There have been two problems with this account: 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 also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Please note that Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves. That is considered promotional, even if you are not selling something or soliciting customers. This is an encyclopedia, where article subjects (I will use companies as an example) must be shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself. As I note above, you won't be unblocked to edit about your company, at least in the near term. If you want to be an individual, general contributor, please follow the instructions above. Otherwise, this is the end of the road for your Wikipedia career. 11:09, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

TransactWiki (talk) 14:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC) Thank you for your response. In light of what you have said, we do believe that we fit the criteria for being a 'notable company.' Therefore, is there any way we could request an editor on Wikipedia creates a page for us if we provided some information?
 * There is the Requested Articles area, but it is severely backlogged with literally tens of thousands of requests, and your request would not be acted on for awhile, if ever. In any event, you can't do that either unless the block is removed.  To anticipate your next logical question, we cannot stop you from hiring a third party off wiki to write an article for you, but they would need to declare that you are paying them- and even if they did they would be at risk of being blocked as a sockpuppet or a meatpuppet since you are blocked, and we have no way of knowing who is sitting at the computer making edits.  Any paid editor you hire, despite what they say, can make no guarantees(such as writing an article that will not be deleted) so don't hand over any money until you see the final product.  In closing, there is very little chance that your company is going to have an article here any time soon- unless an independent editor takes note of your company and chooses on their own to write about it- which is what is supposed to happen anyway.  Keep in mind too that a Wikipedia article is not necessarily desirable. If you don't intend to be an independent, general contributor and request unblock as such, there is nothing more to be done here. 331dot (talk) 15:03, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
