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. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:31, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi User talk:Cullen328 slash Jim, I'm sorry, I am new to this and have no idea what I'm doing. I was asked to make edits to the Tepper School of Business and the Isabelle Bajeux pages to reflect the latest updates. I've never updated Wikipedia before. I tried to follow up in a few different ways but kept getting blocked messages, so I hope this works. I work for the Tepper School, which is why I was asked to update the information. I was hoping to further update our page since it's very out of date but I see that may be a conflict of interest now. It sounds like changing my username wouldn't be honest. I actually thought it was more appropriate to use the TepperSchool as the username. My mistake. I am happy to comply however, and/or have my account removed. Sorry for all of the trouble. If you can guide me as to the best way to make edits ethically, I would appreciate it. Thank you. TepperSchool (talk) 16:52, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, TepperSchool, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a ”Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or “FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding below this notice,.
 * I received your email and I have relaxed the block settings. After changing your username, please make the required Paid editing declaration, and limit yourself to making edit requests on the talk pages of any article where you have a conflict of interest.
