User talk:Uwengineering

December 2018
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. 331dot (talk) 21:15, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

Unblock request
331dot, I'm new to the Wiki editing thing and overlooked the rule that my username should be my individual user name, not representative of my organization. I'm so new that I have no idea if I'm doing this unblock thing correctly. Is this where I'm supposed to paste  ?

I created the account expressly to update inaccurate information on the University of Washington College of Engineering page and to add information I thought would be helpful. Apparently, my edits were too braggy and I was blocked for that also. I used citations from respected external publications (Reuters and U.S. News & World Report) as well as our own website. We're a college within a public university, not looking for financial gain!

Thanks for your diligence and your help.

Liz
