Username

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, FSMarketing, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it it represents an organization rather than an individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:21, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. 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.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. 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:

• Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} 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, please see how to appeal a block.

Request reason:

I see that I have been blocked on suspicion of using Wikipedia for promotional purposes, and it is believed that Franklin Street Marketing is not a notable company. Before deciding to create a Wikipedia page, I did research to see if posting a page about our agency would be a legitimate use of the website. On Wikipedia, I found a page for a direct competitor of ours: Neathawk Dubuque & Packett (ND&P). I noticed that their page had been up since 2006, and noted that it contained basic information about their agency. It is apparent, looking at the discussion page, that a representative of the agency authored the page, so I was under the impression this was OK, so long as the article itself was written in an impartial manner. When writing the Franklin Street Marketing article, I modeled the content after the ND&P article so as to stay within the limits of Wikipedia regulations. I do feel Franklin Street is a notable organization - the agency has served clients across the country for 24 years, has won numerous awards, and has been featured in several industry publications. Unfortunately, most of the agency's appearances in the press are not available on the publications' websites, so I did not make mention of them. Please advise on how to improve the Franklin Street Marketing page to meet Wikipedia standards. If I am unblocked, I would like to (if possible) get the Franklin Street Marketing page to meet Wikipedia standards, and I would contribute additional information to existing pages lacking complete information, such as Catholic Health Initiatives and Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. There are also large healthcare marketing publications that have no mention on Wikipedia, such as HealthLeaders Media, that I could contribute to.

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).
