User talk:TrentB

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.

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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

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?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  16:15, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Unblock Please

 * I will not discuss potential unblocks via e-mail. The only possible way for this userid to be unblocked is in order to change usernames - any other editing, including AFC submissions, would be a violation of that unblock condition.  In order to be unblocked, you would have to a) agree not to edit a subject with which you have COI, b) submit the proper unblock request , c) not to use Wikipedia to promote ANY entity ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 17:54, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Unblock Request

 * Also, please only open one unblock request at a time. There's no reason to make three requests simultaneously.  --Chris (talk) 20:37, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Got ya, I submitted a new name. Thanks

To Chris
Thank you Chris for unblocking. Do I need to do anything else Thebriles (talk) 21:49, 13 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes!!!! Please put this request in at Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  21:54, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

It will not allow me to submit a request. The page says "I'm blocked and cant edit" Thebriles (talk) 22:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

I went to Wikipedia:Changing username and clicked on simple, but it wont allow me to edit due to being blocked.Thebriles (talk) 22:23, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
