User talk:TechPDX

January 2021
 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 or other organisation or group or a 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. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:55, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Even just telling the world about your company's existence is still promotion. This is not a business directory, and companies aren't entitled to have an article just because they exist. Wikipedia includes only companies that have met its special definition of a notable company. Your company must have already received significant coverage from multiple reliable, third-party sources to meet this definition. We have no interest in what a business wants to say about itself.

Wikipedia also has a username policy which disallows accounts that use names that are the same as businesses and organizations. You will not be allowed to edit with your current username. You will need to change it to something that represents you as an individual.

However, if your only intention is to write about your company, it is unlikely that you will be unblocked. Please consider using many of the available alternative outlets available where you are allowed to write about your company. If you wish to become a general, individual contributor to Wikipedia and write about topics where you have no conflict of interest, then follow the unblock procedure described above. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:54, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
