 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * 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; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. The Night Watch    (talk)   18:21, 15 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Good afternoon,
 * I am new to Wikipedia, however I'm not sure how or why I was blocked as I own the trademark to the name Whiskey River (band). If there is a more appropriate page setup I should go through, please direct me that way... as I stated, I am new to Wikipedia.
 * Thank you. Whiskey River Band (talk) 19:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi there. You account was blocked since your account name appeared to represent the musical group “Whisky River Band”, and you made a now-deleted post to your user page which appeared to promote said band. Since you said that you own the name, and the content that you added to your user page said that the band owns the trademark to the name, I assumed that you have some sort of connection to said band. If you would like to be unblocked, you should disclose whether or not you have a conflict of interest with the band. Also, account names that unambiguously represent a company, organization, or a music group are not permitted and you should ask for rename before you are unblocked. You can paste the bracketed text in the above message to help request an unblock. Do know that using Wikipedia as a personal web host or for advertising is forbidden.
