User talk:Vanished user 277358572

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. Alexf(talk) 16:28, 16 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Given that your only edits have been to create a spammy user page (as a draft article?) about your company, please explain - in detail - the topics you intend to edit when unblocked. Nick-D (talk) 05:15, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, please read WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. Do you understand it, and are you willing to agree to comply with it? Wikipedia is extremely resistant to being used for any kind of promotion, and we find that users with a conflict of interest very often have a different idea from ours of what is or is not promotional.

 * User talk pages are not normally deleted, being required for the record - see WP:DELTALK and WP:BLANKING. If you wish the name of this account to be changed by invoking the "Right to Vanish", see WP:Courtesy vanishing for how to request that. JohnCD (talk) 14:33, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
