User talk:Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments

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.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than 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 by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

I would add that Wikipedia is not for merely telling the world about your organization. That is something you should do on a website owned by the organization, or on social media. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources state about article subjects that are notable as Wikipedia defines it. In this case, that would be defined at WP:ORG. Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wants to say about itself; Wikipedia is only interested in what third parties state. 331dot (talk) 21:28, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Just in case, more information might be here. I might add that your comment that Wikipedia has other articles that are similar usually gets the response WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I took a quick look and the examples you gave seem to be well-sourced, just based on a quick look. The sources don't always seem to be independent, but articles that were created a long time ago weren't evaluated as carefully. —  Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  19:21, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
