attempt to better the life of other musicians, but Wikipedia cannot help you do this. There are plenty of other 'free' places where promotion is allowed.

 * A question: are you connected in any way with COMMFIRM of Dubai? Something makes me think there might be a connection somewhere. Peridon (talk) 13:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
