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. OhNo itsJamie Talk 18:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

 * You are aware that if unblocked and permitted to change your username, you will not be permitted to WP:SPAM Wikipedia with inappropriate links like ones related to your organization? ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 14:16, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Definitely. I will not spam. Exception may be when I may not realize, that my actions might be considered spamming. If that may be a case - I will with no doubt revert my actions right after first notification. Everyone may make a mistake. Also I intend to make a page about my organization, which does not exist on Wikipedia now. Similar to this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BCrriyet TurkishNY (talk) 14:45, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

jpgordon, Please let me know how come Hürriyet can make a page about their company and I may not? TurkishNY (talk) 19:55, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't see any evidence that Hürriyet made a page about their company. Wikipedia volunteers made a page about Hürriyet. --jpgordon:==( o ) 01:10, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

I see the edits history on their page now. May I at least create a blank page about our company so Wikipedia contributors can add more information to it? Something like original Hürriyet page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=H%C3%BCrriyet&oldid=40426400. Our company does exist on market, while Wikipedia provides no information about it. Why is this considered spamming and not contribution to Wikipedia? TurkishNY (talk) 16:26, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:FAQ/Organizations and our conflict of interest guidelines to understand why we so strongly discourage companies and their representatives from writing about themselves. --jpgordon:==( o ) 21:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
