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 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. TN X Man 14:30, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

At this point, I would be unwilling to allow you to continue editing the articles that you have been, based on your explanation above. Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a collection of links?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?

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 important principles above. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 10:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Follow up on request to be unblocked. I note that some companies with conflicting interests as ours was viewed as, have been removed but there are still some remaining.  The second reference...# ^ Janssen,R; NRAS Property Opportunity Report, 2010 see http://www.nrasincentives.com.au...is for Ruby Janssen from a commercial NRAS onselling website.  The fifth reference is for similar company too...^ National Housing Group see www.nationalhousinggroup.com.au.  Finally, the second external link of ...NationalRentalAffordabilityScheme.net.au  is not "The NRAS Program Explained in Plain English" as they claim but area lso a commercial NRAS onselling company. I'm still unsure as to why these companies are allowed to do what I was trying to do, except mine provided more use to the general public as I was making the information on NRAS correct.(Tandem54 (talk) 02:49, 11 November 2010 (UTC))


 * Those links are now gone. Thanks for pointing them out. I am unconvinced by your comment that you comprehend the first important point Bwilkins indicated above. There is a lot of junk on Wikipedia. The editors here can't catch it all. It saves a lot of needless work simply to block obvious offenders to prevent further abuse. Just because somebody else with a promotional agenda got away with violating the policies doesn't mean you should get a free pass to do the same, regardless of the user name you give to yourself. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * That's fine. I understand why I'm not going to be unblocked. My request wasnt simply to change my username (though that was the forefront request as I'm not too good with this talk format and am unsure how to ask for other things?), it was to change my username AND be unblocked - I wasnt intending to simply change the username and spam everywhere.  If I'm not going to be unblocked, could someone else please fix up the NRAS page?  As you pointed out, this is an encyclopedia...thus meaning information should be correct. The information under 'Assessment Criteria' doesnt make any sense - there isnt even any criteria listed.  If I cant remove this, could one of the admins please? Also, the income limits under Who Is Eligible To Rent The Dwellings is incorrect and outdated...is someone able to update this too please? I understand admin's jobs arent to construct the articles themselves, but as Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia and there isnt anyone else editing the information to make it correct, can someone please do it on my behalf? Im very passionate about NRAS and I dont want to see an oppotunity like NRAS go to waste before the Government no longer provides it as an investment opportunity.(Tandem54 (talk) 23:32, 11 November 2010 (UTC))


 * You may create a new account if you wish. I have modified the block on this account to allow for new account creation. Let me know if it doesn't work. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:02, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Just to make sure I do it right as I dont want to cause anymore problems - do I just create a new account in the same manner I created this one? Obviously just with a different user name tho. (Tandem54 (talk) 02:29, 12 November 2010 (UTC))


 * I made a different account (jade_atua) and edited to make the info correct. Can you please tell me if I set up the account right? and just to clarify that the changes I made are fine so I know if it's ok to keep editing in similar fashion as more information comes to light?
