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. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable?

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 3 important principles above. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   00:08, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I fully understand the three points you have highlighted. It is not my intention to promote any organisation, but merely to provide unbiased information regarding the film Opus K, which I feel is notable if only for the fact that not many indigenous feature films get made in Ireland. Again, I understand the reasons for my username being flagged and Wikipedia's policy regarding content. Triptychprodns (talk) 00:22, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not the place to seek publicity for a cause, product, individual, ideology, etc. Promotional or partisan "information" in particular generally fails Wikipedia's requirements of neutrality and verifiability. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:30, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I followed the guidelines in the wizard and studied other similar pages to the one I wished to create (of which there are many) including making content verifiable via appropriate links. Clearly I have been naive in my endeavours. Thank you at least for entertaining my appeal. Regards to you both. Triptychprodns (talk) 00:39, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No one has declined the unblock yet - we are trying to determine if it your intent to edit Wikipedia for other purposes, or whether you will continue to work on this specific article, contrary to policies noted above. I appreciate your new understanding of WP:COI and WP:PROMO. If unblocked and you change your userid, what other subjects will you be working on?
